Case No. 2:18-cv-00014-JRG-RSP

ORDER
The Magistrate Judge previously entered his Report and Recommendation (Dkt.
No. 165), which recommended denial of Defendants HiCon Co., Ltd.’s and HiCon
Company’s Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Standing (Dkt. No. 83). Defendants
HiCon Co., Ltd. and HiCon Company have now filed an Objection to that Report
and Recommendation. (Dkt. No. 179.)
After consideration of the briefing on Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss, the Report
and Recommendation, Defendants’ Objection to the Report and Recommendation, and
Plaintiffs’ Response to that objection (Dkt. No. 190), the Court concludes that the
objections are without sufficient merit. While Defendants argue that Hwang would be
procedurally unable to defend against any claims of invalidity, the Court points out that no
patent invalidity claims are being made in this case. For that reason and the other reasons

stated within the Report, the Court agrees with the conclusion reached within the Report.
The Magistrate Judge’s Recommendation is therefore ADOPTED.
SIGNED this 19th day of December, 2011.
So ORDERED and SIGNED this 14th day of March, 2019.
