`
`Pursuant to the Court’s August 19, 2019, Order (ECF No. 146), Plaintiff CyWee Group
`Ltd. (“CyWee Group”) and the parties’ most recent 90-Day Joint Status Report (ECF No. 179),
`Defendants and Third-Party Plaintiffs HTC Corporation and HTC America, Inc., and Third-Party
`Defendant CyWee Motion Group Ltd. respectfully submit the following joint status report:
`The Google IPRs:
`
`On January 9, 2020, the PTAB held the following claims invalid in the two IPR
`
`proceedings filed by Google (the “Google IPRs”):
`
`Asserted Patent
`
`IPR Case No. Original Claims
`Held Invalid
`
`8,441,438
`8,552,978
`
`IPR2018-01258
`IPR2018-01257
`
`1, 3–5
`10, 12
`
`Proposed Contingent
`Amended Claims Held
`Invalid
`20, 21
`19, 20
`
`CyWee appealed the PTAB’s final written decisions in the Google IPRs. On February 8,
`
`2023, the Federal Circuit finally affirmed PTAB’s ruling.
`
`The ZTE IPR:
`
`On February 17, 2021, the PTAB held all challenged claims invalid in an inter partes
`
`review proceeding filed by ZTE and joined by LGE (the “ZTE IPR”):
`
`Asserted Patent
`
`IPR Case No. Original Claims
`Held Invalid
`
`8,441,438
`
`IPR2019-00143
`IPR2019-01203
`
`1, 4, 5, 14–17, 19
`
`Proposed Contingent
`Amended Claims Held
`Invalid
`20-24
`
`CyWee appealed the PTAB’s final written decision in the ZTE IPR on April 8, 2021. On
`
`January 18, 2024, the Federal Circuit finally affirmed PTAB’s ruling.
`
`On May 20, 2024, the parties submitted a Joint Status Report in which the parties agreed
`
`to request a further stay of 30 days so that the parties may discuss and decide how to proceed with
`
`the case and to submit a further status report in 30 days instead of 90 days.

`
`Case 2:17-cv-00932-JLR Document 180 Filed 06/20/24 Page 3 of 4
`
`After careful consideration, CyWee will ask the Court to dismiss the patent infringement
`
`claims invalidated in the IPRs. The IPR proceedings have mooted the proceedings for patent
`
`infringement of the ‘438 and ‘978 patents. CyWee is investigating whether any of the
`
`approximately four dozen patents granted since the case was stayed are infringed by the Defendant.
`
`That analysis should be complete by August 15, 2024.
`
`As to the non-patent claims, CyWee contends that they should not be dismissed because
`
`the IPR results do not impact those claims. CyWee further contends that a new scheduling order
`
`should be entered requiring CyWee to file a motion to amend the complaint on or before August
`
`15, 2024. Defendants oppose CyWee’s attempts to bring new patents or new claims into this
`
`case—rather, any such patents or claims should be litigated in a separate action. After the Court
`
`resolves this issue, the parties request that a new Scheduling Order be entered based upon any
`
`remaining claims and defenses asserted in this action.
`
`Dated: June 20, 2024
