`
`hereby stipulate and agree, subject to the approval of the Court, as follows:
`1.
`In 2014, Plaintiff filed suit against Mercedes, Subaru, KMA, Nissan,
`Volkswagen/Bentley, BMWNA, and Honda alleging infringement of U.S. Patent No.
`6,775,601 (“the ’601 patent”).
`2.
`In 2014, Plaintiff filed suit against Mercedes, Mazda, Subaru, KMA,
`Nissan, Mitsubishi, Volkswagen/Bentley, BMWNA, and Honda alleging infringement
`of U.S. Patent No. 6,012,007 (“the ’007 patent”)
`3.
`In 2014, Plaintiff filed suit against Mazda, KMA, Nissan, Mitsubishi,
`Volkswagen/Bentley, BMWNA, and Honda alleging infringement of U.S. Patent No.
`5,732,375 (“the ’375 patent”).
`4.
`Plaintiff asserted that certain Defendants infringed claims 8, 9, 10, 11, 13,
`15, and 17 of the ‘601 patent; claims 1 and 7 of the ’375 patent; and claims 1, 8, 9, 17,
`18, 19, 20, 21, and 22 of the ’007 patent (collectively, the “Asserted Claims”).
`5.
`Defendants denied Plaintiff’s claims of infringement and asserted various
`affirmative defenses or counterclaims, including that the Asserted Claims were invalid
`under 35 U.S.C. § 112.
`6.
`On April 17, 2015, the Court issued its claim construction order (Docket
`No. 77) holding, inter alia, that (i) certain terms in claims 8, 15, and 17 of the ’601
`patent are indefinite under 35 U.S.C. § 112, paragraph 2; (ii) certain terms in claims 1,
`17, and 20 of the ’007 patent are indefinite under 35 U.S.C. § 112, paragraph 2; and (iii)
`a term in claim 1 of the ’375 patent is indefinite under 35 U.S.C. § 112, paragraph 2.
`7.
`In light of the Court’s claim construction order, Plaintiff and Defendants
`stipulate to entry of a partial final judgment that the following claims are invalid due to
`indefiniteness under 35 U.S.C. § 112, paragraph 2: (i) claims 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 15, and 17
`of the ‘601 patent; (ii) claims 1 and 7 of the ’375 patent; and (iii) claims 1, 8, 9, 17, 18,
`19, and 20 of the ’007 patent.
`8.
`Plaintiff and Defendants reserve all appellate rights, including, but not
`limited to, the right to appeal the Court’s April 17, 2015 claim construction order to the
