`
`Plaintiff Bell Northern Research, LLC (“BNR”) and Defendants LG
`
`Electronics Inc., LG Electronics U.S.A., Inc., and LG Electronics Mobile
`
`Research U.S.A., LLC (collectively “LG”) hereby present this joint motion
`
`related to the Court’s previous Markman ruling addressing terms from U.S.
`
`Patent Nos. 7,039,435; 7,957,450 and 8,416,862 (collectively the “commonly
`
`asserted patents”).
`
`Several of the claims from the commonly asserted patents in this case
`
`overlap with claims from these patents that are in dispute in Bell Northern
`
`Research, LLC v. Coolpad Technologies, Inc., No. 18-CV-1783-CAB-BLM
`
`(SD Cal.), Bell Northern Research, LLC v. Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., No.
`
`18-CV-1784-CAB-BLM (SD Cal.), and Bell Northern Research, LLC v. ZTE
`
`Corporation, No. 18-CV-1786-CAB-BLM (SD Cal.) (collectively “the
`
`Consolidated Cases”). In view of this overlap, and given the fact that this
`
`Court has already considered the claim construction arguments in the
`
`Consolidated Cases and issued a prior claim construction ruling in its Claim
`
`Construction Order and Order on Motions for Summary Judgment in the
`
`Consolidated Cases (No. 18-CV-1784-CAB-BLM, Dkt. No. 94), the parties
`
`have reached an agreement that will simplify both the parties’ claim
`
`construction efforts and the Court’s review and analysis of the parties’ claim
`
`construction disputes, particularly where the current parties may have
`
`identified previously addressed terms for the purpose of preserving arguments
`
`for appeal.
`
`Specifically, as outlined below, the parties seek to preserve judicial
`
`resources by capitalizing on the Court’s prior efforts in the Consolidated Cases
`
`and its resulting Claim Construction Order and Order on Motions for
`
`Summary Judgment (No. 18-CV-1784-CAB-BLM, Dkt. No. 94) while, at the
`
`same time, preserving the parties’ appellate rights with respect to the claim

`
`
`
`terms based on the arguments previously considered by the Court in the
`
`Consolidated Cases. Although the parties believe that the proposal below will
`
`genuinely conserve the resources of the Court and the parties, to the extent that
`
`the parties have inadvertently overlooked any issues, the parties agree to work
`
`in good faith to address these issues in a way that minimizes any burdens on
`
`the Court.
`
`Pursuant to this agreement, and in the interest of judicial economy, the
`
`parties respectfully request that the Court incorporate by reference the claim
`
`construction proceedings in the Consolidated Cases, including briefing and
`
`related exhibits, the hearing transcripts, and the Claim Construction Order and
`
`Order on Motions for Summary Judgment in the Consolidated Cases (No. 18-
`
`CV-1784-CAB-BLM, Dkt. No. 94) as to U.S. Patent Nos. 7,039,435;
`
`7,957,450; and 8,416,862 into the record of this Action, for purposes of the
`
`remaining proceedings in this Action and preserving the parties’ respective
`
`rights on appeal. Specifically, the parties request that at least the following
`
`documents on file with the Court, as identified by PACER Docket Reports, be
`
`incorporated into this Action, as they relate to the patents identified above:
`
` Bell Northern Research, LLC v. Coolpad Technologies, Inc., No.
`
`18-CV-1783-CAB-BLM (SD Cal.), Dkt. Nos. 63, 64, 68, 69, 70,
`
`71, 72, 73, 74, 79, 80, and 84.
`
` Bell Northern Research, LLC v. Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.,
`
`No. 18-CV-1784-CAB-BLM (SD Cal.), Dkt. Nos. 58, 60, 64, 65,
`
`66, 67, 68, 70, 71, 72, 75, 76, and 94.
`
` Bell Northern Research, LLC v. ZTE Corporation, No. 18-CV-
`
`1786-CAB-BLM (SD Cal.), Dkt. Nos. 79, 81, 86, 87, 88, 95, 97,
`
`98, 99, 104, 105, and 109.

`
`
`
`PACER Docket Reports dated October 8, 2019, identifying these documents,
`
`are enclosed with this joint motion as Exhibits A, B, and C, respectively. The
`
`parties request that the Court deem these documents and any accompanying
`
`exhibits or attachments to be part of this Action’s claim construction record for
`
`purposes of the remaining proceedings in this Action and preserving the parties’
`
`appellate rights. In the event of any appeal, the parties stipulate to include copies
`
`of these documents and any accompanying exhibits or attachments in the appellate
`
`record.
`
`The parties stipulate and hereby respectfully request an order that,
`
`notwithstanding the status of the Consolidated Cases, the parties in this Action
`
`retain the right to appeal any ruling on the claim terms identified in the Claim
`
`Construction Order and Order on Motions for Summary Judgment in the
`
`Consolidated Cases (No. 18-CV-1784-CAB-BLM, Dkt. No. 94) in their case, and
`
`the parties can rely on the record established in the Consolidated Cases.
`
`In view of the order sought by this pending motion, the parties will not
`
`provide additional arguments in their claim construction briefing or at the Markman
`
`hearing regarding the terms that the Court construed in its Claim Construction
`
`Order and Order on Motions for Summary Judgment in the Consolidated Cases
`
`(No. 18-CV-1784-CAB-BLM, Dkt. No. 94).
