`
`
`TOUCHSTREAM TECHNOLOGIES, INC.’S NOTICE
`OF NON-OPPOSITION TO COMCAST’S MOTION TO DISMISS
`PRE-SUIT WILLFUL INFRINGEMENT OF THE ’751 AND ’934 PATENTS

`Case 2:23-cv-00059-JRG Document 43 Filed 04/25/24 Page 2 of 4 PageID #: 1263
`
`
`
`Plaintiff Touchstream Technologies, Inc. (“Touchstream”) submits this Notice of Non-
`
`Opposition to Comcast’s Motion to Dismiss claims of pre-suit willful infringement as to the ’751
`
`and ’934 Patents. The issues raised in Comcast’s Motion were already decided in Comcast’s favor
`
`in the Court’s March 14, 2024, Order.1 See Touchstream Techs., Inc. v. Altice USA, Inc. et al., No.
`
`EDTX-2-23-cv-00060, ECF 156 at pp. 5-6, 8. As such, Touchstream’s Second Amended
`
`Complaint only added factual support for its claims of pre-suit willful infringement of the ’251
`
`patent. While Touchstream respectfully maintains the arguments made in its Response to
`
`Comcast’s Motion to Dismiss (ECF 83), Touchstream understands that its claims of pre-suit willful
`
`infringement as to the ’751 and ’934 Patents remain dismissed pursuant to the Court’s March 14,
`
`2024 Order.2
`
`
`
`
`
`
`1 Touchstream recognizes that its Second Amended Complaint reiterates the claims of pre-suit
`willful infringement of the ’751 and ’934 patents included in its First Amended Complaint. Aside
`from supplementing the factual basis for pre-suit willful infringement of the ’251 Patent,
`Touchstream avoided adding or removing content from its Second Amended Complaint so as not
`to exceed the scope of amendment permitted by the Court’s March 14, 2024, Order.
`
` 2
`
` Because fact discovery is ongoing, Touchstream reserves the right to move for leave to amend
`its Complaint for good cause in the event Touchstream discovers evidence supporting Comcast’s
`pre-suit knowledge of the ’751 and ’934 Patents.
