`
`IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
`FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA
`NORFOLK DIVISION
` SOUNDCLEAR TECHNOLOGIES LLC,
`Plaintiff,
`
`v.
`
` GOOGLE LLC,
`
`Defendant.
`
`
`
`
` Case No. 2:24-cv-00321-AWA-DEM
` JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
`
`JOINT NOTICE REGARDING INTER PARTES REVIEW PROCEEDINGS
`
`Plaintiff SoundClear Technologies, LLC (“SoundClear”) and Defendant Google LLC
`(“Google”) (collectively “the Parties”) submit this joint notice notifying the Court that on August
`4, 2025, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) discretionarily denied the
`petitions for inter partes review filed by Google and did not institute trial with respect to U.S.
`Patent Nos. 9,070,374 (IPR2025-00344) and 9,031,259 (IPR2025-00345). See IPR2025-00344,
`Paper 15; IPR2025-00345, Paper 15.
`SoundClear respectfully requests that this Court therefore lift its stay (Dkt. 84) and
`proceed moving forward with this case.
`Google disagrees that the IPR proceedings are concluded. Google has the right to request
`a director rehearing within thirty days of the institution decision. Google is currently evaluating
`its rights and procedural options. Accordingly, it is not appropriate to lift the stay at this time.
`Moreover, each of the Asserted Patents are subject to parallel IPR proceedings filed by Amazon.
`See IPR2025-01096 (challenging all claims of the ’259 Patent), IPR2025-01067 (challenging all
`claims of the ’374 Patent), and IPR2025-01080 (challenging all but one dependent claim of the
`Case 2:24-cv-00321-AWA-DEM Document 85 Filed 08/13/25 Page 1 of 3 PageID# 1989
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`2
`
`9,804,819 Patent). Accordingly, Google respectfully requests that the stay remain in effect. If the
`stay is lifted, Google intends to file a motion to stay based on the pending Amazon IPRs.
`
`Dated: August 13, 2025 Respectfully submitted,
