`Case IPR2016-00950
`Patent No. 8,166,739
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.8(a)(3), Patent Owner hereby provides this
`
`notification of a judgment in a related matter affecting the present proceeding:
`
`In the concurrent litigation involving the patent-at-issue, Oxbo Int’l
`
`Corp. v. H&S Mfg. Co., No. 15-cv-00292, (W.D. Wis.), the District Court
`
`conducted a full trial on the merits of the case, including on the issue of validity
`
`of the patent-at-issue over prior art cited by Petitioner in the present proceedings1
`
`and in view of the same secondary considerations evidence also of record in the
`
`present proceedings. On June 16, 2017, the jury returned a verdict that claim 1
`
`of the ’739 Patent at issue in these proceedings is valid and infringed.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`1 The prior art combination(s) considered during the district court litigation
`were different from the single instituted ground in this proceeding, but were among
`the non-instituted grounds. Specifically, US Honey (US Patent No. 5,031,394)
`(EX1017) and Wuebbels (U.S. Patent No. 6,775,969) (EX1019) were considered
`for the state of the art, while other references including Beougher (EX1010),
`Schnittjer (EX1011), Zhavoronkin (EX1012), CA Honey (EX1018), von
`Allworden (EX1020), and Dow ’757 (EX1013) were specifically considered.
