`
`Dear Board:
`
`I am counsel represen�ng Pe��oner Meta Pla�orms, Inc. in IPR2023-01127, IPR2023-01084, and
`IPR2023-01128, challenging the validity of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,019,091; 8,321,213; and 8,326,611,
`respec�vely. Pursuant to the Board’s instruc�ons during the January 24, 2024 conference regarding
`consolida�on and coordina�on, Pe��oner Meta has met and conferred with counsel for Patent Owner
`Jawbone Innova�ons, LLC, and counsel for Sony and LG, the pe��oners in IPR2023-01166, IPR2023-
`01154, IPR2023-01117, IPR2023-01112, IPR2023-01177, IPR2023-01155, IPR2023-01222, and IPR2023-
`01248 to discuss a plan for consolida�ng the above-referenced proceedings under 35 U.S.C. 315(d) and
`37 C.F.R. 42.122(a).
`
`
`For ease of reference, the below table lists the relevant proceedings for each Pe��oner discussed in this
`proposed plan, and an indica�on of which Pe��oner will lead the consolidated proceeding under this
`plan.

`
`1. Counsel for Meta, Sony, and LG will form a joint pe��oners’ group and will submit joint
`filings. For the IPR proceedings listed above, Meta or Sony will lead the joint pe��oners’ group,
`as indicated, with the other pe��oners taking “understudy” roles. For each of paragraphs 2-4,
`the consolidated IPR proceeding maintains all grounds of unpatentability asserted in the
`pe��ons filed in the IPR proceedings for the lead and understudy pe��oners.

`
`The par�es jointly propose the following consolida�on and coordina�on plan:

`

`2. With respect to U.S. Patent No. 8,019,091, the Sony IPR proceeding (IPR2023-01166) and LG IPR
`proceeding (IPR2023-01154) will be consolidated into the Meta IPR proceeding (IPR2023-
`01127).
`3. With respect to U.S. Patent No. 8,321,213, the Sony IPR proceeding (IPR2023-01117) and LG IPR
`proceeding (IPR2023-01112) will be consolidated into the Meta IPR proceeding (IPR2023-
`01084). With respect to the invalidity challenges asserted for dependent claims 37 and 38 that
`are present in the Sony and LG IPR proceedings but not present in the Meta IPR proceeding,
`Meta will be prepared to address the challenges to those claims.
`4. With respect to U.S. Patent No. 8,326,611, the Sony IPR proceeding (IPR2023-01177) and LG IPR
`proceeding (IPR2023-01155) will be consolidated into the Meta IPR proceeding (IPR2023-
`01128). With respect to the invalidity challenges asserted for dependent claims 3 and 4 that are
`present in the Sony and LG IPR proceedings but not present in the Meta IPR proceeding, Meta
`will be prepared to address the challenges to those claims.
`5. With respect to U.S. Patent No. 8,467,543, the LG IPR proceeding (IPR2023-01248) will be
`consolidated into the Sony IPR proceeding (IPR2023-01222).
`
`
`
`The par�es can be available for a teleconference with the Board, if necessary, to discuss this proposal.
