Plaintiff Ho Keung Tse (“Plaintiff”) brings the instant patent infringement action

14

against various Defendants alleging infringement of U.S. Patent No. 6,665,797 (“the ‘797

15

patent”). On December 11, 2013, Judge Susan Illston issued an Order finding that claims

16

1-5, 13, 16, 17, 20, and 23-26 of the ‘797 patent are invalid for lack of written description

17

under 35 U.S.C. § 112. See Ho Keung Tse v. Google, Inc., 2013 WL 6502478, at *6 (N.D.

18

Cal. 2013). On July 16, 2014, the Federal Circuit affirmed Judge Illston’s Order.

19

Accordingly,

20

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT the parties shall show cause in writing why this

21

case should or should not be dismissed on the ground that the claims of the ‘797 patent at

22

issue in this case are invalid. The parties shall file briefs, not to exceed five (5) pages, by

23

no later than seven (7) days from the date this Order is filed. Plaintiff is warned that the

24

failure to fully and timely comply with this Order will constitute grounds for dismissal of

25

this action.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
