`
`NOTICE REGARDING INTER PARTES REVIEWS
`
`
`
`
`Defendants Activision Blizzard, Inc., Electronic Arts Inc., and Take-Two Interactive
`
`Software, Inc., Rockstar Games, Inc., and 2K Sports, Inc. (collectively, “Defendants”) wish to
`
`update the Court as to the status of various inter partes reviews (“IPRs”) of the Patents-in-Suit.1
`
`In the last two weeks, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”) issued final written
`
`
`1 The Defendants previously provided an update in April 2016 regarding their IPRs. See C.A.
`No. 15-228, D.I. 128.
`
`
`
`Case 1:16-cv-00455-RGA Document 77 Filed 04/04/17 Page 2 of 4 PageID #: 2576
`
`decisions on six of the IPRs filed by Defendants. Two other IPRs are still pending, and final
`
`written decisions are expected in September 2017. The PTAB’s final written decisions found
`
`thirty-seven claims of three of the six Asserted Patents to be unpatentable. Specifically, claims
`
`1-11, and 16-17 of the ’966 patent have been found to be unpatentable, claims 1-11, and 16-19 of
`
`the ’344 patent have been found to be unpatentable, and claims 1-9 of the ’634 patent have been
`
`found to be unpatentable.
`
`The following table summarizes the status of the Asserted Claims in view of the PTAB
`
`decisions to date:

`Defendants will meet and confer with Plaintiff concerning the resolution of these claims
`
`in this litigation.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`2 The claims in this column were challenged in Defendants’ petitions for inter partes review.
`The PTAB declined to institute trial on these claims because it was “unable to construe” several
`means-plus-function limitations, and, therefore indefinite.
`3 As mentioned above, a final written decision for the claims in this column is expected from the
`PTAB in approximately five months (September 2017).
