WHEREAS Plaintiff Windy City Innovations, LLC ("Windy City") filed a Complaint on June 

2, 2015 in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of North Carolina alleging patent 

infringement against Facebook, Inc. ("Facebook") of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,407,356, 8,458,245, 

8,473,552, and 8,694,657 (Doc. No. 1); 

WHEREAS this action was transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of 

California on April 6, 2016 (Doc. No. 32); 

WHEREAS the Court stayed this action pending decisions by the Patent Trial and Appeal 

Board (PTAB) with respect to Inter Partes Review petitions filed by Facebook (Doc. No. 76); 

WHEREAS after issuance of Final Written Decisions by the PTAB, and completion of fact 

and expert discovery, the case proceeded as to only U.S. Pat. No. 8,458,245 (the “’245 patent”); 

WHEREAS on February 12, 2018, the Court denied Windy City’s request to substitute or 

otherwise amend its list of asserted claims in light of the PTAB’s decisions; 

WHEREAS the PTAB’s final written decisions concerning the validity of U.S. Patent Nos.

WHEREAS on September 24, 2019, the Court issued an order granting summary judgment as 

to the '245 patent claims 19, 22, 23, 24, and 25 based on lack of subject matter eligibility (Doc. No.
