`
`B.
`
`STATEMENT OF JURISDICTION
`This Court has exclusive subject matter jurisdiction over this case under 28 U.S.C.
`
`§§ 1331, 1338, and 1367. Jurisdiction is not disputed except to the extent addressed in the briefing
`
`on Huawei’s Motion for Dismissal of Count IX of the Complaint (FRAND) to the Extent It
`
`Relates to Non-U.S. Patents (Dkt. 145, 160, 171, and 189), which is a subject of Dkt. 214.
`
`C.
`
`NATURE OF ACTION
`This is an action for patent infringement and declaratory judgment of no breach of
`
`FRAND. PanOptis asserts that Huawei infringes claims from U.S. Patent Nos. 7,769,238 (“the
`
`’238 patent”), 6,604,216 (“the ’216 patent”), 8,385,284 (“the ’284 patent”), 8,208,569 (“the ’569
`
`patent”), 8,102,833 (“the ’833 patent”), and 8,437,293 (“the ’293 patent”). PanOptis seeks at least
`
`a reasonable royalty for Huawei’s infringement. PanOptis additionally seeks a declaratory
`
`judgment that it has complied with its contractual commitment to the European
`
`Telecommunications Standards Institute (“ETSI”) arising from its licensing declarations to ETSI,
`
`and any applicable laws, during its negotiations with Huawei concerning a worldwide license to
`
`the standard essential patents in the Optis Wireless and Optis Cellular portfolios. (PanOptis’
`
`declaratory judgment claim is the subject of a Report and Recommendation by Magistrate Judge
`
`Payne that Huawei’s motion to dismiss as to non-U.S. patents be granted. Dkt. 214 at 14-16.)
`
`D.
`
`CONTENTIONS OF THE PARTIES
`PanOptis’ Contentions
`1.
`
`Plaintiffs Optis Wireless Technology, LLC, Optis Cellular Technology, LLC, and
`
`PanOptis Patent Management, LLC (collectively, “PanOptis”) own and have the right to enforce
`
`patents in two relevant portfolios, the Optis Wireless portfolio and the Optis Cellular portfolio.
`
`The Optis Wireless portfolio includes patents from Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson
`
`(“Ericsson”) and Panasonic Corporation (“Panasonic”), and the Optis Cellular portfolio includes

`
`

`

`Case 2:17-cv-00123-JRG-RSP Document 233 Filed 07/26/18 Page 6 of 25 PageID #: 13484
`
`patents from Ericsson and LG Electronics Inc. (“LG”). The relevant portfolios include numerous
`
`patents essential to the 2G, 3G, and 4G telecommunications standards promulgated by ETSI
`
`(“standard essential patents”). Ericsson, Panasonic, LG, and PanOptis have committed to license
`
`the standard essential patents on fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory (“FRAND”) terms and
`
`conditions, a contractual commitment formed through declarations to ETSI. PanOptis and
`
`Huawei began negotiations over the two relevant portfolios nearly four years ago. Huawei has
`
`acknowledged that it requires a license to PanOptis’ standard essential patents but contends that
`
`the royalty rate offered by PanOptis is too high, such that PanOptis’ offers are in breach of its
`
`contractual FRAND commitment to ETSI. PanOptis contends that it has complied with its
`
`FRAND obligations and has offered Huawei a FRAND license to its standard essential patents.
`
`In this case, PanOptis asserts claims from 6 patents from its portfolios against Huawei.
`
`Specifically, PanOptis contends that Huawei infringes the following asserted claims from the
`
`patents-in-suit:
`
` Claim 1 of the ’238 patent;
`
` Claims 1, 3, 11, 12, 20 of the ’216 patent;
`
` Claims 1, 4, and 11 of the ’284 patent; and
`
` Claims 11, 16, and 17 of the ’569 patent;
`
` Claims 8 and 13 of the ’833 patent;
`
` Claims 14, 20, 21, and 22 of the ’293 patent.
`
`The ’216, ’284, ’569, ’833, and ’293 patents have been declared essential by their owners
`
`to the LTE standard, and PanOptis contends that these patents, and additional patents from its
`
`portfolio, are actually essential to the LTE standard. The ’238 patent has not been declared
`
`essential to any standard. PanOptis seeks at least a reasonable royalty from Huawei for its
`
`infringement of these six patents. PanOptis also contends that Huawei’s infringement in this case

`

`

`Case 2:17-cv-00123-JRG-RSP Document 233 Filed 07/26/18 Page 7 of 25 PageID #: 13485
`
`is willful, warranting enhanced damages under 35 U.S.C. § 284 and attorneys’ fees under 35
`
`U.S.C. § 285. PanOptis also contends that each of Huawei’s asserted defenses and counterclaims
`
`lack merit.
`
`PanOptis further contends that it has complied with its contractual commitments to ETSI.
`
`PanOptis contends that it is entitled to a declaratory judgment that it has complied with its
`
`obligations arising from its licensing declarations to ETSI, ETSI’s IPR Policy, and any
`
`applicable laws during its negotiations with Huawei concerning a worldwide license to the
`
`standard essential patents in the Optis Wireless and Optis Cellular portfolios. PanOptis contends
`
`that its most recent offer to Huawei complies with its obligations to ETSI, and if executed, would
`
`result in a license on FRAND terms and conditions.
`
`PanOptis contends that Huawei should pay reasonable royalty damages to compensate
`
`PanOptis for its infringement, as well as enhanced damages and attorneys’ fees. PanOptis further
`
`contends that it is entitled to declaratory judgment that it has complied with its FRAND
`
`obligations.
`
`2.
`
`Huawei’s Contentions
`
`Huawei denies that its accused products literally infringe any of the asserted claims of
`
`the asserted claims of the patents-in-suit. Huawei further denies that its accused products infringe
`
`any of the asserted claims of the patents-in-suit under the doctrine of equivalents. Finally,
`
`Huawei denies that it has contributorily infringed the patents-in-suit, and Huawei denies that it
`
`has induced infringement of the patents-in-suit. Huawei denies that the patents-in-suit, as well as
`
`additional patents from PanOptis’ portfolio, are essential to the LTE standards.
`
`Huawei disputes and opposes PanOptis’ claims for reasonable royalty damages,
`
`enhanced damages, and attorneys’ fees. PanOptis’ claim for attorneys’ fees pursuant to 35

`Case 2:17-cv-00123-JRG-RSP Document 233 Filed 07/26/18 Page 8 of 25 PageID #: 13486
`
`U.S.C. § 285 lacks merit. Huawei contends that PanOptis’ purported claims for relief are limited
`
`due to failure to comply with the marking and notice requirements of 35 U.S.C. § 287(a).
`
`Huawei contends that the asserted patents are invalid. Specifically, Huawei contends
`
`that the asserted claims of the patents-in-suit are invalid for being anticipated or obvious in view
`
`of the prior art under 35 U.S.C. §§ 102 and/or 103. Huawei further contends that certain claims
`
`of the ’293 patent are invalid under 35 U.S.C. § 101.
`
`Huawei disputes that PanOptis has complied with its FRAND obligations or that it has
`
`offered Huawei a FRAND license to its declared standard-essential patents. Huawei disputes that
`
`PanOptis has complied with its contractual commitments to ETSI and does not believe that
`
`PanOptis is entitled to a declaratory judgment1 that it has complied with its obligations arising
`
`from its licensing declarations to ETSI, ETSI’s IPR Policy, or any applicable laws during its
`
`negotiations with Huawei concerning a worldwide license under the PanOptis declared standard-
`
`essential patents. Huawei does not agree that PanOptis’ most recent offer to Huawei complies
`
`with PanOptis’ obligations to ETSI, and if executed, would result in a license on FRAND terms
`
`and conditions.
`
`Huawei contends that PanOptis in its complaint alleged that Huawei’s LTE products
`
`infringed U.S. Patent 7,940,851 (the ’851 patent) and alleged that the ’851 patent was declared to
`
`be essential to the LTE Standard. Huawei contends that PanOptis now no longer asserts the ’851
`
`patent in this case.
`
`Huawei Trial Phasing Proposal re Count IX and Related Defenses:
`
`                                                            
`1 Any such declaration, if granted, would cover at most PanOptis’ U.S. declared standards-
`essential patent portfolio. A Report and Recommendation by Magistrate Judge Payne
`recommends that Huawei’s motion to dismiss as to PanOptis’ non-U.S. declared standards-
`essential patents be granted. Dkt. 214 at 14-16.

`

`Case 2:17-cv-00123-JRG-RSP Document 233 Filed 07/26/18 Page 9 of 25 PageID #: 13487
`
`Huawei contends that the FRAND compliance issue (Count IX of the Complaint and
`
`related defenses) should be decided by the Court and not the jury, and that such decision should
`
`come after the jury trial. Huawei believes that a separate live evidentiary hearing is not necessary
`
`for the FRAND-related claims and defenses and that the parties should instead submit their cases
`
`via briefing and written evidence and via an oral argument, pursuant to the following schedule:

`2 For the reasons stated in PanOptis’ pending motion to strike Zhang’s Declaration (Dkts. 188,
`212), PanOptis objects to the testimony of Xiaowu Zhang to the extent the testimony was not
`timely disclosed in either fact or expert discovery. Huawei opposes PanOptis’ objection on the
