`
`UPDATED MANDATORY NOTICES
`
`A. Related Matters under 37 C.F.R. § 42.8(b)(2).
`
`GAT filed complaints against Petitioners alleging infringement of the ‘649
`
`Patent in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, on July 9,
`
`2015. (GAT v. Blizzard, No. 2:15-cv-1257-RWS-RSP; GAT v. Riot, No. 2:15-cv-
`
`1258-RWS-RSP.) Against Blizzard, GAT also alleged infringement of U.S. Patent
`
`Nos. 7,682,243 (“the ‘243 Patent”) and 8,235,743 (“the ‘743 Patent”). Against
`
`Riot, GAT also alleged infringement of the ‘743 Patent. Riot was served with a
`
`Complaint asserting the ‘649 Patent on October 12, 2015. On July 9, 2015, GAT
`
`filed further complaints alleging infringement of the ‘243 Patent against
`
`Wargaming Group Ltd. (GAT v. Wargaming, No. 2:15-cv-1260), and the ‘743
`
`Patent against Valve Corporation (GAT v. Valve, 2:15-cv-1259), both in the U.S.
`
`District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. Each of the Blizzard, Riot, Valve,
`
`and Wargaming cases were consolidated for pretrial purposes in the Eastern
`
`District of Texas. On August 5, 2016, the Court transferred the Blizzard, Riot, and
`
`Wargaming cases to the Central District of California (GAT v. Riot, 2:16-cv-6486;
`
`1
`
`

`
`GAT v. Blizzard, 2:16-cv-6499; GAT v. Wargaming, 2:16-cv-6554). The Court
`
`also transferred the Valve case to the Western District of Washington (GAT v.
`
`Valve, 2:16-cv-1382). The Blizzard, Riot, and Wargaming cases are all currently
`
`assigned to Judge Beverly O’Connell in the Central District of California.
`
`In addition to the present Petition, Activision Blizzard, Inc. is filing a
`
`petition for IPR on the ‘243 patent, and Petitioners are filing a petition for IPR on
`
`the ‘743 patent. (Case numbers to be determined.)
`
`Finally, U.S. Patent Application No. 14/731,006—a continuation of the
`
`application that matured into the ‘649 patent—is also currently being prosecuted
`
`before the USPTO.
