Pursuant to Local Rule 6-2, the parties request that the Court set a common hearing date for

4

Research L.L.C. (“Round Rock”) has a motion for summary judgment regarding several affirmative

5

defenses raised by SanDisk Corporation (“SanDisk”), including patent exhaustion. [See Dkt. No.

6

123.] SanDisk has a motion for summary judgment regarding anticipation of claims 1, 2, and 4 of

7

U.S. Patent No. 6,383,839 (“the ’839 patent”). [See Dkt. No. 141.] SanDisk recently filed a motion

8

for summary judgment requesting the following relief: claim 14 of U.S. Patent No. 6,570,791 (“the

9

’791 patent”) is anticipated, Round Rock cannot seek damages for alleged infringement of the ’791

10

patent before August 11, 2011, Round Rock cannot prove infringement of claim 1 of U.S. Patent

11

No. 5,682,345 (“the ’345 patent”), SanDisk does not infringe the ’839 patent, and SanDisk’s does

not infringe the ’345 patent, the ’791 patent or U.S. Patent No. 6,845,053 (“the ’053 patent”) in view

13

of its affirmative defense of patent exhaustion. [See Dkt. No. 317.] Round Rock recently filed a

14

motion for summary judgment seeking the following relief: SanDisk infringes claim 14 of the ’791

15

patent, SanDisk infringes claim 39 of the ’345 patent, SanDisk infringes claim 24 of the ’053 patent,

16

and the “Garner” reference does not anticipate claim 24 of the ’053 patent. [See Dkt. No. 314.]

18

reports. [See Dkt. Nos. 272 and 286.]
