`
`MANDATORY NOTICES (37 C.F.R. § 42.8)
`A. Real Party-In-Interest (37 C.F.R. § 42.8(b)(1))
`
`Petitioner, Toyota, is the real party-in-interest.
`
`B. Related Matters (37 C.F.R. § 42.8(b)(2))
`
`The ’697 patent has been asserted by the Patent Owner in the following
`
`litigations in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas: American
`
`Vehicular Sciences LLC v. Toyota Motor Corp. et al., No. 6:12-CV-405, filed Jun. 25, 2012
`
`(hereinafter, “AVS 405 Litigation”); American Vehicular Sciences LLC v. BMW Grp.
`
`A/K/A BMW AG et al., No. 6:12-CV-412, filed Jun. 25, 2012; American Vehicular
`
`Sciences LLC v. Hyundai Motor Co. et al., No. 6:12-CV-776, filed Oct. 15, 2012; American
`
`Vehicular Sciences LLC v. Kia Motors Corp., No. 6:13-CV-148, filed Feb. 13, 2013;
`
`American Vehicular Sciences LLC v. American Honda Motor Co., Inc. et al., No. 6:13-CV-
`
`226, filed Mar. 8, 2013; and American Vehicular Sciences LLC v. Mercedes-Benz U.S. Intl.,
`
`Inc., No. 6:13-CV-310, filed Apr. 3, 2013. Petitioner is a named defendant in the AVS
`
`405 Litigation. The earliest that any of the defendants in the AVS 405 Litigation were
`
`served is July 20, 2012. Petitioner is not aware of any other litigations involving the
`
`’697 patent. The petition in this proceeding was filed simultaneously with IPR2013-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`00413, -00414, -00415, -00416, and -00417. A trial has been instituted on each. One
`
`of these proceedings, IPR2013-00413, also relates to the ’697 patent. The prior art
`
`references in that petition are directed to vehicles that transmit emergency messages,
`
`while the prior art references in the present petition relate to vehicles that transmit
`
`diagnostic codes and fault messages. While the other petitions do not address the
`
`’697 patent, they relate to patents that were asserted along with the ’697 patent in the
`
`AVS 405 Litigation. Petitioner is not aware of any other pending administrative
`
`matter that would affect, or be affected by, a decision in this proceeding.
