Plaintiffs and Counterclaim Defendants LG Electronics, USA, Inc. and LG Electronics, Inc.; and Counterclaim Defendant LG Electronics Monterrey Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (collectively "LG"), respectfully submit this memorandum in support of their motion for a mandatory, statutory stay, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1659(a), of all proceedings pertaining to Whirlpool's allegations of infringement of United States Patent Nos. 6,810,680 ("the '680 patent") and 6,915,644 ("the '644 patent") in this case until the final determination of In the Matter of Certain Refrigerators and Components Thereof, Inv. No. 337-TA-632 (the "ITC Investigation"), now pending before the United States International Trade Commission ("ITC"). INTRODUCTION Under 28 U.S.C. § 1659, a respondent in the ITC has the absolute right to stay proceedings before a district court on common issues; provided it moves for a stay within thirty days of the institution of the district court action. Because the very same parties, patents, and claims in the ITC Investigation are now pending before this Court, LG has the statutory right to stay proceedings on these patents in this Court. In response to a Complaint filed by Defendant and Counterclaim Plaintiff Whirlpool Corporation, and Counterclaim Plaintiffs Whirlpool Patents Company, Whirlpool Manufacturing Corporation, and Maytag Corporation (collectively "Whirlpool"), the ITC initiated an Investigation naming LG Electronics, USA, Inc.; LG Electronics, Inc.; & LG Electronics Monterrey Mexico, S.A. de C.V., as Respondents. In the ITC Complaint, Whirlpool alleges that LG infringes United States Patent Nos. 6,082,130 ("the '130 patent"), 6,971,730 ("the '730 patent), and 7,240,980 ("the '980 patent"), as well as the '680 and '644 patents. Before this Court, Whirlpool in its Counterclaim alleges that LG infringes the '130, '680, and '644 patents, placing those patents at issue in the present action.

ITC investigations require the consideration and resolution of additional issues not before this Court, adding to the complexity of the investigation. By statute, the trial of an ITC investigation must be completed within approximately a year, and the expenses to complete an ITC investigation are usually several millions of dollars. The ITC has no right or authority to stay an investigation in favor of a pending District Court action involving the same issues. The district courts, however, are required to stay proceedings on issues that are pending on claims before the ITC, if the respondent seeks such a stay. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1659, LG hereby requests a stay of all proceedings pertaining to the asserted '680 and '644 patents. Although LG also has the statutory right to request a stay with respect to the `130 patent, LG is not moving for a stay of the `130 patent issues. Rather, LG intends promptly to pursue resolution of the issues regarding the `130 patent. FACTUAL BACKGROUND On January 23, 2008, Whirlpool filed a complaint in the ITC ("the ITC Complaint") against LG, the Plaintiffs and Counterclaim Defendants herein, alleging patent infringement. Specifically, Whirlpool alleged that LG has infringed one or more claims of each of the '130, '680, '644, '730, and '980 patents. Exh. A. The ITC instituted Investigation No. 337-TA-632 ("the ITC Investigation") to investigate alleged infringement of one or more claims of the '130, '680, '644, '730, and '980 patents by LG's alleged "importation into the United States, the sale for importation into the United States, and/or the sale or offer for sale within the United States after importation, of refrigerators and components thereof. . ." Exh. A. LG responded to the ITC Complaint by denying the Whirlpool Defendants' allegations of infringement and raising affirmative defenses of non-infringement, unenforceability, and invalidity of the '130, '680, '644, '730, and '980 patents.

In response to the Complaint LG filed before this Court, Whirlpool filed counterclaims, adding parties and alleging infringement of several patents, including the '130, '680, and '644 patents. D.I. 8. Through that counterclaim, the very same parties in the ITC Investigation are now before this Court. And the `680 and the `644 patents, and issues relating to those patents, are now before both the ITC and this Court. In response to these circumstances, LG is exercising its right, under 28 U.S.C. § 1659(a), and asking this Court to stay all proceedings pertaining to the asserted '680 and '644 patents. LG and Whirlpool are also parties to another civil action pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, involving three of the same Whirlpool patents now before this Court. In that action, LG sought a Declaratory Judgment that it was not infringing the patents before the ITC and that those patents were invalid. In order to conserve judicial resources and to facilitate the orderly and efficient disposition of the issues between them, LG and Whirlpool have agreed to transfer the claims in the New Jersey action to this Court so that the issues may all be resolved before the same Court. LG filed a joint stipulation on May 15, 2008, to effect a transfer of the New Jersey action to this Court. When that transfer is completed, LG expects that the parties and this Court will address how best to proceed with both this case and the related case, now in New Jersey. ARGUMENT 28 U.S.C. § 1659 REQUIRES THIS COURT TO STAY CERTAIN ISSUES IN THE INSTANT LITIGATION UNTIL A FINAL DECISION IN THE ITC PROCEEDING Federal statute provides that when a common issue exists between an ITC proceeding and a district court action, any claims involving such a common issue must be stayed, if requested by

a party to the civil action that is also a respondent in the ITC proceeding. Section 1659(a) of Title 28 provides, in pertinent part: (a) Stay.--In a civil action involving parties that are also parties to a proceeding before the United States International Trade Commission under section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, at the request of a party to the civil action that is also a respondent in the proceeding before the Commission, the district court shall stay, until the determination of the Commission becomes final, proceedings in the civil action with respect to any claim that involves the same issues involved in the proceeding before the Commission, but only if such request is made within-(1) 30 days after the party is named as a respondent in the proceeding before the Commission, or (2) 30 days after the district court action is filed, whichever is later. (Emphasis added). The mandatory stay lasts "until the [ITC] proceedings are no longer subject to judicial review." In re Princo Corp., 478 F.3d 1345, 1355 (Fed. Cir. 2007). Section 1659(a) specifically provides for stays "with respect to any claim that involves the same issues as those pending before the Commission." H.R. Rep. 103-826(I), at 141. Here, all the requirements of Section 1659(a) have been met, obligating this Court to stay all proceedings related to the '680 and '644 patents. Specifically, and as set forth in Section 1659(a): 1. Same Parties. Whirlpool's allegations of infringement regarding the `680 and the `644 patent in its Counterclaims before this Court "involv[e] parties that are also parties to a proceeding before the United States International Trade Commission under Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 . . . ." 2. Same Issues. Whirlpool's allegations of infringement regarding the `680 and the

`644 patent in its Counterclaims before this Court "involve[ ] the same issues involved in the proceeding before the Commission . . . ."

Requested Stay by Respondent in ITC Investigation. LG's election under

section 1659(a) is the "request of a party to the civil action that is also a respondent in the proceeding before the Commission . . . ." 4. LG's Section 1659(a) Election is Timely. LG's election under section 1659(a) is

made within "30 days after the district court action is filed." Accordingly, because each of the requirements of Section 1659(a) is met, this Court "shall stay" all proceedings pertaining to the asserted claims of the '680 and '644 patents "until the determination of the Commission becomes final . . . ." 28 U.S.C. § 1659(a). CONCLUSION For the reasons set forth above, LG respectfully requests that this Court stay all proceedings pertaining to the '680 and '644 patents in this case until the ITC's determination in In the Matter of Certain Refrigerators and Components Thereof, Inv. No. 337-TA-632, becomes final and is no longer subject to judicial review. ASHBY & GEDDES Of Counsel: Richard L. Stroup Patrick J. Coyne Anand K. Sharma Walter D.
