01/24/25	Horizon Global Americas Inc v. Northern Stamping Inc 1:20-CV-00310 ( N.D. OH )	Order [non-document] The Court has reviewed the status reports filed by the parties. (Doc. Nos. [92] and [93] .) Plaintiff indicates that it "is considering dismissing this lawsuit in the interest of efficient resolution;" that it "believes dismissing its remaining claims would resolve all material issues and bring swift conclusion to this nearly five-year-old suit;" and asks this Court to hold a status conference "to discuss possible dismissal." (Doc. No. 93, PageID #s 3597-98.) Defendant asserts that Plaintiff's "asserted claims of the 585 patent have been adjudged invalid;" the corresponding infringement claims must be dismissed with prejudice;" and that "[t]he asserted claims of the 050 patent, which are broader than those claims already invalidated in the IPR, should be held invalid. Defendant represents that if Plaintiff will not concede that the asserted claims of the 050 patent should be held invalid, then it intends to promptly seek summary judgment of the invalidity of the 050 patent." (Doc. No. 92, PageID # 3589.) Defendant also asserts that Plaintiff's pending motion to amend its infringement contentions (doc. no. [63] ) should be denied, that it has asked Plaintiff to withdraw it, but Plaintiff has not responded. (Id., PageID #s 3592-93.) Defendant is also intent on seeking attorneys' fees and conducting discovery associated therewith. (Id. PageID # 3595.) A Status Conference is set for February 5, 2025, at 1:30 PM. Local counsel is ordered to attend the Status Conference in-person in Judge Barkers Chambers. National counsel is ordered to attend the Status Conference but may attend telephonically. The Court will provide counsel, via email, with instructions for accessing the conference call. During the Status Conference, the parties shall be prepared to discuss next steps, to include the potential for mediation, whether Plaintiff will dismiss its claims and the procedural mechanism for dismissal given Defendant's counterclaims, and the attorneys' fees and discovery that Defendant seeks and the proposed time frames associated with any such discovery and briefing.
