`
`
`In the Matter of Certain Document Cameras and Software for Use
`
`Therewith, Investigation No. 337-TA-967, in the United States International Trade

`CASE NO. IPR2016-00661
`
`QOMO was found to be in default. Order No. 10 (Dec. 7,
`
`2015). On December 17, 2015, therefore, Pathway filed a
`
`request for entry of a limited exclusion order and/or cease and
`
`desist order. The ITC has not yet entered a limited exclusion
`
`order and/or cease and desist order.
`
`Adesso was terminated based on a consent order stipulation and
`
`consent order. Order No. 5 (Nov. 23, 2015)
`
`Recordex entered into a confidential settlement agreement with
`
`Patent Owner effective April 4, 2016. On April 11, 2016,
`
`Patent Owner and Recordex jointly moved to terminate the
`
`Investigation as to Recordex based on the settlement agreement.
`
`On April 20, 2016, the ITC issued an Initial Determination
`
`granting the parties’ joint motion to terminate the Investigation
`
`as to Recordex. A Final Determination by the ITC terminating
`
`the investigation with respect to Recordex is expected in the
`
`near future.

`
