`Case 2:19-cv-06301-AB-KS Document 165 Filed 08/30/22 Page 2 of 4 Page ID #:7515
`
`
`Plaintiff Philips North America LLC (“Philips”) and Defendants Garmin International,
`Inc. and Garmin Ltd. (collectively “Garmin”) hereby jointly stipulate and respectfully request
`that the Court enter an order on case management, and enter Final Judgment, as set forth below
`and in the attached proposed order.
`Philips filed this case on July 22, 2019. (Dkt. 1.) Philips’s operative Second Amended
`Complaint asserts patent infringement claims as to U.S. Patent No. 6,013,007 (“the ’007
`patent”), U.S. Patent No. 7,088,233 (“the ’233 patent”); U.S. Patent No. 8,277,377 (“the ’377
`patent”) and U.S. Patent No. 9,801,542 (“the ’542 patent”) (collectively “Patents-in-Suit”). (Dkt.
`126.)
`
`Garmin asserts various defenses to Philips’s claims, along with Counterclaims for
`invalidity of all of the Patents-in-Suit. (Dkt. 128.)
` As to the ’007 Patent, the Court’s August 28, 2020 Claim Construction Order (Dkt. 102)
`found the asserted claims of that patent invalid for indefiniteness. Philips moved under Rule
`54(b) for entry of an appealable order on the ’007 Patent. (Dkt. 110.) Garmin opposed. (Dkt.
`113.) The Court denied the motion, ordering that the ’007 Patent should remain part of the same
`case as the rest of the Patents-in-Suit. (Dkt. 118).
`As to the ’233 Patent, the Court initially stayed all litigation pending an Inter Partes
`Review proceeding. (Dkt. 125.) Subsequently, in view of the appeal of the IPR decision, the
`Court entered an order staying adjudication of the ’233 Patent, while proceeding with litigation
`as to the ’377 Patent and ’542 Patent. (Dkt. 133.) The appeal of the ’233 Patent IPR remains
`pending as of the time of this writing, and is expected to take a year or more to resolve.
`Summary judgment motions followed as to the ’377 Patent and ’542 Patent.
`As to the ’542 Patent, the Court granted summary judgment that the ’542 Patent is invalid,
`while denying summary judgment as to non-infringement. (Dkt. 164.)
`As to the ’377 Patent, the Court granted summary judgment of non-infringement, but
`denied summary judgment of invalidity. (Dkt. 164.)
`In sum, there are two items that remain unresolved that preclude entry of a final judgment
`in this action: (a) the ’233 Patent claims, which are currently stayed and are likely to remain so

`
`
`for a year or more, and (b) Garmin’s Counterclaims for invalidity of the ’377 Patent.
`The Parties have conferred and now jointly and respectfully request as follows:
`(1) That the Court sever the ’233 Patent claims and allow them to remain stayed for the
`time being.
`(2) That the Court enter a dismissal without prejudice of Garmin’s Counterclaims for
`Invalidity of the ’377 Patent. See Nystrom v. Trex Co., Inc., 339 F.3d 1347, 1350-51
`(Fed. Cir. 2003) (explaining that where an invalidity counterclaim remains after entry
`of summary judgment of non-infringement, the district court may dismiss the
`invalidity counterclaims without prejudice).
`(3) That the Court enter an appealable Final Judgment as to the ’007 Patent, the ’377
`Patent, and the ’542 Patent.
`(4) That the Court maintain a stay on all further proceedings until it can be ascertained
`whether (a) the ’233 Patent Claims will survive, and (b) whether there will be a
`remand as to any of the other Patents-in-Suit. If both eventualities occur, the Parties
`request a joint trial on all remaining claims. Otherwise, the Parties request a trial on
`whatever claims remain, if any.
`(5) Any bill of costs under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 54(d) or motion for attorney’s
`fees under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 54(d) shall be deferred until all currently
`pending appeals relating to this litigation, or appeals based on the current record in
`this matter, have been concluded. If Plaintiff does not file an appeal in this litigation,
`any deadline for filing such motions orbill of costs , shall be extended to 45 days after
`the deadline for Plaintiff to file a Notice of Appeal has lapsed. On the foregoing basis,
`neither party will oppose any such motion on the basis of timeliness.
`A Proposed Order is filed herewith.
