This report should be filed only in the lead case (No. 8:12-cv-1324-ODW(MRWx)), and must briefly state reasons why, in light of the Courts findings that claims 16, 9, 1015, and 2631 are invalid under 35 U.S.C. 101, the Court should not enter final judgment in favor of Defendants. For instance, though the Court believes this is not the case, it is conceivable that Digitech has asserted claims 78, 1625, or 3233 against one or more Defendants. There may also be other reasons unknown to the Court why it should not enter final judgment. (lc). Modified on 7/31/2013. (lc).
