`SUPPLEMENTAL JOINT INTERIM STATUS
`NOTICE REGARDING INTER PARTES REVIEWS
`
`
`
`On April 15, 2015, the parties to this action (and the seventeen related actions by
`
`plaintiff) filed a Joint Interim Status Notice to provide the Court with updated information on the
`
`inter partes reviews initiated during 2014, consistent with the Order Granting Motions to Stay
`
`entered on December 6, 2013.1 In that April notice, the parties reported that the Patent Trial and
`
`Appeal Board (“PTAB”) of the United States Patent and Trademark Office had entered written
`
`1 / The Order Granting Motions to Stay bears differing ECF Numbers among the eighteen
`related cases. It is ECF No. 71 in the first listed case, B.E. Technology, LLC v. Amazon Digital
`Services, Inc., No. 2:12-cv-02767-JPM-tmp. The inter partes review proceedings are identified
`by IPR Number, Patent, Claims, and Filer in notices previously filed with the Court, one
`counterpart of which is ECF No. 75 in the Amazon case. A counterpart of the April 15, 2015
`joint notice is ECF No. 78 in the Amazon case.

`
`Case 2:12-cv-02783-JPM-tmp Document 65 Filed 06/22/15 Page 6 of 8 PageID 608
`
`decisions in those proceedings, finding that every claim of U.S. Patent Numbers 6,771,290 and
`
`6,628,314 asserted against any of the eighteen defendants in these actions is unpatentable. The
`
`parties committed to keep the Court informed of material developments in the PTAB
`
`proceedings, and suggested in substance that the existing stay Orders remain in effect pending
`
`plaintiff’s determination of whether to appeal one or more of the PTAB decisions.
`
`
`
`Since that joint notice, plaintiff has in fact commenced appeals of the PTAB decisions in
`
`all eleven of the inter parties review proceedings. In view of this development, and to continue
`
`achievement of the purposes of the stay Orders, the parties request that the stays in this and the
`
`corresponding actions remain in effect until the conclusion of such appeals. The parties continue
`
`their commitment to apprise the Court promptly of developments that logically would warrant
`
`consideration of dissolving or modifying the stays or a resumed case schedule.
