`Re:
`
`Acceleration Bay LLC v. Activision Blizzard, Inc. et al.
`D. Del., C.A. No. 15-228-RGA, 15~282-RGA, l5-31 1—RGA
`
`Dear Judge Andrews:
`
`Further to the Court’s June 3, 2016 Order in the above-referenced actions (e. g. C.A. No.
`15-282-RGA, D.I. 149), I write to inform the Court that Boeing will not be joining these cases.
`Instead, Boeing and Plaintiff Acceleration Bay entered into the attached Amended and Restated
`Patent Purchase Agreement and Patent License Agreement, which confirm that Acceleration Bay
`has standing to pursue its claims against the Defendants without Boeing. See Exhibits A and B.
`In view of the foregoing, Acceleration Bay respectfully requests that the above-referenced
`actions be dismissed without prejudice. See Univ. ofPittsburgh v. Varian Med. Sys., Inc., 569
`F.3d 1328, 1332 (Fed. Cir. 2009) (reversing dismissal with prejudice of patent action for lack of
`standing: “The district court should have dismissed the action without prejudice, which would
`allow Pitt to file a second action with the standing defect cured through the joinder of the proper
`parties or an assignment of the necessary patent rights.”). A proposed order is attached hereto.
`Acceleration Bay will now refile complaints against the Defendants. The new complaints do not
`add any additional patents and do not change the currently accused products. Acceleration Bay,
`therefore, respectfully requests that the Court reserve the current trial dates, as only minor
`adjustments to the schedule will be necessary in View of the resolution of this standing issue
`within two weeks of the Court’s Order.
`
`Yesterday, before the deadline for Acceleration Bay to cure prudential standing or
`dismissal of the aboVe~referenced actions, Defendants filed declaratory judgment actions against
`Acceleration Bay in the District Court for the Northern District of California. 5:l6—cv-03375,
`5:l6—cv—03377 and 5:16-cv -03378. Defendants only named Acceleration Bay as a party to those
`actions, confirming that, in View of the amended agreement with Boeing, Acceleration Bay has
`standing to proceed against Defendants.
