`Re:
`
`Intellectual Ventures I LLC et al. v. Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company,
`Case No. 6:21-cv-00226-ADA (W.D. Tex.)
`
`Dear Paul:
`
`On behalf of Defendant Hewlett Packard Enterprise (“HPE”) in the above-referenced case (“the
`Litigation”), we write regarding a petition for inter partes review (“IPR”) that HPE intends to file
`with the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”) to address claims 1, 2, 4, 5, 19, and 20 of U.S.
`Patent No. 6,816,464 (the “Petition”). The Petition advances grounds of unpatentability based on:
`
` U.S. Patent No. 6,748,433 to Yaakov;
` U.S. Patent No. 6,868,094 to Bordonaro;
`International Publication No. WO 98/58474 to Hultgren; and
`
` Red Hat Linux 6 Unleashed: From Knowledge to Mastery by D. Pitts et al.
`(collectively “the References”).
`
`We write to inform you that HPE, as real party-in-interest (“RPI”) in the Petition, hereby stipulates
`that in the event the PTAB institutes an IPR based on the Petition, HPE will not rely on the
`References in the Litigation to challenge the validity of the claims addressed in the Petition,
`namely claims 1, 2, 4, 5, 19, and 20 of U.S. Patent No. 6,816,464.
`
`By so stipulating, HPE seeks to avoid multiple proceedings addressing the validity of claims 1, 2,
`4, 5, 19, and 20 of U.S. Patent No. 6,816,464 based on the References. But, for the sake of clarity
`and to avoid any doubt, if the PTAB declines to institute an IPR based on the Petition, HPE
`reserves its right to challenge the validity of claims 1, 2, 4, 5, 19, and 20 of U.S. Patent No.
`6,816,464 based on the References in the Litigation. Additionally, even in the event of institution,
`HPE reserves its right to rely on any prior art other than the References in the Litigation.
