`
`
`
`IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
`FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA
`ALEXANDRIA DIVISION
`
`PHILIP MORRIS PRODUCTS S.A.,
`
` Plaintiff,
`
`
`
`v.
`
`R.J. REYNOLDS VAPOR COMPANY,
`
` Defendant.
`
`Case No. 1:20-cv-00393-LMB-TCB
`
`
`ORDER APPROVING JOINT STIPULATION FOR STAY OF EXECUTION ON
`JUDGMENT OF PLAINTIFF PHILIP MORRIS PRODUCTS S.A.’S CLAIMS IN LIEU
`OF SUPERSEDEAS BOND PURSUANT TO LOCAL RULE 62(B)
`
`Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 62 and Local Rule 62(B), Plaintiff Philip
`
`Morris Products, S.A. (“Philip Morris”) and Defendant R.J. Reynolds Vapor Company
`
`(“Reynolds”) submit this agreed order for approval of the parties’ joint stipulation regarding a stay
`
`of execution in lieu of a supersedeas or appeal bond. See L.R. 62(B) (providing that “[i]n lieu of
`
`any appeal bond, the parties may stipulate with respect to any agreement or undertaking,” and
`
`requiring that “[a]ll such stipulations must be approved by the Court and filed in the record.”). In
`
`support, the parties recite and stipulate as follows:
`
`WHEREAS the Court entered Judgment on June 15, 2022 in favor of Philip Morris on
`
`Philip Morris’ claims for infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 10,104,911 and 9,814,265, including
`
`an award of compensatory damages (Dkt. 1362) (the “Judgment”);
`
`WHEREAS execution on the Judgment is presently stayed pursuant to Federal Rule of
`
`Civil Procedure 62(a);
`
`WHEREAS Reynolds and Philip Morris have stipulated to prejudgment interest, post-
`
`judgment interest, and supplemental damages (Dkt. 1373), and interest on such amounts and the
`
`
`
`

`

`Case 1:20-cv-00393-LMB-TCB Document 1383 Filed 07/07/22 Page 2 of 5 PageID# 34422
`
`
`amount of the Judgment are accruing and will continue to accrue during any stay of execution on
`
`and any proceedings to enforce the Judgment;
`
`WHEREAS the parties agree that a stay of execution on and proceedings to enforce the
`
`Judgment (including payment of costs, accruing ongoing royalties, and interest which has accrued
`
`and shall continue to accrue) pending resolution of any post-Judgment motions and appeal is
`
`appropriate; and
`
`WHEREAS, in the interest of avoiding unnecessary expense, the parties have agreed to
`
`dispense with the requirement that Reynolds provide a supersedeas bond or other security in order
`
`to stay execution on and proceedings to enforce the Judgment,
`
`NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby stipulate and agree as follows:
`
`1.
`
`Reynolds shall not be required to provide a supersedeas bond or other security as a
`
`condition of staying execution on the Judgment or proceedings to enforce it pending the Court’s
`
`resolution of all post-Judgment motions filed and any appeal taken by either party.
`
`2.
`
`Philip Morris shall not make any attempt or effort to execute on or enforce the
`
`Judgment—or payment of any ongoing royalties, costs, or interest that has accrued or continues to
`
`accrue thereon—before 14 days after the final termination of all appeals in this case, including
`
`proceedings in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit or the expiration of time to file a
`
`petition to the United States Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari.
`
`3.
`
`Philip Morris is entering into this Stipulation in the interest of avoiding unnecessary
`
`burden and expense. Nothing in this stipulation stays the accounting of damages for the period of
`
`January 1, 2022 to June 15, 2022 (see Dkt. 1373 at 1-2; FED. R. CIV. P. 62(c)(1)) or shall be used
`
`against Philip Morris in connection with its request for permanent injunctive relief or, alternatively,
`
`an ongoing royalty to compensate Philip Morris for any future infringement.
