MINUTE entry before the Honorable M. David Weisman: Settlement conference held. Parties appeared via video conference. The parties were unable to reach an agreement and remain a galaxy apart. Barring a representation from all involved counsel that, after consulting with their clients, they believe a third settlement conference would likely be successful, this Court will not engage in a further settlement conference as the use of this Court's time for pointless settlement conferences in this case (now two) prevents the Court from engaging other parties who truly wish to meaningfully resolve their disputes through mediation. Status hearing set for 6/10/25 remains. See ECF #[270]. Mailed notice (ao,) 翻译 |

MINUTE entry before the Honorable M. David Weisman: Ruling on Motion hearing held. Discussion held as to Plaintiff's motion to compel. For the reasons discussed in open court, and as briefly summarized herein, the motion [264] is granted in part. As to Plaintiff's RFPs 1-4, defense counsel indicated that not all documents produced apply to all defendants. Defendants are directed to re-produce documents responsive to RFPs 1-4 and identify which documents apply to which defendants. As to RFPs 9-12, Defendants to supplement their response by giving sufficient information to identify which documents apply to which defendants. As to RFP 13, the request is overly broad (all things related to each financial account), and Plaintiff narrowed the request to seek documents necessary to identify the relevant financial accounts. Defendants to supplement their response to RFP 13. Regarding RFPs 5-8 and 14, seeking documents to demonstrate knowledge of Plaintiff's patented product and willfulness, Defendants are directed to supplement their responses. Regarding Plaintiff's general concern that Defendants failed to retain documents, that issue is not yet fully developed; Plaintiff may seek further relief in the future, if necessary. As to RFPs 10-12, these are duplicative, so no additional relief is granted. As to RFP 20, physical exemplars, Defendants to indicate who manufactured the three exemplars provided to Plaintiff. Defendants may provide confirmation of the manufacturer(s) in writing or the parties may accomplish the exchange of information in a meet and confer. As to RFP 19, model names and numbers and differences, Defendants to supplement their answer to clarify which documents apply to which defendants. As to Interrogatories #2 and #3, in its discretion, the Court directs Defendants to supplement their responses to provide a specific written response as to each defendant and identify any corresponding documents that have been produced. As to Interrogatory #4, and all interrogatories, Defendants must provide a separate response for each defendant. Defendants to provide their supplemental responses by 5/30/25. Status hearing set for 6/10/25 at 1:30 p.m. Joint status report due by COB on 6/6/25 setting forth the status of written discovery and whether further court involvement is necessary, a list of anticipated depositions, and any other issues the parties wish to raise.

Defendants move to stay this case pending the outcome of the ex parte reexamination. R. 238. Plaintiff is "not opposed to a stay in the proceedings" and states that the "resolution of the ex parte reexamination will have a substantial narrowing effect on the litigation and will result in appreciable judicial economy." R. 242 at 2. Defendants' motion to stay the case is granted. In conjunction with the stay, however, Plaintiff makes three requests. First, Plaintiff requests leave to file a motion to compel discovery. R. 242 at 3. That request is denied. Plaintiff may seek discovery following the resolution of the ex parte reexamination once the issues for litigation have been narrowed. Second, Plaintiff requests that Defendants be required "to produce monthly reports. showing the totality of the prior months sales of [accused] products." R. 242 at 3. Defendants have agreed to produce sales records to Plaintiff every three months. R. 244. The Court finds that Defendants' proposal is reasonable and orders Defendants to produce sales records every three months. Finally, Plaintiff requests that the Court renew the preliminary injunction. R. 242 at 3. The Court has already denied the Plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction, see R. 187, and for the same reasons, the Court denies Plaintiff's request to renew the preliminary injunction. This case is stayed until resolution of the ex parte reexamination by the USPTO. Within 14 days after the resolution of ex parte reexamination, the parties shall file a joint status report with the Court indicating next steps for litigation. Mailed notice. 翻译 |

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Thomas M. Durkin: On July 24, 2023, Defendants Bang Bang You Pin (Shenzhen) Industrial Co., Ltd and YJH Inc. voluntarily posted a bond of $50,000. On August 4, 2023, Defendants AISITIN Authorize Store, BenicabeDirect, EARHOME, Heystop Official Store, MLH.US.STORE, NJ-US Co. Ltd, QiYiEar, VANBAR, and YM-US Co., Ltd voluntarily posted a bond of $50,000. Defendants now move for a release of these bonds. R. 234. Defendants contend that they agreed to post the bonds "to provide security to Plaintiff before the formal preliminary injunction hearing." Id. Defendants further contend that because the Court denied Plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction on December 18, 2023, "the purpose of the bonds is fulfilled or becomes moot." Id. Plaintiff disputes that the purpose of the bonds was related to the preliminary injunction. R. 236. In their motion, Defendants failed to provide the Court with evidence (such as by affidavit or by exhibit) as to the agreement regarding the bonds and their underlying purpose. Absent such evidence, the Court is unable to determine whether the purpose of bonds is moot. For this reason, Defendants' motion (R. [234]) is denied. Mailed notice. 翻译 |

MINUTE entry before the Honorable M. David Weisman: Settlement conference held. All parties appeared via video conference. The parties were unable to reach a settlement in this matter, and there appears, at this point, little hope that settlement will be achieved based on the cavernous distance between the parties. Parties are remined that fact discovery closes on 8/30/24 [ECF [233]], subject to proceedings before the district court relating to staying discovery pending outcome of ex parte reexamination. See ECF [238], [239]. In other words, if the district court grants the pending motion to stay, this court will dutifully adjust the discovery schedule. If the district court does not grant the pending motion, this Court will be open to a very short extension time to complete fact discovery. All that said, discovery is not currently stayed. Status hearing set for 9/5/24 at 1:00 p.m. A joint status report shall be by noon on 9/4/24. Parties may appear in person or dial in using the Court's conference call-in number. The conference call-in number is 1-855-244-8681 and the access code is 2316 422 1828##. Persons granted remote access to proceedings are reminded of the general prohibition against photographing, recording, and rebroadcasting of court proceedings. Violation of these prohibitions may result in sanctions, including removal of court issued media credentials, restricted entry to future hearings, denial of entry to future hearings, or any other sanctions deemed necessary by the Court.
