`
`
`Pursuant to the minutes of the Scheduling/Status Conference(s), the parties
`
`submit a brief status report:
`
`The parties have begun the discovery process. Plaintiff has propounded
`
`requests for production and interrogatories on some Defendants. Some Defendants
`
`have also propounded discovery and DSS has served responses. DSS has served
`
`infringement contentions to all Defendants. To facilitate the coordination of
`
`discovery, Defendants Everlight Electronics Co., Ltd. and Everlight Americas, Inc.
`
`(“Everlight”) will invite co-defendants to review Everlight’s discovery to minimize
`
`duplication, and Everlight is also asking DSS to provide DSS’s discovery responses
`
`to all Defendants, regardless of the party that served the request(s). All Defendants
`
`have been served with a summons and complaint, except for Lite-On Technology
`
`Corporation, OSRAM GmbH, OSRAM Opto Semiconductors GmbH & Co. and
`
`OSRAM Licht AG. DSS is proceeding under The Hague Convention to serve these
`
`foreign entities.
`
`Defendants Seoul Semiconductor Co., Ltd. and Seoul Semiconductor, Inc.
`
`(“Seoul”) recently filed petitions for inter partes review in the Patent Office against
`
`all claims of the three patents—U.S. Patent Nos. 7,524,087 (IPR2018-00522),
`
`7,256,486 (IPR2018-00333), and 6,949,771 (IPR2018-00265)—DSS has asserted
`
`against Seoul. Seoul intends to move for a stay of the litigation pending resolution
`
`of inter partes review. Defendants Everlight Electronics Co., Ltd. and Everlight
`
`Americas, Inc. intend to also file petitions for inter partes review in the Patent Office
`
`against the patents asserted against Everlight. Everlight expects to file petitions
`
`against all claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 7,524,087, 7,256,486, and 6,949,771 before
`
`the end of March, and its petition against U.S. Patent No. 7,919,787 around or before
`
`May of 2018. Everlight also intends to move for a stay of its litigation pending
`
`resolution of inter partes review.
`
`There are currently no other ripe disputes requiring resolution.
