`Case 5:20-cv-05676-EJD Document 52 Filed 12/28/20 Page 2 of 4
`
`
`
`Applied Materials, Inc. (“Applied”) submits this administrative motion to consider
`whether this case, Applied Material, Inc. v. Demaray LLC, No. 5:20-cv-05676-EJD (N.D. Cal.)
`(“Applied I”), should be considered a “related case” under Local Rule 3-12 to the following
`action: Applied Material, Inc. v. Demaray LLC, No. 3:20-cv-09341 (N.D. Cal.) (“Applied II”).
`“An action is related to another when: (1) The actions concern substantially the same
`parties, property, transaction or event; and (2) It appears likely that there will be an unduly
`burdensome duplication of labor and expense or conflicting results if the cases are conducted
`before different Judges.” L.R. 3-12(a).
`Both actions involve the same parties (Applied and Demaray), both actions relate to
`whether Applied and Applied’s products infringe two of Demaray’s patents, and both actions
`raise additional claims relating to the same license and ownership defenses of non-infringement
`relating to Demaray’s patents. As explained in Applied’s Administrative Motion to Lodge New
`Declaratory Judgment Complaint, Dkt. No. 48, Applied filed the new complaint in Applied II in
`view of the Court’s finding that Applied did not plead in its operative complaint a sufficient
`controversy to warrant declaratory judgment jurisdiction. Dkt. No. 47 (denying Applied’s motion
`for preliminary injunction). With the exception of additional factual allegations added to the new
`complaint in Case No. 3:20-cv-09341 relating to subject matter jurisdiction and the
`aforementioned non-infringement causes of action, the actions are substantively identical.
`Demaray does not appear to disagree that the two cases are related, and has acknowledged that for
`judicial efficiencies, Applied II should proceed before the same district judge as Applied I. Ou
`Declaration at ¶ 2.
