`
`Pursuant to the Court’s August 19, 2019 Order (ECF No. 146), Plaintiff CyWee Group
`Ltd. (“CyWee Group”), Defendants and Third-Party Plaintiffs HTC Corporation and HTC
`America, Inc., and Third-Party Defendant CyWeeMotion Group Ltd. respectfully submit the
`following joint status report:
`As shown in the table below, on January 9, 2020, the PTAB held that the claims subject to
`two IPRs filed by Google (the “Google IPRs”) are invalid:
`Asserted Patent
`IPR Case No.
`8,441,438 (“’438 patent”)
`IPR2018-01258
`8,552,978 (“’978 patent”)
`IPR2018-01257
`
`Claims Held Invalid
`1, 3–5
`10, 12
`
`CyWee appealed the PTAB’s final written decisions in the Google IPRs to the Federal
`Circuit and those appeals (Case Nos. 2020-1565, 2020-1567) are currently pending.
`In the instant case, CyWee asserts infringement of claims 1, 3–5, 14–17, and 19 of the ’438
`patent, and claims 10 and 12 of the ’978 patent. Asserted claims 14–17 and 19 of the ’438 patent
`are not subject to the Google IPRs.
`Those claims are however subject to an IPR filed by ZTE (the “ZTE IPR”), as shown in
`the table below:
`Asserted Patent
`8,441,438
`
`Instituted Claims
`1, 4, 5, 14–17, 19
`
`IPR Case No.
`IPR2019-00143
`
`Unlike the proposed amendments in the Google IPRs, the proposed amendments in the
`ZTE IPR are subject to the PTAB’s pilot program concerning motions to amend, as provided for
`in 84 Fed. Reg. 9,497 (Mar. 15, 2019). On December 5, 2019 the PTAB issued Preliminary
`Guidance on Patent Owner’s Motion to Amend (the “Guidance”). In the Guidance, the PTAB
`preliminarily held that proposed amended claims 20, 21, and 22 (corresponding to original claims
`1, 5, and 14) are valid. On December 20, 2019, CyWee filed a revised motion to amend, proposing
`amendments to claims 20, 21, 22, 23, and 24 (corresponding to original claims 1, 5, 14, 15, and
`19).
`On May 12, 2020, the PTAB issued an order in the ZTE IPR, which adjusted the due date
`
`for it to issue a final written decision from May 17, 2020 to November 12, 2020.
