`
`Do you believe that this case may be amenable to mediation? □ Yes □ No
`✔
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`If you answered no, explain why not
`The parties have already engaged in regular settlement discussions before, during, and after trial.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Additionally, Wi-LAN has filed two subsequent lawsuits against Apple. Given the distance between
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`the parties' positions and the pending litigations, Apple does not believe this appeal is suitable for the
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Court's mediation program. Moreover, the parties have no common business interests beyond this
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`dispute because Wi-LAN is a non-practicing entity.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Provide any other information relevant to the inclusion of this case in the court’s mediation
`program.
