`
`C.A. No. 13-919-JLH
`
`PLAINTIFF’S AMENDED NOTICE OF APPEAL
`
`Plaintiff Arendi S.A.R.L. respectfully submits this amended notice of its appeal to the
`
`United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Plaintiff appeals from the District Court’s
`
`Final Judgment, D.I. 616, entered on February 2, 2024, and all interlocutory orders that gave rise
`
`to that final judgment.1
`
`This amended notice of appeal is timely under Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure
`
`4(a)(1)(A) and 4(a)(4). The District Court entered Judgment Following Verdict, D.I. 545, on May
`
`
`1 Appeal of this judgment includes appeal of the accompanying jury verdict of non-infringement,
`D.I. 530 & 531; the Court’s predicate Claim Construction Order of August 19, 2019, D.I. 144; see
`also D.I. 145 (memorandum opinion regarding claim construction); the Court’s granting of partial
`summary judgment against Arendi, D.I. 393, 394; the Court’s denial of Arendi’s motions regarding
`IPR estoppel, e.g., D.I. 391; D.I. 578 at 4:19-14:11; the Court’s denial in part of remaining portions
`of Arendi’s motion for summary judgment, D.I. 391, 392; the Court’s exclusion of evidence
`concerning infringement by the doctrine of equivalents, D.I. 257; the Court’s exclusion of evidence
`concerning the date of conception of the U.S. Patent No. 7,917,843, D.I. 258; the Court’s denial
`of Arendi’s Motion to Exclude in Part the Expert Reports and Testimony of Edward Fox, D.I. 391,
`392; the Court’s denial in part of Arendi’s Motion to Exclude Portions of Dr. Martin Rinard’s
`Expert Report, D.I. 393, 394; and the Court’s granting of Judgment on the Pleadings with respect
`to U.S. Patent Nos. 7,496,854, 7,921,356 and 8,306,993, D.I. 200, 201; see also D.I. 119 at 111:17-
`119:14. Arendi reserves the right to raise all appropriate issues on appeal.
`The jury’s verdict of invalidity is not a predicate for final judgment in this case, is moot
`and, therefore, is not a subject of this notice of appeal. Google LLC did not assert a counterclaim
`of invalidity and the operative Final Judgment is, therefore, limited to invalidity. See D.I. 615, 616.

`
`10, 2023.2 On June 2, 2023, Arendi timely moved for judgment as a matter of law and, in the
`
`alternative, for a new trial under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 50(b) and 59(a)(1). D.I. 559.
`
`The District Court resolved those motions and entered Final Judgment on February 2, 2024. D.I.
`
`615.
`
`Plaintiff has submitted the required filing fee and respectfully requests the district clerk to
`
`prepare the record on appeal pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 10(a). Plaintiff will
`
`order from the reporter a transcript of such part of the proceedings not already on file as the
`
`appellant considers necessary, as required by Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 10(b)(1)(A).
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`2 Arendi filed a preliminary Notice of Appeal of the Judgment Following Verdict on June 9, 2023.
`Arendi noted therein that its notice would only “become[] effective . . . when the order disposing
`of the last” of its post-trial motions was entered per Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure
`4(a)(4)(B)(i). D.I. 567. Arendi expressly “reserve[d] the right to file an amended notice of appeal”
`following entry of such order. Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(4)(B)(ii).” Id. That preliminary Notice of
`Appeal is now withdrawn and superseded by this Amended Notice of Appeal.
