`
`
`IPR2021-00476
`U.S. Patent No 8,856,030
`Petitioner TikTok Inc. provides the following updated Mandatory Notices
`
`
`
`pursuant to 37 CFR § 42.8. On May 21, 2021, Judge Albright of the Western District
`
`of Texas transferred related case 10Tales, Inc. v. TikTok Inc. et al., No. 6:20-cv-810
`
`(W.D. Tex.) involving U.S. Patent No. 8,856,030 (“the ’030 Patent”) to the U.S.
`
`District Court for the Northern District of California. The case is now captioned
`
`10Tales, Inc. v. TikTok Inc. et al., No. 3:21-cv-03868 (N.D. Cal.), with an initial case
`
`management conference set for August 20, 2021, and no set trial date.
`
`Additionally, Patent Owner asserts that the case captioned US Inventor et al. v.
`
`Hirshfeld, No. 2:21-cv-00047-JRG (E.D. Tex. Feb. 8, 2021), is related to this
`
`petition. Petitioner takes no position as to the relevance of this case, as it does not
`
`relate to deciding non-infringement, invalidity, or unenforceability of the ’030
`
`Patent. To the best of Petitioner’s knowledge, no trial date has been set. To the best
`
`of Petitioner’s knowledge, there are no other related cases. The remainder of
`
`Petitioner’s mandatory notices remain unchanged.
`
`Updated Related Matters (37 C.F.R. § 42.8(b)(2))
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.8(a)(3), Petitioner hereby provides the following
`
`updated related matters of which it is currently aware:
