`
`DEFENDANTS’ RESPONSE TO PLAINTIFF’S
`NOTICE OF SUBSEQUENT AUTHORITY
`
`On February 11, Plaintiff Arendi S.A.R.L. (“Arendi”) filed a Notice of Subsequent
`
`Authority (Motorola D.I. 380; Google D.I. 387), in which it submitted to the Court the Federal
`
`Circuit’s opinion in California Institute of Technology v. Broadcom Ltd., No. 2020-2222 (Fed. Cir.
`
`Feb 4, 2022). Arendi highlighted that, “[T]he Federal Circuit ‘overrule[d] Shaw [Industries Group
`
`Inc. v. Automated Creel Systems, Inc., 817 F.3d 1293 (Fed. Cir. 2016) in light of SAS Institute, Inc.
`
`v. Iancu, 138 S. Ct. 1348 (2018)] and clarif[ied] that estoppel applies not just to claims and grounds
`
`asserted in the petition and instituted for consideration by the Board, but to all claims and grounds
`
`not in the IPR but which reasonably could have been included in the petition.’” (Motorola D.I.
`
`380; Google D.I. 387 at 1 (quoting California Institute of Technology, Slip Op. at 23).)
`
`
`
`Case 1:13-cv-00919-LPS Document 388 Filed 02/14/22 Page 2 of 3 PageID #: 46992
`
`The California Institute of Technology v. Broadcom Ltd. opinion is not relevant to the
`
`issues in the captioned cases, however, because (1) the opinion dealt only with printed prior art
`
`potentially subject to IPR estoppel, not system art of the type at issue in these matters, and (2) the
`
`opinion explicitly recognized that it was not addressing the situation involved in these cases, where
`
`the relevant IPR proceedings were fully completed prior to the SAS decision, and where the IPR
`
`proceedings were instituted on only some of the grounds raised in the IPR petitions. In fact,
`
`footnote 5 of the California Institute of Technology opinion explicitly states: “In this case, SAS
`
`was decided while IPR proceedings remained pending before the Board. Accordingly, we need not
`
`decide the scope of preclusion in cases in which the Board declined to institute on all grounds and
`
`issued its final written decision pre-SAS.” California Institute of Technology, Slip Op. at 23-24.
`
`Arendi’s Notice of Supplemental Authority is thus irrelevant to the issues presented by
`
`Arendi’s pending Motions for Partial Summary Judgment (Motorola D.I. 277; Google D.I. 281).
