AMENDED JUDGMENT

On March 30, 2007, pursuant to its Claim Construction Order and Orders on Various

Summary Judgment Motions dated March 29, 2007, the court purported to enter final judgment

declaring that the patents-in-suit, U.S. Patent No. 5,883,964 and U.S. Patent No. 6,035,027, are

invalid under the on-sale bar of 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) and that defendant A.M.S. Voicecom, Inc. and

World Link Companies do not infringe either patent.

AMENDED JUDGMENT— Case Nos. MDL-1423, 03-04003 

2

The court's judgment did not address the remaining: (1) declaratory judgment counterclaims

brought by defendant A.M.S. Voicecom, Inc. against plaintiff seeking declarations that the patents

are invalid under 35 U.S.C. §§ 102, 103 and 112 and unenforceable due to inequitable conduct; (2)

A.M.S. Voicecom Inc.'s counterclaim seeking relief for antitrust violations; and (3) the

counterclaims between A.M.S. Voicecom, Inc. and World Link Companies for indemnity. The court

inadvertently failed to include a direction for final entry of judgment pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. §

54(b) on the claims resolved. Therefore, the court hereby directs that final judgment be entered: (1)

declaring the '964 and '027 patents invalid based upon the on-sale bar; and (2) adjudging that

plaintiff take nothing on its claim of patent infringement. The court expressly determines that there

is no just reason for delay in the entry of final judgment because the remaining declaratory judgment

counterclaims have been rendered moot and will only become ripe for decision if this judgment is

reversed. Defendants do not intend to pursue their indemnity counterclaims and defendant A.M.S.

Voicecom does not intend to pursue its antitrust counterclaim if the judgment entered pursuant to the

direction above is affirmed.
