On August 4, 2022, the Court entered an order granting the joint summary

1
2

judgment motion of Defendants Cisco Systems, Inc., ADVA Optical Networking SE,

3

ADVA Optical Networking North America, Inc., Nokia Corporation, and Nokia of

4

America Corporation (collectively, “Defendants”) (the “Order”). See Core Optical

Technologies, LLC v. Cisco Systems, Inc. et al, C.A. 8:20-cv-01468 JAK (AGRx) Dkt.

111; Core Optical Technologies, LLC v. ADVA Optical Networking SE et al, C.A.

8:20-cv-01463 JAK (RAOx), Dkt.128; Core Optical Technologies, LLC v. Nokia

8

Corporation et al., C.A. 8:19-cv-02190 JAK (RAOx), Dkt.144. In the Order, the

9

Court concluded that there is no genuine dispute of material fact that the patent-in-

10

suit, U.S. Patent No. 6,782,211 (the “’211 Patent”), is not a Non-TRW Invention

11

under Dr. Core’s Invention Agreement with TRW, and therefore Dr. Core’s rights in

12

the ’211 Patent were automatically assigned under the Invention Agreement to TRW.

13

As a result of the Order, Plaintiff Core Optical Technologies, LLC lacks standing to

14

assert the ’211 Patent. As a further result of the Order, each Defendant is a prevailing

15

party.

16
17

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that these cases are DISMISSED IN
THEIR ENTIRETY due to lack of subject matter jurisdiction.

19

IT IS SO ORDERED.
