`Re: Network-1 Technologies, Inc. v. Google LLC, et al., Nos. 1:14-cv-2396-
`PGG-SN & 1:14-cv-9558-PGG-SN
`
`
`Dear Judge Gardephe:
`
`In response to the Court’s Order of June 29, 2020 (Dkt. No. 219), Plaintiff Network-1
`
`Technologies, Inc. and Defendants Google LLC and YouTube, LLC hereby submit their agreed-
`upon briefing schedule for summary judgment.1
`
`Pursuant to Rule IV.B of the Court’s Individual Rules of Practice, Defendants respectfully
`
`request that the Court expand the page limits available to the parties as reflected in the chart below.
`To the extent that any party intends to bring multiple summary judgment motions, subject to the
`Court’s approval of these page limits, that party will complete briefing on all such motions in a
`single brief within the page limits set forth below. Defendants believe that additional pages are
`necessary in light of the number and complexity of issues presented in these two cases involving
`three asserted patents. Plaintiff does not oppose this request for additional pages, provided that it
`applies to both parties.

`1 All citations to the docket refer to docket entries in Case No. 1:14-cv-2396-PGG-SN. The parties
`interpret the Court’s Order of June 29, 2020 as obviating the need to file pre-motion letters and
`request a pre-motion conference pursuant to Rule IV.A of the Court’s Individual Rules of Practice.
`If the Court wishes to set a pre-motion conference before the briefing and submission of motions
`for summary judgment, the parties can be available at the Court’s convenience.

`
`The parties understand that motions to exclude or strike expert opinions, testimony, or
`
`portions thereof, including Daubert motions, will be submitted 30 days after the issuance of the
`summary judgment order in conjunction with the parties’ motions in limine pursuant to Rule X.D.1
`of the Court’s Individual Rules of Practice. If the Court wishes that these motions be submitted
`on a different timeframe, the parties welcome guidance on this issue.
`
`Finally, for purposes of the above briefing schedule and page limits, Defendants have
`
`assumed that there will be no further briefing regarding the alleged indefiniteness of the claim
`terms “non-exhaustive search” and “correlation information.” Although Defendants will formally
`move for summary judgment on the ground that claims containing either of these terms are invalid
`for indefiniteness for the reasons stated in their claim construction papers, Defendants do not
`intend to re-brief this issue or address it in their Rule 56.1 Statement absent further instruction
`from the Court, and will instead devote their summary judgment briefs to matters that have not
`previously been submitted. See Dkt. No. 218 (describing the parties’ agreement that the matter
`may be submitted on the current record, including the briefs at Dkt. Nos. 148, 151, 152, 153, 158,
`163, and 164; the claim construction hearing; the demonstrative slides presented at the hearing;
`and the post-hearing letter briefs at Dkt. Nos. 201 and 202). If the Court would prefer a different
`approach, Defendants respectfully request that the Court inform the parties of its preferred
`approach so that the parties can consider revising the proposed schedule for and length of summary
`judgment briefs.
