ii CASE NO. 3:12-cv-00355-GPC-BLM MOTOROLAS MEM. OF P. AND A. ISO MOT. FOR PSJ RE MOTOROLAS PATENTS AS APPLIED TO CERTAIN TECHNOLOGY
I.
INTRODUCTION Defendant, Motorola Mobility LLC (Motorola) moves for partial summary
judgment that any injunction that may issue in this case cannot cover Motorolas patents as applied to .
Apple alleges that it is a third party beneficiary under a Patent License Agreement between Qualcomm and Motorola entered in 1990 and subsequently amended (referred to, as amended, herein as the PLA). Apple seeks to have the Court enter a permanent injunction restraining Motorola from prosecuting future (and presently nonexistent) patent infringement lawsuits against Apple outside of this Court and outside of Germany based on Apples use of Qualcomm components purportedly in contravention of the PLA. Motorola strenuously disputes Apples position and the grant of any injunction. However, even if Apple were to prevail in establishing rights, and even if the Court were to decide to issue a permanent injunction, Motorola moves the Court for partial summary judgment that the scope of any injunction could not encompass a prohibition against Motorolas future assertion of its patents as they apply to against Apples products due to their inclusion of Qualcomm components. When Apple filed its Original Complaint on February 10, 2012, Motorola moved to dismiss on March 7, 2012 based in part on the fact that Apple failed to plead facts or argument supporting its required relief. See ECF Document Doc. No. 17 at 22. Apple withdrew its original Complaint and filed its First Amended Complaint on April 2, 2012. Motorola again moved to dismiss on the bases that Apples breach of contract claim was not ripe (see ECF Document No. 37 at p. 10-11) and Apples Declaratory Judgment claims were not ripe because they were based on speculative fear of future harm. Motorolas Motion to Dismiss Apples First Amended Complaint (id. 11-14). The Court granted Motorolas Motion to Dismiss as the breach of contract claim as presently pled is not ripe. July 1 CASE NO. 3:12-cv-00355-GPC-BLM MOTOROLAS MEM. OF P. AND A. ISO MOT. FOR PSJ RE MOTOROLAS PATENTS AS APPLIED TO CERTAIN TECHNOLOGY
17, 2013 Order Granting Defendants Motion to Dismiss with Leave to Amend (ECF Document No. 65). Regarding the declaratory relief claims, the Court found [a]s presently pled, the declaratory relief claims are therefore too vague and broad to be justiciable. Id. at 6. Apple then filed its Second Amended Complaint to add more particularity to its Counts. ECF Document No. 69. None of the counts in Apples Second Amended Complaint are Id. at 15-21 59-86. However, Apple
failed to amend its prayer for relief, especially with regard to the injunctive relief that it seeks. Apples present Prayer includes a broad and vague prayer for an injunction: F. Permanent injunctive relief restraining Motorola and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, agents, employees, servants, licensors, successors, assigns, and all those acting in concert with them, from prosecuting patent infringement proceedings against Apple based on Apples use of Qualcomm components licensed under Motorola patents in any forum outside of this Court and outside of the Federal Republic of Germany in violation of the Qualcomm-Motorola license agreement. Id. at p. 22. Motorolas patents as they apply are unambiguously carved out from
any rights that Apple contentd it has under the PLA as a matter of law. Accordingly, Motorola sought a clarification from Apple of the specifics of the injunction that Apple seeks: INTERROGATORY NO. 18 Please state, with specificity, the full scope of the injunction that Apple seeks in this case, including whether and the extent to which Apple seeks to enjoin Motorola from enforcing Motorolas patents, and state the factual and legal basis therefor, including an IDENTIFICATION of all evidence (including all Documents) supporting, refuting, or otherwise relating to the foregoing. Chassman Dec.,1 Ex. 1 (Apples August 15, 2012 Response to Motorolas Interrogatory No. 18) at 3-4 [005-006]. In response, Apple sidestepped the question in All citations to exhibits are to the Declaration of Peter J. Chassman filed concurrently herewith.

Therefore, even if this Court were to issue an injunction in this case, as a matter of law, such an injunction could not preclude Motorola from asserting its patents as they apply Apples products due to their inclusion of Qualcomm components. Motorolas motion is supported by this memorandum and the undisputed evidence submitted with this motion. Motorola moves the Court to issue summary 4 CASE NO. 3:12-cv-00355-GPC-BLM MOTOROLAS MEM.

If contractual terms are unambiguous, contract interpretation is an issue of law and is properly resolved by the court by summary judgment. Nat. Union Fire Ins. Co., of Pittsburgh, Penn. v. Argonaut Ins. Co., 701 F.2d 95, 9697 (9th Cir. 1983); Beck Park Apts. v. U.S. Dept. of Housing & Urban Dev., 695 F.2d 366, 369 (9th Cir. 1982). Further, the determination of whether a contractual term is ambiguous is also an issue of law for the court. United States v. Sacramento Mun. Util. Dist., 652 F.2d 1341, 134344 (9th Cir.1981); Beck Park Apts. V. U.S. Dept. of Housing & Urban Dev., 695 F.2d 366, 369 (9th Cir. 1982); see also Travelers Cas. & Sur. Co. v. Am. Intl Surplus lines Ins. Co., 465 F. Supp. 2d 1005, 1012 (S.D. Cal. 2006) (When a contract is not ambiguous, summary judgment may be entered based on the courts interpretation of clear and unambiguous provisions which present only questions of law.); GBTI, Inc. v. Ins. Co. of State of Penn., 2011 WL 1332165, at *4 (E.D. Cal. April 5, 2011) (Interpretation of clear and unambiguous provisions in a contract is a question of law for the court, allowing summary judgment/ adjudication). [I]t is the lack of ambiguity within the express terms of the contract that forecloses any genuine issues of material fact. Hickey v. A.E. Staley Mfg., 995 F.2d 1385, 1389 (9th Cir. 1993). IV.

CONCLUSION For the foregoing reasons, Motorolas respectfully requests that the Court grant
summary judgment in favor of Motorola that, as a matter of law, no relief in this case can include an injunction or declaration of rights that includes Motorolas patents as they apply
