`Re:
`
`
`
`Jawbone Innovations, LLC v. Apple Inc., Case No. 6:21-cv-00984
`
`Counsel:
`
`We write regarding a petition for inter partes review (IPR) being filed with the Patent
`Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) to address claims of U.S. Patent No. 8,467,543 (“the
`’543 patent”). The table below lists grounds asserted by Apple Inc. (“Apple”) in the
`IPR2022-00865 petition challenging claims of this patent, along with the implicated
`claims against which the grounds are asserted.
`
`We write to inform you that Apple hereby stipulates that in the event the PTAB
`institutes an inter partes review based on the IPR2022-00865 petition and including
`the grounds listed in the table below against the corresponding claims listed in the
`table for those grounds (“Instituted Grounds”), then Apple will not seek resolution in
`the above-captioned district court litigation (6:21-cv-00984) of the Instituted Grounds
`against the corresponding claims listed in the table for those same grounds.

`
`In so stipulating, Apple seeks to avoid multiple proceedings addressing the validity of
`the ’543 patent based on the same grounds. Rather, Apple wishes the patentability of
`this patent over the above-identified Grounds to be addressed at the PTAB. But, for
`the sake of clarity and to avoid any doubt, if the PTAB declines institution of Apple’s
`IPR petition relating to the ’543 patent, Apple reserves the right to seek resolution of
`the above-identified Grounds in the above-captioned district court litigation (6:21-cv-
`00984).
