STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED]
ORDER DISMISSING CERTAIN
CLAIMS AND ENTERING FINAL
JUDGMENT
v.
ROUND ROCK RESEARCH LLC,
Defendant and
Counterclaim Plaintiff.
25
26
By Orders dated June 13, 2014, the Court granted SanDisk’s motion for summary judgment
27
of exhaustion on all of Round Rock’s infringement claims relating to U.S. Patent Nos. 6,570,791 and
28
6,845,053 (Dkt. No. 358), and granted SanDisk’s motion to strike its SD, microSD, and iNand
1
products from this case with respect to U.S. Patent No. 5,682,345 (Dkt. No. 360), among other
2
things. In light of the Court’s Orders, the only infringement allegations remaining in this case are:
3
(i) the alleged infringement of U.S. Patent No. 6,383,839 in connection with SanDisk’s microSD
4
Memory Cards; and (ii) the alleged infringement of U.S. Patent No. 5,682,345 in connection with
5
SanDisk’s mDOC products.
6
In view of the limited potential recovery relating to the remaining infringement claims
7
compared to the expense of proceeding with trial on these claims, Round Rock hereby covenants not
8
to assert infringement claims against SanDisk or its customers for infringement of U.S. Patent No.
9
6,383,839 (“the ’839 patent”) based upon the past or future manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale, or
10
importation of the SanDisk products currently at issue in this action with respect to the ’839 patent,
11
i.e., the accused SanDisk microSD Memory Cards. Round Rock further covenants not to assert
12
infringement claims against SanDisk or its customers for infringement of U.S. Patent No. 5,682,345
13
(“the ’345 patent”) based upon the past or future manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale, or importation
14
of the SanDisk products currently at issue in this action with respect to the ’345 patent, i.e., the
15
accused SanDisk mDOC products. The remaining claims in this action that were not resolved by the
16
Court on summary judgment are therefore moot.
17
Accordingly, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(ii), SanDisk
18
Corporation (“SanDisk”) and Round Rock Research LLP (“Round Rock”) hereby stipulate to
19
dismiss the following causes of action in connection with the remaining pending claims in this
20
action. SanDisk stipulates to dismiss its second cause of action (Declaratory Judgment of Invalidity
21
of U.S. Patent No. 6,383,839) and its fourth cause of action (Declaratory Judgment of Non-
22
Infringement of U.S. Patent No. 5,682,345) without prejudice, and Round Rock stipulates to dismiss
23
the second count of its counterclaims (Infringement of U.S. Patent No. 5,682,345) and the seventh
24
count of its counterclaims (Infringement of U.S. Patent No. 6,383,839) with prejudice.
25
No further issues remain for trial. The parties therefore respectfully request that the Court
26
enter final judgment pursuant to its June 13, 2014, Order (Dkt. No. 358) in favor of SanDisk on its
27
sixth cause of action (Declaratory Judgment of Non-Infringement of U.S. Patent No. 6,570,791) and
28
twelfth cause of action (Declaratory Judgment of Non-Infringement of U.S. Patent No. 6,845,053),
1
and against Round Rock on Count VIII of it counterclaims (Infringement of U.S. Patent No.
2
6,570,791) and Count XII of its counterclaims (Infringement of U.S. Patent No. 6,845,053). Each
3
party shall bear its own costs and attorneys’ fees.
