FINAL JUDGMENT
HAYWOOD S. GILLIAM, JR., District Judge.
Based upon this Court's January 14, 2020, Order on DSS's Motion to Amend Infringement Contentions and Apple's Cross-Motion to Strike Expert Report (Dkt. 413, the "Order"), which denied Plaintiff DSS Technology Management Inc.'s ("DSS") motion to amend its infringement contentions and granted Defendant Apple Inc.'s ("Apple") cross-motion to strike the Joint Expert Report of Scott A. Denning and Randal H. Direen Regarding Infringement of U.S. Patent Number 6,128,290 And Other Matters [Dkt. 322-1], DSS and Apple (collectively, the "Parties") have stipulated that Apple is entitled to a judgment of non-infringement of U.S. Patent No. 6,128,290 (the "'290 patent") as a matter of law in the above-titled civil case.
Accordingly, the Court enters Judgment as follows:
1. All claims of U.S. Patent No. 5,699,357 have been withdrawn with prejudice against all of Apple's products.
2. The Parties stipulated to the dismissal of all claims and counterclaims with respect to claim 4 of the '290 patent with prejudice, with all costs, expenses, and attorneys' fees with respect to all claims and counterclaims relating to claim 4 borne by the party that incurred them.
3. As a result of the Court's Order, DSS has no remaining expert opinions on infringement or remaining infringement theories and, therefore, cannot meet its burden of proof on infringement at trial on any of claims 1-3 of the '290 patent asserted against the Apple.
4. Final judgment of non-infringement of all claims of the '290 patent is entered against DSS and for Apple, subject to the Parties' right to appeal.
5. All other counterclaims and defenses which have been asserted by Apple, including Apple's counterclaim of patent invalidity, are dismissed without prejudice.
6. DSS shall take nothing from Apple with respect to any claims made by DSS against Apple in the above-titled case.
7. All other issues raised in any pending motions are preserved in the event an appeal results in remand for further proceedings in this Court, and any and all such pending motions are hereby denied as moot.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
