`Re:
`
`In re PersonalWeb Technologies, LLC et al. Patent Litigation,
`Nos. 18-md-02834 (N.D. Cal.)
`
`
`Dear Michael:
`
`I write on behalf of Amazon.com, Inc. and Amazon Web Services, Inc. (collectively,
`“Amazon”), and Twitch Interactive, Inc. (“Twitch”). The Court’s August 16, 2019 Claim
`Construction Order (Dkt. 485)—in particular the Court’s constructions of the “authorization”
`terms and the “part” and “part value” terms—makes clear that PersonalWeb has no viable
`infringement claim against either Amazon or Twitch. See MarcTec, LLC v. Johnson & Johnson,
`664 F.3d 907, 919 (Fed. Cir. 2012) (plaintiff’s “decision to continue the litigation after claim
`construction further supports the district court’s finding that this is an exceptional case”); Taurus
`IP, LLC v. Daimlerchrysler Corp., 559 F. Supp. 2d 947, 968 (W.D. Wisc. 2008) (plaintiff’s
`“decision to proceed in the face of [the] court’s constructions prolong[s] . . . litigation in bad
`faith”).
`
`Please confirm that PersonalWeb will immediately dismiss all claims against Amazon
`and Twitch with prejudice. If not, we will seek all available sanctions, including under Rule 11,
`against both PersonalWeb and your firm.
`
`Sincerely,
`
`FENWICK & WEST LLP
