Ademia Multimedia LLC, Audio Communications Inc., Cyber Trend Inc., Innovative Ideas International, Adult Revenue Service, Lightspeed Media Group Inc., New Destiny Internet Group LLC, VS Media Inc., Offendale Commercial Limited BV, AskCS.com, Inc., and International Web Innovations Inc. (collectively referred to in this Judgment as "Defendants"). First, for the reasons set forth in the October 23 Order, with respect to Defendants' counterclaims of invalidity under 35 U.S.C. § 112, ¶ 2 as to U.S. Patent Nos. 5,132,992 ("`992 Patent"), 5,550,863 ("`863 Patent"), 6,002,720 ("`720 Patent"), and 6,144,702 ("`702 Patent"), respectively, judgment is entered in favor of Defendants and against Acacia. The Court declares U.S. Patent Nos. `992, `863, `720, and `702 invalid. Second, for the reasons set forth in the October 23 Order, with respect to Acacia's claims for infringement and Defendants' counterclaims for a declaration of non-infringement of the `992, the `863, the `720, and the `702 Patents, judgment is entered in favor of Defendants against Acacia. The Court declares that U.S. Patent Nos. `992, `863, `720, and `702 not infringed by Defendants. Third, because Acacia has voluntarily withdrawn all asserted claims of U.S. Patent No. 5,253,275 ("`275 Patent"), judgment is entered in favor of Defendants and against Acacia on Acacia's claims for infringement and on Defendants' counterclaims for declaration of non-infringement of the `275 patent. Fourth, Acacia's state law claims and Defendants' remaining counterclaims are dismissed without prejudice. The Court declares that Defendants are the prevailing parties and are entitled to recover costs of suit. Accordingly, the Court finds that there is no just reason for delay of entry of final judgment in favor of Defendants and against Plaintiff Acacia. This is a full and final adjudication of all issues before this Court.
