Civil Action No. 05 C 6869 Honorable Amy St. Eve

CIVIX'S RENEWED MOTION FOR ENTRY OF JUDGMENT OF INFRINGEMENT AGAINST HOTELS.COM OR ALTERNATIVE RELIEF (DKT. NOS. 363 AND 380) On June 25, 2007, plaintiff CIVIX-DDI, LLC ("CIVIX") filed its Motion for Entry of Judgment of Infringement Against Hotels.com or Alternative Relief (Dkt. Nos. 363 and 380). On September 17, 2007, the Court granted Defendants' motion to stay the

proceedings pending reexamination of the patents-in-suit, denied, without prejudice, all pending motions (including the present motion) and instructed the parties "to refile after the reexamination process is completed." (Dkt. No. 459, at p. 1). The reexamination process has been completed and the Court lifted the stay and issued a revised scheduling order (Dkt. No. 496). Accordingly, on October 14, 2009, CIVIX re-filed and provided the Court unredacted copies of its original Motion for Entry of Judgment of Infringement Against Hotels.com or Alternative Relief, along with Hotels.com's response, CIVIX's reply and Hotels.com's sur-reply. (See Dkt. No. 506).

For the reasons stated in CIVIX's original motion (Dkt Nos. 363 and 380), and CIVIX's reply (Dkt. Nos. 417 and 418), CIVIX respectfully requests that its motion be granted.
