`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. 8,019,091. The
`table below lists grounds asserted by Apple Inc. (“Apple”) in the IPR2022-01147
`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 IPR2022-01147 petition and including
`the grounds listed in the table below against the corresponding claims listed in the
`table for those grounds (“Instituted Grounds”), 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 grounds.

`
`
`In so stipulating, Apple seeks to avoid multiple proceedings addressing the validity of
`the ’091 patent based on the same grounds. Rather, Apple wishes the patentability of
`this patent over the Instituted 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 ’091 patent, Apple reserves the right to seek resolution of the
`Instituted Grounds in the above-captioned district court litigation (6:21-cv-00984).
