Griffin (Claim No. 177) …,” of September 5, 2019. D.I. 1329 (“Class Settlement Order”). In the Class Settlement Order, the Court (1) approved the assignment, to the Class, by Debtors Fuhu, Inc. and Fuhu Holdings, Inc. (together, the “Fuhu Defendants”) of the Fuhu Defendants’ rights against the Underwriters under the Media Policy (“Media Policy Assignment”), (2) approved notice to the Class, a copy of which is available at D.I. 1327 at 36-43 of 60 (“Class Notice”), about how monies obtained from the Underwriters would be distributed to the Class and to Class Counsel, id. at 41; see also id. at 3-5 & 36-43 (explanation of notice plan), and (3) retained jurisdiction over “all matters arising from or related to the interpretation, implementation or enforcement of the terms and provisions of this Stipulation...” D.I. 1329 ¶ 13; 1329-1 ¶ 52. Prior to the Court’s Class Settlement Order, Class Notice was disseminated to the Class, which informed Class members of the Media Policy Assignment and of how any funds that might be obtained from the Underwriters (“Media Policy Proceeds”) would be distributed to the Class and Class Counsel. D.I. 1327 at 36-43. The method of distribution described in the Class Notice is further discussed below. No person objected. D.I. 1328. The Court then issued the Class Settlement Order. D.I. 1329. Subsequent to the Class Settlement Order, the Class and the Underwriters attended a mediation and agreed to the Stipulation to resolve all claims that had been assigned to the Class regarding the Media Policy against the Underwriters. In the Stipulation, the Underwriters agreed to make a monetary payment of $1,800,000.00 for the benefit of the Class (“Media Policy Settlement Fund”) in exchange for a release by the Class of claims against the Underwriters and 2 Case 15-12465-CSS Doc 1481 Filed 11/16/20 Page 3 of 24 of all of their agents, brokers, employees, officers, counsel, representatives, insurers, reinsurers, corporate affiliates (including without limitation Lloyd’s of London, CFC Underwriting Limited and all persons and entities listed on the declarations page of the Media Policy) (collectively, the “Underwriter Parties”). Class Counsel requests this Court now approve the Stipulation and further approve the distribution of the Media Policy Settlement Fund pursuant to the terms of the Class Notice previously approved by the Court, as follows: (i) $21,320.00 to the Claim Administrator for costs associated with distribution of the funds to Class Members who previously submitted valid claims (“Administration Costs”); (ii) attorneys’ fees to Plaintiffs’ Counsel in the amount of $720,000, representing 40% of the Media Policy Settlement Fund; (iii) costs to Class Counsel in the amount of $27,225.54, ; and (iv) pro rata payments to persons who previously filed valid Class Settlement Claims, computed so that the amount paid for each Tablet reflected in a Defective Tablet Claim (as defined below) shall be three times the amount paid for each Tablet reflected in a Non-Defective Tablet Claim (as defined below). JURISDICTION AND VENUE 1. This Court has jurisdiction to consider this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 157. In particular, because the Stipulation resolves disputes between the Class on one hand, and the Underwriters for the Debtors on the other hand, and because this Court has previously (1) certified the Class, (2) approved a settlement assigning to the Class the Fuhu Defendants’ rights against the Underwriters, and (3) retained jurisdiction over the implementation of that Assignment, this Stipulation presents, at a minimum, core matters regarding the liquidation of Estate assets under 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2)(O) and non-core matters that are otherwise related to this bankruptcy case pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(3). The Class Representatives and the Underwriter Parties (collectively “Stipulating Parties”) have consented in the Stipulation to the 3 Case 15-12465-CSS Doc 1481 Filed 11/16/20 Page 4 of 24 Bankruptcy Court’s jurisdiction with respect to all matters arising from or related to the interpretation, implementation, or enforcement of the terms and provisions of the Stipulation and to adjudicate, if necessary, all disputes in connection therewith. See Exhibit 1 at ¶ 13. The Stipulating Parties have also consented in the Stipulation to the entry of a final order on the Stipulation by the Bankruptcy Court, if it is determined that the Bankruptcy Court, absent consent of the parties, cannot enter a final order consistent with Article III of the U.S. Constitution. See Del. Bankr. L. R. 9013-1(f).

  • Tablets for Kids
    Tablets for Kids Which deliver the most bang for the buck? By WARREN BUCKLEITNER The Chicago O’Hare TSA agent was curious, eying the stack of colorful tablets I was trying to hurry through airport screening. I took a guess. “You have kids?” “Yep,” he said, “and I’m thinking about getting her one of those” he motioned at my tablets, arranged two per bin in a nice line. “You have a favorite?” I only had a few seconds, so I blurted the conclusion of this article. Spring for “real” tablet -- a Google Nexus 7 or a Amazon Kindle Fire HD (both $200)... or if you can afford it, the iPad Mini ($330). These will give you the biggest bang for your buck.” “But it doesn’t have one of those colorful silicon bumpers” he said. “Don’t worry, they’re coming” I said. “Start with the apps the device can run.” Here’s a rundown on all the latest children’s tablets. As you can see, there’s a lot of news. To help sort it out, we created a rubric to generate ratings, not unlike the way we review software. Keep in mind that this is a quickly emerging category of products. Prices, features and app availability will change, so shop around for the latest prices. RATING THE TABLETS WHAT IS A TABLET, ANYWAY? Here are the six criteria we used to generate the ratings for this For this roundup, we used a broad interpretation of the word article. “tablet.” In this case it’s generally a mobile device that might fight in a child’s pocket.

Fuhu brings this action in its presumptively convenient home district, 6 Piper Aircraft Co. v. Reyno, 454 U.S. 235, 255 (1981), seeking relief against what 7 the June 2013 White House report “Patent Assertion and U.S. Innovation” refers to 8 as a patent assertion entity (“PAE”) or “patent troll.” Attached hereto as Exhibit 1 9 is a true and correct copy of “Patent Assertion and U.S. Innovation,” Executive 10 Office of the President, June 2013. 11 3. As described in the White House’s “Patent Assertion and U.S. 12 Innovation” report, the PAE business model is generally seen as combining 13 characteristics such as the following: 14 They do not “practice” their patents; that is, they do not do research or 15 develop any technology or products related to their patents; 16 They do not help with “technology transfer” (the process of translating 17 the patent language into a usable product or process); 18 They often wait until after industry participants have made irreversible 19 investments before asserting their claims; 20 They acquire patents
