`VISA U.S.A. INC.,
`
`
`
`
`
`
`JOINT MOTION FOR ENTRY OF DISPUTED SCHEDULING ORDER
`
`Plaintiff RFCyber Corp. and Defendant Visa U.S.A. Inc. (collectively “Parties”) file this
`
`Joint Motion for Entry of Disputed Scheduling Order.
`
`RFCyber’s Position
`
`RFCyber respectfully requests that the Court enter its default Scheduling Order calculated
`
`per Appendix A to the OGP, attached hereto as Exhibit 1. RFCyber’s proposal reflects a case
`
`management conference date deemed to occur on May 15, 2023, based on the filing of the case
`
`readiness status report, and includes a courtesy extension to the date for Visa’s invalidity
`
`contentions from July 3, 2023 to July 21, 2023.
`
`RFCyber maintains that the Court’s default order is appropriate for this action. RFCyber
`
`understands that Visa does not oppose the substance of the schedule but opposes entry of any
`
`scheduling order until its Motion to Stay Pending Inter Partes Review has been decided. But it is
`
`Visa’s burden to show that it is entitled to a stay (it fails to do so), not RFCyber’s burden to show
`
`that the case should proceed as a threshold matter. Visa’s request amounts to a preemptive stay of
`
`litigation, which would be both premature and highly prejudicial to RFCyber. Moreover, Visa
`
`
`
`Case 6:22-cv-00697-ADA Document 26 Filed 06/16/23 Page 2 of 3
`
`cannot even show that it is likely to prevail on its motion to stay – two of the four patents asserted
`
`in this action are not subject to any requested or instituted petitions for inter partes review.
`
`RFCyber respectfully submits that this action should proceed under the Court’s default
`
`schedule, attached hereto as Exhibit 1.
`
`Visa’s Position
`
`The Court should delay entering a scheduling order given that in less than six weeks, the
`
`PTAB is expected to issue final written decisions which will determine the validity of two patents
`
`asserted in this action and inform claim construction and arguments the parties may make on two
`
`other related patents. As outlined in Visa’s Motion to Stay pending Inter Partes Review (Dkt. 22),
`
`RFCyber will not suffer any prejudice from this very modest delay of several weeks, whereas
`
`moving forward with a scheduling order at this time would prove wasteful of both the parties’ and
`
`the Court’s time and resources. The parties can and should avoid potentially unnecessary,
`
`inconsistent, and duplicative invalidity contentions and claim construction mere days before the
`
`PTAB is expected to issue a decision.
`
`RFCyber has not presented any reason it cannot wait a mere six weeks to allow the parties
`
`and the Court to benefit from the simplification of issues and claim construction analysis expected
`
`from the IPR Proceedings. Visa respectfully requests that entry of a scheduling order be deferred
`
`until a decision on Visa’s Motion to Stay, or a decision in the pending IPR Proceedings, expected
`
`in July 2023.
