`U.S. Patent No. 11,033,821
`Mullen Industries LLC hereby moves to dismiss the captioned IPR on the
`ground that Mullen has disclaimed all claims at issue in this IPR, namely, Claims 1,
`4, 11, 16, 30, and 102 of the '821 patent. This disclaimer is attached as Exhibit A.
`Because all claims at issue have been disclaimed, any case or controversy over the

`1373 (Fed. Cir. 2019) (holding that "disclaimer of the disclaimed claims mooted any
`controversy over them"). Accordingly, the IPR should be dismissed.
