`
`
`
`Defendant and Counter-Plaintiff Level 3 Communications, LLC (“Level 3”) hereby files a
`
`Statement regarding Amazon’s Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings on Infringement Claims Against
`
`CloudFront. (Dkt. 413 in Case No. 5:18-md-02834-BLF).
`
`Paragraph 3 of the operative complaints states: “All infringement allegations, statements
`
`describing PersonalWeb, statements describing any Defendant (or any Defendant’s products) and any
`
`statements made regarding jurisdiction and venue are made by PersonalWeb alone, and not by Level 3.
`
`PersonalWeb alleges that the infringements at issue in this case all occur within, and are limited to, the
`
`PersonalWeb Patent Field. Accordingly, PersonalWeb has not provided notice to Level 3—under Section
`
`6.4.1 of the Agreement or otherwise—that PersonalWeb desires to bring suit in the Level 3 Exclusive
`
`Field in its own name on its own behalf or that PersonalWeb knows or suspects that Defendant is infringing
`
`or has infringed any of Level 3’s rights in the patents.” (See, e.g., Dkt. 175 at 1).
`
`Paragraph 6 of the operative complaints states: “PersonalWeb’s infringement claims asserted in
`
`this case are asserted by PersonalWeb and all fall outside the Level 3 Exclusive Field. Level 3 is currently
`
`not asserting patent infringement in this case in the Level 3 Exclusive Field against any Defendant.” (See,
`
`e.g., Dkt. 175 at 2).
`
`Level 3 understands that, based on the following language in the Court’s Order Granting in Part
`
`and Denying in Part Amazon’s Motion for Summary Judgment, the Court seeks Level 3’s input on whether
`
`Level 3 asserts patent infringement in the Level 3 Exclusive Field: “Although PersonalWeb argues that
`
`the Kinetech-Digital Island Agreement does not preclude its right to assert these infringement claims
`
`against Amazon’s CloudFront product, the Court will not analyze and resolve this issue without input
`
`from Level 3. Amazon is free to challenge the inclusion of CloudFront in a separate motion and the Court
`
`will expect Level 3 to either join in PersonalWeb’s opposition or to file a separate opposition.” (Dkt. 394
`
`at 10).
`
`Level 3 hereby confirms it is not asserting patent infringement in this case in the Level 3 Exclusive
`
`Field against any Defendant, including Amazon, or against any Defendant’s product, including
`
`CloudFront. Level 3 takes no position regarding Amazon’s Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings.
