WHEREAS, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 54(b), Plaintiff Unwired Planet LLC ("Unwired Planet") and Defendant Google Inc. ("Google") (collectively with Unwired Planet, the "Parties") stipulate to entry of partial final judgment under Rule 54(b), and a stay of case activity pending the resolution of any appeal by Unwired Planet;

WHEREAS, the Court previously stayed litigation as to United States Patent Nos. 7,024,205, 7,203,752, and 7,463,151 (collectively, the "Stayed Patents") on January 27, 2014, Dkt. 233, pending inter partes review and covered business method review by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (the "PTO");

WHEREAS, the Parties previously stipulated to judgment of noninfringement of United States Patent Nos. 6,292,657, 6,895,240, 6,944,760, 6,684,087, and 6,662,016 (collectively, the "Asserted Patents") under the Court's claim construction order as set forth in Dkt. 464 on March 26, 2015;

WHEREAS, the Court granted the Parties' stipulation set forth in Dkt. 464 on March 27, 2015, Dkt. 466;

WHEREAS, the Court granted Google's motion for summary judgment of invalidity of United States Patent No. 6,292,657 on March 27, 2015, Dkt. 465;

WHEREAS, the Court granted-in-part Google's motion for summary judgment of invalidity of United States Patent No. 6,684,087 on May 26, 2015, Dkt. 470;

WHEREAS, Unwired Planet's claims for infringement of United States Patent Nos. 7,035,647 and 7,203,752 have been dismissed without prejudice, and Google's counterclaims as to United States Patent Nos. 7,035,647 and 7,203,752 remain pending, Dkt. 451;

WHEREAS, Unwired Planet's claim for infringement and Google's counterclaim for a declaratory judgment of non-infringement of United States Patent No. 6,654,786 have been dismissed with prejudice, and Google's counterclaim for a declaratory judgment of invalidity of United States Patent No. 6,654,786 has been dismissed without prejudice, Dkt. 371;

WHEREAS, the PTO has found all asserted claims of the Stayed Patents to be unpatentable;

WHEREAS, Unwired Planet has filed notices of appeal from certain of the PTO's final written decisions regarding U.S. Patent No. 7,024,205 and 7,203,752;

WHEREAS, Unwired Planet has not filed a notice of appeal from the PTO's final written decisions regarding U.S. Patent No. 7,463,151 and its deadline for doing so has expired;

WHEREAS, entering partial final judgment under Rule 54(b) now will allow the parties to forgo further litigation in this Court, while preserving Unwired Planet's right to appeal the Court's claim construction and invalidity summary judgment orders;

WHEREAS, the Parties respectfully request that the Court determine that there is no just reason for delay and enter partial final judgment pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 54(b) to conserve judicial resources and to avoid the time and expense of further discovery and motion practice;

WHEREAS, consistent with the judicial economy that is promoted by the entry of such a partial final judgment pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 54(b), the Parties propose that the Court stay all case activity and indefinitely extend all case deadlines until any appeal is finally resolved;

WHEREAS, upon entry of partial final judgment pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 54(b), Unwired Planet intends to file a notice of appeal of the Court's partial final judgment; and

WHEREAS, in the event that the Federal Circuit dismisses Unwired Planet's appeal as premature, Unwired Planet reserves the right (which Google does not contest) to undertake further proceedings in this Court on remand to complete the record for appeal,

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by the Parties, subject to the approval of the Court, that the proposed judgment attached hereto as Exhibit A should be entered.
