`
`Dear Judge Hall:
`
`We write on behalf of Arendi S.A.R.L. and Google LLC pursuant to the Court’s Order
`(D.I. 471) that the parties shall file a joint letter setting forth any corrections or objections to the
`Court’s Proposed Preliminary Jury Instructions.
`
`Arendi will not be asserting at trial the method claims (claims 1 and 8) of U.S. Patent No.
`7,917,843. Accordingly, the listing of asserted claims in Section II (“Overview of the Case”)
`should be modified to state: “Plaintiff alleges that the Defendant infringes Claims 23 and 30 of the
`’843 Patent.”
`
`Arendi maintains that there are no other changes or objections to the Court’s Proposed
`Preliminary Jury Instructions.
`
`Google maintains that the following two underlined sentences from “Section VII. Burdens
`of Proof” (p. 7) should also be removed. The first underlined sentence is redundant, and the second
`should drop out with the removal of the method claims. Arendi opposes the removal.
`
`
`“Plaintiff Arendi asserts that Defendant Google infringes the ’843 Patent. Plaintiff Arendi
`alleges that Defendant Google infringes the ’843 Patent directly. Plaintiff Arendi also alleges that
`Defendant Google induced others to infringe the ’843 Patent and contributed to others’
`infringement of the ’843 Patent. Plaintiff Arendi alleges that the Defendant’s infringement of
`the’843 Patent was willful. Plaintiff Arendi bears the burden of proof on each of these issues by a
`preponderance of the evidence.”
`
`Arendi would not oppose Google’s proposed deletion of the two sentences provided that
`such removal is without prejudice to the infringement claims themselves and does not constitute a
`waiver of any claims.
`
`
`The parties are available at the Court’s convenience to address any questions or concerns.
`
`Respectfully,
`
`/s/ Neal C. Belgam
