`Case 5:21-cv-03677-BLF Document 29 Filed 08/25/21 Page 2 of 3
`
`Plaintiffs Smith Micro Software, Inc., and Smith Micro Software, LLC, and
`defendant AGIS Software Development LLC, by counsel, hereby jointly stipulate
`and agree:
`AGIS Software Development LLC is defendant in pending cases
`1.
`WhatsApp LLC v. AGIS Software Development LLC, Case No. 5:21-cv-03076-BLF
`(“WhatsApp action”) and Smith Micro Software, Inc., Smith Micro Software, LLC
`v. AGIS Software Development LLC, Case No. Case No. 5:21-cv-3677-JD (“Smith
`Micro action”), and Lyft, Inc. v. AGIS Software Development LLC, Case No. 4:21-
`cv-04653-BLF (“Lyft action”).
`2.
`Both the WhatsApp action and the Smith Micro action involve the
`exact same patents, and the same issues as to claim construction and validity of the
`patents. Two out of five1 of the patents at issue in the Lyft action are also at issue in
`the WhatsApp and Smith Micro actions, and will involve the same issues as to
`claim construction and validity of these patents. Certain venue and jurisdictional
`issues are also the same or closely related.
`3.
`The three Lyft, WhatsApp, and Smith Micro actions concern
`substantially the same parties in that AGIS Software is a defendant in each,
`substantially the same property (i.e., the patents at issue in each action), and it
`appears likely that there will be unduly burdensome duplication of labor and
`expense or conflicting results if the cases are conducted before different judges.
`///
`///
`///
`///
`
`1 U.S. Patent Nos. 7,031,728 (“’728 patent”) and 7,630,724 (“’724 patent”), are at issue in all three
`Lyft, WhatsApp, and Smith Micro actions. U.S. Patent Nos. 8,213,970 (“’970 patent”), 10,299,100
`(“’100 patent”), and 10,341,838 (“’1,838 patent”) are asserted solely in the Lyft action. The
`WhatsApp and Smith Micro actions also involve U.S. Patent Nos. 9,408,055 (“’055 patent”),
`9,445,251 (“’251 patent”), 9,467,838 (“’7,838 patent”), and 9,749,829 (“’829 patent”).

`
`THEREFORE, the parties jointly request an Order that the three actions are
`“related”, and that the Smith Micro action be transferred to the Honorable Judge
`Beth Labson Freeman, who presides over the earlier filed WhatsApp action and the
`Lyft action.
