`
`
`TO THE HONORABLE COURT, ALL PARTIES, AND THEIR
`COUNSEL OF RECORD HEREIN:
`PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that on Friday, December 6, 2019 at 10:00 a.m.,
`or as soon thereafter as this matter may be heard, in Courtroom 7B of the above-
`captioned court, located at 350 W. First Street, Los Angeles, California 90012,
`before the Honorable André Birotte Jr., Defendant/Counter-Claimant Guest-Tek
`Interactive Entertainment Ltd. (“Guest-Tek”) will, and hereby does, move for leave
`to exceed the 25-page limit on its memorandum in support of Guest-Tek’s
`contemplated motion for summary judgment.1 Specifically, Guest-Tek seeks leave
`to file a 50-page omnibus memorandum in support of a combined motion for
`summary judgment of (i) no patent coverage by the asserted claims (16 in total) of
`four of the six asserted patents, (ii) invalidity of the two asserted claims of one of
`those patents, and (iii) no breach of contract by reason of alleged underpayment of
`royalties on the non-OVI instrumentalities for which Nomadix’s technical expert did
`not provide a claim coverage report.
`This Motion is based on this Notice of Motion; the accompanying
`Memorandum of Points and Authorities; the declaration of Kevin M. Bovard,
`including the exhibits attached thereto; the pleadings and papers filed in this action;
`and any other arguments, evidence, and matters submitted to the Court at the hearing
`or otherwise. Guest-Tek will also lodge a proposed order for the Court’s
`consideration.
`
`On November 4, 2019, Guest-Tek’s counsel met and conferred with counsel
`for Plaintiff Nomadix, Inc. (“Nomadix”) about this motion. During the conference,
`Nomadix’s counsel stated that it would not agree to this motion.
`
`
`
`1 Under the scheduling order, summary judgment motions must be heard by January
`10, 2020, and thus filed by December 6, 2019. (D.I. 342 at 3.)

`
`
`MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES
`Good cause exists for Guest-Tek to file a 50-page omnibus memorandum in
`support of its contemplated motion for summary judgment. A memorandum of
`points and authorities may “exceed 25 pages in length” when “permitted by order of
`the judge.” L.R. 11-6. And under this Court’s standing order, summary judgment
`briefs may exceed 25 pages for good cause. (D.I. 11 at 4) (accord
`https://www.cacd.uscourts.gov/honorable-andré-birotte-jr (last visited Nov. 6,
`2019)). Guest-Tek contemplates moving for summary judgment of no patent
`coverage by the asserted claims (16 in total) of four of the six asserted patents, (ii)
`invalidity of the two asserted claims of one of those patents, and (iii) no breach of
`contract by reason of alleged underpayment of royalties on the non-OVI
`instrumentalities for which Nomadix’s technical expert did not provide a claim
`coverage report.
`
`This Court recently granted leave to file a 50-page memorandum in a similarly
`complex case. See Twin Rivers Eng’g, Inc. v. Fieldpiece Instruments, Inc., No. 2:16-
`cv-04502 MLH (MRW). In Twin Rivers, the plaintiff moved for leave to file a 50-
`page memorandum in support of its motions for partial summary judgment of
`liability under both the Lanham Act and the Sherman Act. Id., D.I. 281-1 at 2
`(attached as Ex. A to Bovard Decl.). The memorandum would cover “complex issues
`of patent law, unfair competition law, and antitrust law.” Id. The Court granted the
`plaintiff’s motion and allowed the parties to file 50-page summary judgment
`memoranda. Id., D.I. 282 (attached as Ex. B to Bovard Decl.), D.I. 284 (attached as
`Ex. C to Bovard Decl.).
`
`Likewise, the Southern District of California granted the defendants leave to
`file a 60-page “omnibus brief” in support of all their motions for judgment on the
`pleadings or motions for summary judgment. Zest IP Holdings, LLC v. Implant
`Direct Mfg. LLC, No. 10-cv-0541-GPC-WVG, D.I. 462 (S.D. Cal. Aug. 14, 2014)
`(attached as Ex. D to Bovard Decl.). The “multiple and complex” patent and

`
`
`trademark issues at stake merited additional briefing. Id. at 3.
`
`The issues are even more numerous and complex here. Nomadix has asserted
`infringement of six patents (and 20 patent claims), whereas the average infringement
`action involves about two patents. Patexia Insight 24: Number of Unique Patent
`Assertions Drops Year-Over-Year, https://www.patexia.com/feed/weekly-chart-24-
`number-of-unique-patent-assertions-down-year-over-year-20170117 (last visited
`Nov. 6, 2019). Guest-Tek intends to show that uncontested material facts
`demonstrate that the asserted claims of four of the six asserted patents2 (there being
`16 such claims) do not cover the accused Guest-Tek OVI instrumentalities, and that
`the asserted claims of one of those patents are invalid. The claims addressed by this
`portion of the motion alone account for more than 50% of Nomadix’s damages
`claim, and thus this portion of the motion has the potential to substantially simplify
`the trial of this action and/or to foster settlement. Guest-Tek also intends to move for
`summary judgment of no breach of contract as to the non-OVI instrumentalities,
`which Judge Mumm has recommended be stricken from the case.
`To prove no patent coverage, Guest-Tek will unequivocally demonstrate that
`that the OVI instrumentalities do not practice at least one element of the 16 asserted
`claims of the Bandwidth Management, Authentication and Property Management
`patents. See SkinMedica, Inc. v. Histogen Inc., 830 F. Supp. 2d 986, 996 (S.D. Cal.
`2011). To prove invalidity, Guest-Tek will demonstrate that the asserted claims of
`one of the patents-in-suit are anticipated by prior art, which “render[s] each
`individual claim” invalid. HID Global Corp. v. Farpointe Data, Inc., No. 10-1954,
`2012 WL 13018341, at *24 (C.D. Cal. Apr. 13, 2012). And in briefing the no patent
`coverage, invalidity, and no breach of contract issues, Guest-Tek will likely address
`or rely on expert and fact witness testimony. These issues, which cover multiple
`patents, claims, and evidence, cannot be thoroughly briefed in only 25 pages.
`
`
`2 The parties refer to these four patents as the “Bandwidth Management” patents, the
`“Authentication” patents, and the “Property Management System” patents.

`
`For all these reasons, the Court should grant Guest-Tek leave to file a 50-page
`
`omnibus memorandum in support of its contemplated motion for summary judgment
`of no patent coverage as to the OVI instrumentalities, patent invalidity, and no
`breach of contract as to the non-OVI instrumentalities.
