Washington, D.C. – Paul Hastings LLP has secured a significant victory for its client Chevron Oronite Company,.L.C in a patent dispute against Infineum USA L.P, over lubricating oil used in internal combustion engines, invalidating a patent asserted against Chevron. Partner and Global Vice Chair of the Intellectual Property practice, Naveen Modi led the Paul Hastings IP team in parallel district court litigation, at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), and in the appeal.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed a decision by the PTAB finding all of the claims of

### 7/20/22 Case 22-50073 Doc 644-17 Filed 07/29/22 13:36:15 Page 9 of 42

Infineum's patent to be unpatentable. Among other things, the appeals court affirmed the PTAB's finding that Infineum's claimed oil composition was unpatentable as obvious. The court also rejected Infineum's procedural and constitutional-based claims.

The case arose when Infineum - a New Jersey-based joint venture of ExxonMobil and Shell -- sued California-based Chevron Oronite in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, arguing the company was manufacturing lubricating oil in violation of its patent No. 6,723,685). The Paul Hastings team convinced the district court to stay the suit pending a challenge to the validity of the patent by Chevron before the PTAB. The team then obtained a successful result at the PTAB, and on appeal.

The case is captioned Infineum USA L.P. v. Chevron Oronite Company LLC. The Paul Hastings team was led by Naveen Modi and included Stephen B. Kinnaird, Igor Timofeyev, Michael Wolfe, Daniel Zeilberger, and Scott Peachman.

The Paul Hastings IP Practice consistently receives including the Patent Office group's recognition as "Post-Grant Firm of the Year," by IAM Magazine and Naveen Modi being named a Law360 "Intellectual Property MVP."

In addition, Derwin was part of the team advising Cory Riverside Energy, one of the UK's leading resource management, recycling, and energy recovery companies, on its additional Capex Facility, having previously advised on its acquisition refinancing in 2018. The transaction, completed in November, involved a consent process with the existing lender group and incremental long dated fixed rate and RPI-linked institutional facilities.

Discussing the recent activity, Steven Bryan, said:

"The number of completed deals demonstrates the growing strength of the Energy and Infrastructure practice at the firm. The practice was enhanced by Derwin's arrival in the London office in September last year, bringing with him many of his longstanding clients, including Angel Trains and Cory Riverside Energy.

The work we have achieved in the past few months is testament to the teams' depth and breadth, in cross border infrastructure M&A and office collaboration and in infrastructure finance, and has been reflective of the teams' truly collective mind-set."

Arun Birla, Chair of Paul Hastings' London office commented:

"The growth and success of the London-based Energy and Infrastructure practice has been reflective of the wider goals of the firm: providing the highest quality service regionally while collaborating with our colleagues globally to service our clients worldwide in the most innovative manner possible. Derwin has fortified the existing team at the firm, adding to its extensive experience and propelling the pace of activity in the last few months".

At Paul Hastings, our purpose is clear - to help our clients and people navigate new paths to growth. With a strong presence throughout Asia, Europe, Latin America, and the U.S., Paul Hastings is recognised as one of the world's most innovative global law firms.

Hong Kong – Paul Hastings, a leading global law firm, announced today that it has advised COSCO SHIPPING Development Co., Ltd. (Stock Code: 2866.HK and 601866.SH) ("COSCO SHIPPING Development") on its acquisition of 100% equity interests from COSCO SHIPPING Investment Holdings Co., Ltd. ("COSCO SHIPPING fnvestment") in its four wholly-owned subsidiaries principally engaged in, among other things, the manufacturing of dry freight, specialized and refrigerated containers, and the provision of technical and development services of container manufacturing. The unaudited aggregate net asset value of the aforementioned target companies as at 31 December 2020 was approximately RMB3.1 billion (approximately US\$480 million). The final consideration for the acquisition will be determined with reference to the appraised value of the target assets and will be settled by the allotment and issuance of new A shares by the Company to COSCO SHIPPING Investment.

్రేశ

In connection with the acquisition, COSCO SHIPPING Development also proposes to conduct a non-public issuance of A shares to not more than 35 specific target subscribers to raise ancillary funds, including the proposed issuance to China Shipping Group Company Limited ("China Shipping") for RMB600 million (approximately US\$93 million). China Shipping is the controlling shareholder of COSCO SHIPPING Development and is principally engaged in coastal and ocean cargo transportation, container transportation, import and export business and international freight agency business.

The transaction involves several complex legal issues under the Takeovers Code. Upon completion of the allotment and issuance of new A shares to COSCO SHIPPING Investment, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of China COSCO SHIPPING Corporation Limited ("COSCO SHIPPING"), under the acquisition, COSCO SHIPPING will be required to make a mandatory general offer under Rule 26.1 of the Takeovers Code, unless a whitewash waiver is obtained. In addition, as the proposed non-public issuance of A shares is not capable of being extended to all shareholders, it constitutes a special deal under Rule 25 of the Takeovers Code.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Feb. 24, 2021) -- A dual-pronged effort by Paul Hastings litigators has achieved a decisive victory on behalf of Samsung Electronics at the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office, which invalidated challenged claims of six patents for wireless phone charging, five of which had been asserted by NuCurrent Inc.

The Paul Hastings lawyers first earned a win for Samsung, successfully petitioning to move the litigation from its original filing jurisdiction in the Eastern District of Texas to the Southern District of New York, and then defeating NuCurrent's request for a preliminary injunction, aimed at stopping inter partes review at the USPTO. The Paul Hastings lawyers won across the board for Samsung, with the PTAB finding a total of 170 claims unpatentable, including all of the claims that NuCurrent accused Samsung of infringing. They also thwarted NuCurrent's multiple attempts at amending several claims during the course of the proceedings.

The PTAB effort has been led by partner Naveen Modi, global vice chair of Paul Hastings' IP Group and head of the firm's Patent Office practice, and IP Litigation partner, Joseph Palys, along with attorneys Paul Anderson, Chetan Bansal, Howard Herr, and David Valente.

The district court litigation team has been led by partners Allan Soobert and Jeff Pade, along with partner Mark Pollack and attorneys Tad Richman, David Valente, and Yejun Lee.

The outcome reflects the seamless fusion of the firm's IP litigation and PTAB expertise. It followed a coordinated, multifaceted strategy, with Los Angeles partner Jong Han Kim overseeing all aspects of the case.

### Background on Samsung-NuCurrent Litigation

Samsung and NuCurrent had at one time discussed a business collaboration, but ultimately did not proceed. After Samsung released multiple iterations of smartphones with wireless charging coils, NuCurrent filed a lawsuit in the plaintiff-friendly Eastern District of Texas, claiming infringement of its patents and misappropriation of trade secrets for coiled antennas that facilitate wireless charging.

The Paul Hastings litigation team flipped the script and successfully argued that the companies' non-disclosure agreement mandated the case be transferred and heard in the district court of New York, rather than NuCurrent's preferred venue in Texas. Samsung then moved for review of the disputed patents at the PTAB, arguing that NuCurrent's claims were invalidated by obviousness and inadequate written description.

NuCurrent sought to block the PTAB proceedings by moving for a preliminary injunction, arguing that the NDA likewise required any validity challenges to occur in New York, not the Patent Office. The Paul Hastings team defeated the preliminary injunction, convincing the New York court that the proper interpretation did not preclude invalidity challenges before the PTAB---paving the way for the patents to be challenged and invalidated. During the PTAB proceedings, NuCurrent attempted to amend some of its claims in an effort to save its patents, but its two rounds of motions to amend were also rejected as the PTAB agreed with the Paul Hastings arguments across the board.

Ultimately, the PTAB issued nine final decisions covering six patents in three families, finding all of them invalid and unpatentable due to anticipation, obviousness, indefiniteness, lack of written description, or combinations thereof.

The Samsung win comes on the heels of the IP Practice securing a significant victory for Chevron Oronite Company, over lubricating oil used in internal combustion engines, invalidating a patent asserted against Chevron. There, Naveen Modi led the Paul Hastings IP team in parallel district court litigation, at the appeal.

The Paul Hastings IP Practice is ranked Tier 1 nationally for IP and Patent Litigation by numerous publications, including The Legal 500 and Managing IP. The Legal 500 also has recognized the firm's Tractice in their Intellectual Property - Trade Secrets (litigation and non-contentious matters) ranking.

Paul Hastings IP lawyers have been selected numerous times as Law360's "Most Valuable Players" and as Trailblazers by The National Law Journal, The Recorder, The New York Law Journal, and The Daily Journal. IAM also regularly recognizes Paul Hastings' IP practice among "The World's Leading Patent Professionals," for patent Iltigation, Federal Circuit appeals, ITC 337 Investigations, and post-grant proceedings. BTF Consulting lists the IP Practice as a "Go-To Litigation Firm" and "Best for Complex IP Litigation" in its annual "Intellectual Property Outlook" report. Paul Hastings' IP Practice has also been recognized as the "IP Transallantic Team of the Year" by The American Lawyer.
