`
`Acceleration Bay LLC v. Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc., et al.
`C.A. No. 16-455 (RGA)
`
`Dear Judge Andrews:
`
`We write on behalf of Defendants in response to the Court’s request during yesterday’s
`summary judgment hearing for authority supporting the grant of summary judgment where the
`patentee had initially accused certain products but later dropped those accusations.
`
`In Intellectual Ventures I, LLC v. Canon Inc., the patentee’s expert “did not include in his
`
`expert report numerous products listed in [the patentee’s] infringement contentions,” and the
`defendant sought “summary judgment of non-infringement with respect to such ‘omitted’
`products.” 143 F. Supp. 3d 143, 156 (D. Del. 2015). The district court held that “a claim of
`infringement relating to a product identified in [the patentee’s] infringement contentions but not
`in its expert’s report shall be considered dismissed from the case with prejudice.” Id.
`
`At the time of Dr. Mitzenmacher’s report, Plaintiff was accusing five modes of NBA2K
`
`of infringement. See, e.g., D.I. 464-1, Ex. A-2 at ¶¶ 63 (accusing MyTEAM, MyPARK, Rec
`Hall (MyPark), Stage (myCareer), and Crew), 66 (same). At the time of summary judgment,
`Plaintiff contends that only three modes infringe. See D.I. 472 at 7 n.4 (accusing ProAm,
`MyPark, and Rec Hall). It is undisputed that the no-longer-accused game modes do not infringe
`for at least the reasons explained in Defendants’ motion for summary judgment. See D.I. 463.
`
`
`Defendants therefore request the Court dismiss with prejudice the game modes of
`NBA2K that Plaintiff no longer contends infringe the asserted claims.
