`
`IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF FEDERAL CLAIMS
`
`
`
`
`
`
`E-NUMERATE SOLUTIONS, INC. and
`E-NUMERATE, LLC,
`
`Plaintiffs,
`
`v.
`
`THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
`
`Defendant.
`
`C.A. No. 19-859-RTH
`
`JOINT STATUS REPORT
`
`Plaintiffs e-Numerate Solutions, Inc. and e-Numerate, LLC and Defendant the United
`
`States of America (the “Government”) respectfully submit this Joint Status Report pursuant to the
`
`Court’s Order of February 29, 2024. ECF 116, page 55 – 56. Per the Court’s request, the parties have
`
`followed the general format of the Joint Preliminary Status Report filed on November 19, 2020. ECF-35.
`
`The parties have removed the sections from the prior submission that are not germane to the current
`
`procedural posture of the case.
`
`As set forth in more detail below, the parties are broadly in agreement that the fact discovery
`
`period should commence later this month and run for a period of 18 months. However, the parties are in
`
`disagreement regarding the timing of certain milestones within that schedule. Per the Court’s request, the
`
`parties have proposed a schedule using Judge Albright’s Standing Order governing proceedings in patent
`
`cases. ECF 116, page 56. In addition, there are certain disputes between the parties that will require Court
`
`involvement at the Scheduling Conference or at a time and in a manner set forth by the Court..
`
`Should trial of liability and damages be bifurcated and, if so, why?
`
`(a)
`
`
`e-Numerate maintains that a trial of liability and damages should not be bifurcated. The
`
`
`
`1
`
`

`

`Case 1:19-cv-00859-RTH Document 117 Filed 03/14/24 Page 2 of 14
`
`Government agrees that discovery need not be bifurcated but submits that a determination as to
`
`whether separate trials or evidentiary hearings be held on specific issues can be made at a later date
`
`after these issues are further developed.
`
`(b) Will additional parties be joined? If so, the parties shall provide a statement
`describing such parties, their relationship to the case, the efforts to effect
`joinder, and the schedule proposed to effect joinder.
`
`The parties do not anticipate at this time that any additional parties will be joined in this
`
`action.
`
`e-Numerate’s Additional Position
`
`e-Numerate believes that the Government has improperly limited its search for core
`
`technical documents to systems explicitly set forth in the Second Amended Complaint (ECF 53)
`
`and/or e-Numerate’s infringement contentions. The great weight of authority holds that such a
`
`limitation is inappropriate and that the Government must produce documents relating to all systems
`
`in its possession, custody and control that operate in the same manner as the specifically accused
`
`systems. See, e.g., Epicrealm, Licensing, LLC v. Autoflex Leasing, Inc., No. 2:05-CV-163, 2007
`
`WL 2580969, at *2-3 (E.D. Tex. Aug. 27, 2007); LKQ Corp. v. Kia Motors Am., Inc., No. 21 C
`
`3166, 2023 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 84551, 2023 WL 3455315, at *3-4 (N.D. Ill. May 15, 2023)
`
`(collecting cases); Invensas Corp. v. Renesas Elecs. Corp., 287 F.R.D. 273, 279-83 & n.9 (D. Del.
`
`2012) (same). e-Numerate further believes that the Government has withheld production of
`
`documents related to the SEC analytical systems specifically accused of infringement in the
`
`Second Amended Complaint. See, e.g., D.I. 53 at Count II, pars. 73 -74 & Ex. G. As set forth
`
`below, these two issues need to be addressed at the Scheduling Conference or in a time or manner
`
`set forth by the Court. e-Numerate did not pursue this issue against the Government previously
`
`because of the Court’s expressed desire to address all claim construction issues in the case first.
`
`If the Government produces additional documents implicating additional agencies of the
`2
`
`
`
`
`
`

`

`Case 1:19-cv-00859-RTH Document 117 Filed 03/14/24 Page 3 of 14
`
`United States, e-Numerate may amend the Complaint to name them and their products/systems.
`
`Because all of the agencies are part of the United States (the named defendant), e-Numerate does
`
`not believe that additional “parties” will be added to the Complaint. e-Numerate has proposed
`
`dates further out in the schedule to amend the Complaint and/or add additional agencies to account
`
`for these issues.
`
`The Government’s Additional Position
`
`The Government objects to e-Numerate’s inclusion of a recitation of purported document
`
`production deficiencies in a Joint Status Report directed to scheduling issues, particularly when e-
`
`Numerate first raised this issue with the Government in a correspondence provided on the
`
`afternoon of March 12, 2024. The Government diligently collected and produced core technical
`
`documents totaling at least hundreds of thousands of pages in 2021 and 2022, before the deadline
`
`for production of core technical documents on August 17, 2022. Dkt. No. 87. e-Numerate delayed
`
`raising this issue for more than a year and a half. The Government will respond in due course with
`
`respect to any document production issues but they should not impact the default scheduling
`
`provided in Judge Albright’s Standing Order.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`(c)
`
`Does either party intend to file a motion pursuant to RCFC 12(b), 12(c), or 56
`and, if so, what is the schedule for the intended filing?
`
`e-Numerate’s Position:
`
`e-Numerate does not anticipate filing a summary judgment motion until the date set forth
`
`in the Scheduling Order entered in this matter. However, e-Numerate believes that the Court
`
`should include the following provision relating to summary judgment briefing in this matter
`
`based on Judge Albright’s Standing Order:
`
`8. The Court does not limit the number of motions for summary judgment (MSJs) or
`Daubert motions party may file. However, absent leave of Court, the cumulative
`page limit for opening briefs for all MSJs is 40 pages per side, for all Daubert
`motions is 40 pages per side,and for all MILs is 15 pages per side. Each responsive
`3
`
`

`

`Case 1:19-cv-00859-RTH Document 117 Filed 03/14/24 Page 4 of 14
`
`MSJ, Daubert, and MIL brief is limited to the pages utilized in the opening brief or
`by the local rules, whichever is greater; and the cumulative pages for responsive
`briefs shall be no more than cumulative pages utilized in the opening briefs. Reply
`brief page limits shall be governed by the local rules, but in no event shall the
`cumulative pages of reply briefs exceed 20 pages per side for all MSJs, 20 pages per
`side for all Daubert motions, and 10 pages for all MILs.
`
`See Judge Albright Standing Order of January 23, 2024 at page 10, par. 8. This provision is
`
`intended to focus the parties on a subset of potential summary judgment motions that may have
`
`merit under Fed. R. Civ. P. Rule 56. Conversely, this provision discourages filing multiple
`
`summary judgment briefs that independently are allowed the page limit under the local rules. e-
`
`Numerate’s counsel has found this provision effective in focusing the parties’ resources on issues
`
`that are “summary judgment worthy” under Fed. R. Civ. P. Rule 56 in other cases it has litigated.
`
`Contrary to the Government’s argument below, Judge Albright’s Order does not limit the
`
`number of summary judgment motions that can be filed. Rather, it limits the amount of briefing
`
`on the summary judgment motions.
`
`The Government’s Further Position
`
`The Government does not anticipate filing a summary judgment motion until the date set
`
`forth in the Scheduling Order entered in this matter. However, the Court of Federal Claims does
`
`not limit the number of dispositive motions that can be filed by either party. See e.g., Return
`
`Mail, Inc. v. United States, No. 11-CV-130 (Fed. Cl. 2011), ECF No. 169 (Defendant’s Motion
`
`for Summary Judgment Under 35 U.S.C. § 101), ECF No. 171 (Defendant’s Motion for
`
`Summary Judgment Under 35 U.S.C. §§ 305 and 102), ECF No. 172 (Plaintiff’s Motion for
`
`Partial Summary Judgment as to Defendant’s Section 101 Affirmative Defense), ECF No. 173
`
`(Plaintiff’s Motion for Partial Summary Judgment on Defendant’s Section 305 Affirmative
`
`Defense). Moreover, the page limits in the Rules of the Court of Federal Claims are on a per-
`
`motion basis as opposed to a cumulative limit as e-Numerate proposes. In any case, setting such
`
`4
`
`
`
`
`
`

`

`Case 1:19-cv-00859-RTH Document 117 Filed 03/14/24 Page 5 of 14
`
`a limitation is premature given that dispositive motions will not be filed for years.
`
`
`
`
`
`likelihood of
`the
`is
`(d) What
`resolution contemplated?
`
`settlement?
`
`Is alternative dispute
`
`Counsel for the parties have held several informal discussions including a discussion after
`
`the Court’s first Markman ruling. Counsel are scheduled to talk via telephone during the week
`
`of March 18 in light of the Court’s second Markman ruling. E-Numerate is amenable to a
`
`settlement mediation with the Government. The Government believes that some form of
`
`alternative dispute resolution (“ADR”) may be useful later in the case.
`
`(e)
`
`Do the parties anticipate proceeding to trial? Does either party, or do the
`parties jointly, request expedited trial scheduling and, if so, why? A request
`for expedited trial scheduling is generally appropriate when the parties
`anticipate that discovery, if any, can be completed within a 90-day trial
`period, the case can be tried within 3 days, no dispositive motion is
`anticipated, and a bench ruling is sought. The requested place of trial shall be
`stated. Before such a request is made, the parties shall confer specifically on
`this subject.
`
`The parties do not request an expedited trial schedule. The parties request that the trial, if
`
`any, be held at the U.S. Court of Federal Claims Courthouse in Washington, D.C.
`
`e-Numerate’s Further Position:
`
`At this time, e-Numerate anticipates proceeding to trial if the case cannot be resolved
`
`amicably. E-Numerate respectfully requests that the Court provide guidance to the parties about
`
`how many patents/claims it will allow the parties to take to trial as well as how many invalidity
`
`theories it will allow the Government to raise per asserted claim and the process the Court will use
`
`in making that determination. This guidance will inform the parties about the scope of narrowing
`
`that must take place during the two meet and confer dates set forth in Judge Albright’s schedule.
`
`See, e.g., VLSI Tech. LLC v. Intel Corp., 2020 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 137485 (D. Del. August 3, 2020).
`
`The Government’s proposal to employ the Model Order in this case is contrary to Judge
`
`5
`
`
`
`
`
`

`

`Case 1:19-cv-00859-RTH Document 117 Filed 03/14/24 Page 6 of 14
`
`Albright’s procedures. See, e.g., Jawbone Innovations, LLC v. Google LLC, 2022 U.S. Dist.
`
`LEXIS 41439 at *5 (W.D. Tex. March 8, 2022)(“The Court generally will not require a plaintiff
`
`to reduce its number of asserted claims without the benefit of discovery, claim construction, and
`
`invalidity contentions.”)
`
`Defendant’s Further Position:
`
`The Government agrees that guidance from the Court on the number of asserted claims
`
`and prior art references would be useful. In the interim, the Government has used the Advisory
`
`Council for the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit’s Model Order Limiting
`
`Excess Patent Claims and Prior Art (2013) (“Model Order”)1. The Model Order addresses the
`
`collective concern in many jurisdictions relating to the “overwhelming” number of issues
`
`presented in many patent cases. Because there is a “consensus that the numbers of asserted
`
`claims, claim terms, and prior art references in patent cases are often problematically excessive,”
`
`the Advisory Council drafted the Model Order to be a flexible tool to promote effective case
`
`management and to limit the burdens on parties and courts when superfluous claims and prior art
`
`are maintained. The default numerical limits on the number of asserted patent claims and prior art
`
`references contained in the Model Order are workable and can account for the need to balance the
`
`need for discovery against the benefits of early streamlining. The Government’s proposal for a
`
`reduction of number of asserted claims to thirty-two (32) and prior art references to twelve (12) at
`
`approximately two months into fact discovery is based on the limits proposed in this Model Order
`
`and is provided after the benefit of claim construction, invalidity contentions, and months of
`
`discovery.
`
`
`

`
`Is there other information of which the court should be aware at this time?

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Yes. The parties previously filed a Joint Stipulation of Dismissal with respect to Count VIII of
`
`the Second Amended Complaint which alleged infringement of U.S. Patent No. 10,423,708 (“the
`
`‘708 patent”). See Dkt. No. 101. The Court indicated that it would issue an Order to that effect by
`
`the time of its Markman ruling. See Dkt. No. 106 at 5:12-19. The parties respectfully request that
`
`the Court issue such an Order. The parties’ additional respective positions are set forth below.
`
`e-Numerate’s Position
`
`e-Numerate respectfully requests that the Court set a date for an in-person Scheduling
`
`Conference. e-Numerate wishes to address the following issues at that Scheduling Conference:
`
`(1) whether the Court will set a trial date at this time; (2) what procedure the Court will follow in
`
`limiting the number of claims/patents that are asserted at trial; (3) whether the Court will include
`
`Judge Albright’s provision on summary judgment briefing in the Scheduling Order in this matter;
`
`(4) discovery limits; and (5) e-Numerate’s contention that the Government has failed to produce
`
`documents related to the SEC analytical systems and improperly limited the scope of its search
`
`for systems in its technical document production. Each is addressed in turn.
`
`1. Trial
`
`e-Numerate sets forth a complete listing of the dates set forth in Judge Albright’s
`
`Standing Order. The Government did not believe a schedule had to be submitted for events
`
`occurring beyond the close of fact discovery. Whether a trial date will be set at this time is
`
`something that should be discussed at the Scheduling Conference.
`
`2. Limitations on Asserted Claims/Patents and Invalidity Theories
`
`e-Numerate wishes to discuss the procedure the Court will follow in limiting the number
`
`of asserted claims/patents and the number of asserted invalidity theories in the case. See, e.g.,
`
`VLSI Tech. LLC v. Intel Corp., 2020 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 137485 (D. Del. August 3, 2020);
`
`7
`
`

`

`Case 1:19-cv-00859-RTH Document 117 Filed 03/14/24 Page 8 of 14
`
`Jawbone Innovations, LLC v. Google LLC, 2022 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 41439 at *5 (W.D. Tex.
`
`March 8, 2022).
`
`3. Judge Albright’s Limitation On Summary Judgment Briefing
`
`e-Numerate respectfully requests that the Court impose Judge Albright’s limitation on
`
`summary judgment briefing in the Scheduling Order to promote efficient resolution of this
`
`matter. See Standing Order of January 23, 2024, page 10, par. 8.
`
`4. Discovery Limits
`
`Both parties seek an 18-month long fact discovery period, although the parties disagree
`
`with the timing of certain milestones in the schedule. The reason for this request is that the case
`
`is larger than it was when the Joint Preliminary Status Report was filed. Multiple additional
`
`Government agencies have been added and, consequently, more third-party products are
`
`implicated. e-Numerate believes that milestones relating to “final contentions” should be set
`
`forth at or near the end of the fact discovery period given the magnitude of the case. Third
`
`parties have resisted e-Numerate’s discovery efforts and Court intervention will be required under
`
`Fed. R. Civ. P. Rule 45. These are additional reasons to delay service of final contentions. e-
`
`Numerate did not pursue enforcement of various subpoenas because the Government was
`
`asserting, inter alia, that “code for” claims were invalid. Moreover, the fact that the precise
`
`contours of the claims were unknown until the Court’s constructions were issued was almost
`
`certainly going to be raised as grounds to resist the subpoenas by the third parties.
`
`e-Numerate seeks 200 hours of deposition discovery in lieu of the normal 70 hours
`
`provided under the Federal Rules. The reason for this request is that e-Numerate will be
`
`pursuing multiple third parties in discovery, which e-Numerate estimates may be in excess of 20 -
`
`30 third party service providers and/or customers of said third parties in addition to the
`
`Government entities implicated in this suit. e-Numerate requests that all testifying experts may
`
`
`
`8
`
`

`

`Case 1:19-cv-00859-RTH Document 117 Filed 03/14/24 Page 9 of 14
`
`be deposed by the opposing party and that such depositions do not count towards the hours limit
`
`on depositions.
`
`e-Numerate requests that there be no limit on the number of document requests and, in
`
`any event, e-Numerate requests a ruling by the Court that subpoenas and items requested in a
`
`subpoena directed to a third party do not count towards any limit on document requests imposed
`
`in this matter.
`
`e-Numerate renews its request that the Court set a Status Conference during the fact
`
`discovery period to discuss whether and to what extent the parties have agreed that certain third-
`
`party products are representative products for liability purposes. e-Numerate contends that
`
`any limitation on representative claims should be coupled with an agreement on representative
`
`third-party products.
`
`Further, e-Numerate requests that all Government agencies collectively constitute one
`
`side for purposes of the discovery limitations. For example, if the parties get 200 hours of
`
`deposition time, e-Numerate gets 200 hours and the United States gets 200 hours regardless of
`
`the number of involved agencies. Put differently, each of the involved government agencies
`
`does not receive its own allotment of 200 hours of deposition time.
`
`5. The Government’s Production of Technical Documents.
`
`e-Numerate contends that the Government has failed to produce documents related to the
`
`SEC analytical systems specifically accused of infringement in the Second Amended Complaint.
`
`D.I. 53 at Count II, pars. 73 -74 & Ex. G. In addition, e-Numerate contends that the Government
`
`improperly limited the scope of its search for systems in its technical document production. By
`
`way of example, to the extent that the FDIC/FFIEC, OMB/USDOT, and FERC/DOE and their
`
`affiliated agencies have analysis programs used to analyze XBRL filings, these should have been
`
`included in the Government’s production. e-Numerate wishes to address how the Court will
`
`
`
`9
`
`

`

`Case 1:19-cv-00859-RTH Document 117 Filed 03/14/24 Page 10 of 14
`
`resolve this issue. The Government’s complaint that e-Numerate first raised this issue via letter
`
`of March 12, 2024, rings hollow because whether the documents at issue were produced and
`
`what was searched for are straight-forward questions.
`
`Defendant’s Position
`
`
`
`
`
`1. Amended Contentions in Light of the Court’s Markman decisions
`
`The Government served amended invalidity contentions based on the first Markman
`
`decision (Dkt. No. 109) more than four months ago and has sought to avoid unnecessary motion
`
`practice by obtaining e-Numerate’s consent to file an unopposed motion to amend its prior
`
`contentions accordingly. While e-Numerate has indicated it may have some issue with respect to
`
`an unidentified subset of the contentions, it has still not provided a detailed response. The
`
`Government is also reviewing the Court’s second Markman decision (Dkt. No. 116) to determine
`
`if further amendments are needed and while it does not expect such revisions, the Government is
`
`prepared to make a motion with respect to first proposed amendments if that is the Court’s
`
`preference, notwithstanding e-Numerate incomplete substantive response to date.
`
`2. Proposed Schedule
`
`The Government has included milestones through the end of fact discovery and while it
`
`believes that a schedule for expert discovery and dispositive motion briefing can be deferred it
`
`has alternatively provided dates for those as well. The Government respectfully requests that a
`
`schedule for motions in limine and Daubert motions be deferred until after summary judgment
`
`hearings when the Court and the parties are better positioned to address such issues.
`
`In terms of fact discovery, the Government’s proposed dates adhere more closely to
`
`Judge Albright’s Standing Order which provides that the date for final contentions is “8 weeks
`
`after Markman hearing.” The Government proposal is based on the parties first meaningfully
`
`reducing the number of asserted claims and prior art references approximately ten weeks after
`
`10
`
`

`

`Case 1:19-cv-00859-RTH Document 117 Filed 03/14/24 Page 11 of 14
`
`the commencement of fact discovery followed by final contentions two months thereafter. In
`
`contrast, e-Numerate proposes that final contentions be provided at the end of fact discovery.
`
`Notably, e-Numerate’s infringement contentions are largely directed to publicly available source
`
`code, see, e.g., Dkt. No. 44- 4 at n2, 3 (noting — in 2021 — e-Numerate’s reliance on public
`
`domain software, its online location, and a lack of detailed contentions with respect to that
`
`software), or third-party software providers. It served subpoenas on Toppan Merrill, Oracle
`
`Corporation and SAP America three years ago, yet has never sought to amend its contentions or
`
`sought Court involvement with respect to third-parties.
`
`3. Discovery Limits
`
`The Government agrees to the “General Discovery Limits” specified in Standing Order
`
`Governing Proceedings (OGP) 4.4—Patent Cases (W.D. Tex. Jan. 23, 2024) as modified below.
`
`As previously proposed, the Government agrees to 70 hours of party deposition per side and 40
`
`hours of deposition of third parties per side. The Government also agrees to 7 hours of expert
`
`deposition per report and that this not count to the total hours of depositions per party. While the
`
`Government is uncertain as to the identity of the 20 - 30 third party service providers and/or
`
`customers e-Numerate references, it notes that e-Numerate has only issued three third-party
`
`subpoenas to date. e-Numerate’s request that there be no limit on the number of document
`
`requests is without any support and Judge Albright’s default of 75 requests for production should
`
`be used.
`
`The Government opposes e-Numerate request as to representative products for liability
`
`purposes as e-Numerate has had more than three years to conduct third-party discovery. Dkt. No.
`
`36 (“the parties shall be allowed to engage in all necessary third-party discovery.”)
`
`Finally, the Government agrees with e-Numerate’s request that the total deposition time
`
`for each side should apply to the Government as a whole and not be allotted to each government
