`STIPULATED ORDER
`
`Pursuant to the Court’s instruction at the Status Hearing on September 16, 2014,
`Plaintiff Velocity Patent LLC and Defendants Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC and Mercedes-
`Benz U.S. International Inc. (collectively “the parties”) have agreed to the following
`Stipulated Order concerning the stay of Civil Action No. 1:13-cv-08413 (“the Action”):
`
`1. The Action is stayed until completion of the reexamination of U.S. Patent No.
`5,954,781 (which reexamination has been assigned Reexamination Control No.
`90/013,252), including any appeals taken by Velocity Patent.
`
`2. The stay entered by this Stipulated Order is limited to U.S. Patent Application No.
`90/013,252. The stay is not affected by any subsequent reexamination request or
`petition for inter partes review filed with the USPTO (e.g., a further request for ex
`parte reexamination). Defendants reserve the right, however, to renew their motion
`to stay the Action until the completion of their IPR proceeding, IPR2014-01247, in
`the event such proceeding takes longer than such reexamination.
`
`
`3. Defendants shall provide, to the extent it has not done so already within thirty (30)
`days of entry of this Order, a list of third parties (including address) that supply
`components (including hardware and software) of the features identified in Plaintiff’s
`Preliminary Infringement Contentions to Defendants or Defendant’s related foreign
`entities. For each third party identified, Defendants shall, to the extent it has not done
`so already, also state whether it has control over the third party, and whether
`Defendant’s counsel can accept service of process requesting production of relevant
`evidence (e.g., a subpoena) on behalf of the third party.
