`
`
`JOINT STATUS REPORT
`
`In accordance with the Court’s instruction at the July 29, 2021 hearing, the parties
`
`conferred regarding which motions are mooted and which motions still require judicial resolution
`
`in view of the expected settlement in Arendi S.A.R.L. v. Apple Inc., C.A. No. 12-1596-LPS (“the
`
`Apple Lawsuit”). In short, the parties believe judicial resolution is still required for (1) any
`
`motions jointly filed by Apple and one or more of the other defendants (e.g., the Daubert motions
`
`2
`
`
`
`Case 1:13-cv-00920-LPS Document 320 Filed 08/03/21 Page 3 of 7 PageID #: 14035
`
`
`
`directed to Weinstein and Marais); and (2) any motion filed by another defendant even though it
`
`may raise issues that overlap with issues in a motion filed by Apple. The remaining defendants
`
`request that the Court consider argument presented by Apple’s counsel in resolving the defendants’
`
`motions for summary judgment of non-infringement.
`
`On the other hand, a motion filed by Plaintiff Arendi S.A.R.L. (“Arendi”) only against
`
`Apple and a motion filed by Apple that was not joined by other defendants no longer requires
`
`judicial resolution.
`
`Below, the parties identify the motions filed in the Apple action, whether those motions
`
`are mooted or the other actions in which the same motion is pending.
