`LITIGATION
`
`
`
`Case No. 18-md-02834-BLF
`
`
`ORDER RE: JOINT STATEMENT ON
`RESOLUTION OF CUSTOMER CASES
`PER SUMMARY JUDGMENT ORDER
`
`[Re: ECF 405]
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Before the Court is the parties’ Joint Statement re Resolution of Customer Cases per
`
`Summary Judgment Order (“Joint Statement”). Joint Statement, ECF 405. The parties agree that
`
`eight customer cases are fully adjudicated. See id. at 1. The parties shall file a written stipulation
`
`and proposed order dismissing these eight cases, as well as a proposed judgment, no later than
`
`April 19, 2019.
`
`The parties dispute whether two additional cases1 are fully adjudicated by the Court’s
`
`summary judgment order:
`
`PersonalWeb Tech., LLC et al. v. Fab Commerce & Design, Inc. (No. 5:18-cv-03578); and
`
`PersonalWeb Tech., LLC et al. v. Zoom Video Commc’n Inc. (No. 5:18-cv-05625).
`
`Amazon argues that PersonalWeb repeatedly told the Court that these two cases involve “only S3
`
`Related Activity” and would be “out” of the MDL if the Court granted Amazon’s claim
`
`preclusion/Kessler motion. See Joint Statement at 1. PersonalWeb counters that Amazon’s claim
`
`preclusion/Kessler motion was denied without prejudice with respect to CloudFront and argues
`
`that it “explicitly alleged infringement involving CloudFront in its First Amended Complaints” in
`
`Fab Commerce and Zoom Video. See Joint Statement at 5–6, 10–11.
`
`
`1 The parties incorrectly list the case numbers for these two cases. See Joint Statement at 1, 10.

`
`Case 5:18-md-02834-BLF Document 408 Filed 04/16/19 Page 2 of 2
`
`
`
`
`
`The Court has reviewed the operative complaints in Fab Commerce and Zoom Video and
`
`finds any allegations with respect to CloudFront far from explicit. However, the respective
`
`complaints each make vague reference to CloudFront via exhibit. At this stage it is unclear
`
`whether PersonalWeb is requesting leave to further amend the complaints in Fab Commerce and
`
`Zoom Video to make clear that Amazon’s CloudFront product is accused in these two cases. The
`
`parties are hereby ordered to meet and confer regarding whether a stipulation to file amended
`
`complaints is in order and advise the Court of how they wish to proceed no later than April 19,
`
`2019.
`
`
`
`Finally, with respect to the remaining cases in which the parties agree the Court’s summary
`
`judgment order only partially resolves the infringement allegations, the parties shall file a
`
`stipulation identifying the specific paragraph(s) or claim(s) of the respective complaints that are
`
`fully adjudicated by the Court’s summary judgment order. This stipulation shall be due no later
`
`than April 26, 2019.
`
`
`
`IT IS SO ORDERED.
`
`Dated: April 16, 2019
