MAILED patent report with certified copy of minute order dated 3/18/25 to Patent Trademark Office, Alexandria VA

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Joan B. Gottschall: At approximately 11:33 AM on March 17, 2025, plaintiff filed a notice 30 of voluntary dismissal of this case "with prejudice." Plaintiff corrected 31 its notice of voluntary dismissal on the same date at approximately 1:38 PM to clarify that it intends to dismiss this case "without prejudice." Although the first notice of voluntary dismissal was self-effectuating, the Supreme Court recently held that a voluntary dismissal under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure Rule 41(a) is subject to reopening under Rule 60(b). Waetzig v. Halliburton Energy Servs., Inc., 145 S. Ct. 690, 700 (2025). This court therefore construes plaintiff's second notice of voluntary dismissal 31 as a Rule 60(b)(1) motion to set aside the first notice of dismissal based on mistake or inadvertence, grants the motion, and clarifies the record to reflect that this case has been dismissed without prejudice. Plaintiff's motion 27 for a temporary restraining order is denied as moot. Civil case terminated. To preserve plaintiff's ability to refile this action, all presently sealed documents will remain sealed for six months, until and including September 17, 2025. If plaintiff does not file a motion to extend the seal on or before September 17, 2025, all presently sealed documents will be unsealed on September 18, 2025.Mailed notice

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Joan B. Gottschall: Having reviewed plaintiff's memorandum 28 in support of its motion 27 for temporary restraining order, plaintiff's arguments seem to be focused entirely on its copyright infringement claim and not on its patent infringement claim pleaded in its amended complaint. Before ruling on the copyright infringement claim, plaintiff will be given an opportunity to withdraw its memorandum and refile within seven days a memorandum addressed to both its claims, unless plaintiff wishes to proceed only on its copyright infringement claim.
