AMENDED JUDGMENT— Case Nos. MDL-1423, 04-04359 

2

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 Americom Inc. does not

infringe either patent. 

The court's judgment did not address the remaining declaratory judgment counterclaims

brought by defendant Americom, Inc. against plaintiff seeking declarations that the patents are

invalid under 35 U.S.C. §§ 102, 103 and 112 and the counterclaims against third-party defendants

International Discount Telecommunications Corporation and World Link Solutions, Inc. 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 against plaintiff have been rendered moot and will only become

ripe for decision if this judgment is reversed. The viability of, or at least the extent of any damages

recoverable on, the claims for indemnity will depend on the outcome of any appeal by plaintiff of

the final judgment entered pursuant to the direction above.

Americom, Inc.'s third-party indemnification claims are stayed pending the resolution of any

appeal by plaintiff of the final judgment entered pursuant to the direction above, or further order of

the court, without prejudice to a later request to remand the indemnification claims to the originating

district court, the United States District Court, District of Utah.
