08/16/23	Huber Engineered Woods LLC v. Louisiana Pacific Corp 1:19-CV-00342 ( D. DE )	Report to the Commissioner of Patents and Trademarks. (ntl) (Entered: 08/16/2023)
08/16/23	Huber Engineered Woods LLC v. Louisiana Pacific Corp 1:19-CV-00342 ( D. DE )	SO ORDERED, re 692 Stipulation of Dismissal filed by Huber Engineered Woods LLC, ***Civil Case Terminated. Signed by Judge Gregory B. Williams on 8/16/23. (ntl) (Entered: 08/16/2023)
08/15/23	Huber Engineered Woods LLC v. Louisiana Pacific Corp 1:19-CV-00342 ( D. DE )	STIPULATION of Dismissal by Huber Engineered Woods LLC. (Egan, Brian) (Entered: 08/15/2023)
08/14/23	Huber Engineered Woods LLC v. Louisiana Pacific Corp 1:19-CV-00342 ( D. DE )	ORAL ORDER: Having reviewed the parties' Joint Motion to Vacate (D.I. 690, "the Motion"), IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Motion is DENIED. On August 2, 2023, the parties notified the Court that they have agreed to and executed a final settlement agreement (D.I. 688). As part of the settlement agreement, the parties agreed to seek and vacate this Court's Claim Construction Order (D.I. 75; D.I. 76; D.I. 80) and the Joint Stipulation on Invalidity (D.I. 100) and subsequent Order (D.I. 101). D.I. 690. Courts in this District have applied an "exceptional circumstances" standard when determining whether to vacate a claim construction order. See, e.g., Nichia Corp. v. TCL Multimedia Tech. Holdings, Ltd., C.A. No. 16-681-RGA, D.I. 77 at 2 (D. Del. Feb. 26, 2018) (citing Cisco Systems, Inc. v. Telcordia Techs, Inc., 590 F. Supp. 2d 828, 830 (E.D. Tex. 2008)); see also Purdue Pharma LP v. Acura Pharms Inc., C.A. No. 15-292-RGA, D.I. 63 at 2 (D. Del. May 24, 2016). Here, the Court finds no exceptional circumstances present, nor have the parties argued that such circumstances exist. The Motion suggests that the standard is "good cause." D.I. 690 at 2. Assuming that is the case, the Court also finds that no good cause exists to vacate the Court's claim construction rulings, the related Joint Stipulation on invalidity, and subsequent Order. The Court recognizes that there is a strong public interest in favor of settlement, but there are serious judicial efficiency concerns if the Court grants this Motion. The Court has spent significant time rendering its claim construction Orders and the Court does not find a valid reason to vacate those Orders simply because the parties have settled. In fact, the Court believes it is promoting judicial efficiency by denying the Motion, because Plaintiff will likely face an estoppel argument and make it harder for it to assert the invalidated patents against other defendants. Ordered by Judge Gregory B. Williams on 8/14/2023.
