`
`PURSUANT TO 35 U.S.C. § 317
`
`

`
`Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317(a), Petitioner Apple Inc. (“Apple”) and Patent
`
`Owner Longitude Flash Memory Systems S.A.R.L. (“Longitude”) jointly request
`
`termination of IPR2015-01933 directed to U.S. Patent No. 6,831,865. Exclusive
`
`licensee Longitude Licensing Ltd. joins this request.
`
`A Stipulation Dismissing with Prejudice between Apple and Longitude has
`
`been made in writing, and a true copy of the same is attached as Exhibit 1041. Apple
`
`and Longitude jointly certify that no agreements exist between the parties that are
`
`made in connection with, or in contemplation of, the termination of the instant
`
`proceedings, other than the Stipulation Dismissing with Prejudice attached here as
`
`Exhibit 1041.
`
`In accordance with 35 U.S.C. § 317(a), because Apple and Longitude jointly
`
`request this termination as to Apple’s involvement in this Inter Partes Review, no
`
`estoppel under 35 U.S.C. § 315(e) shall attach to Apple.

`
`dismissal with prejudice of the Litigation with respect to all of the claims involving
`
`
`
`
