Case 1:04—cv—01436-JJF Document 131 Filed 07/16/2007 Page 2 of 3
On January 19, 2007, St. Clair tiled an action in the United States International Trade
Commission (“ITC") asserting that Kodak infringes U.S. Patent Nos. 5,138,459, 6,094,219,
6,233,010, 6,323,899, and 6,496,222. On February 22, 2007, Kodak moved to stay St. C1air’s
ITC case pending the determination of ownership of the patents by the court in the California
Action. On May 11, 2007, the Administrative Law Judge issued an order staying the ITC action
pending resolution of ownership in the California Action. St. Clair tiled a petition for review on
May 18, 2007, requesting that the Commission review and lift the stay. On June 20, 2007, the
Commission stated that it would not consider St. Clair’s petition. The ITC action remains
stayed.
