`
`I.
`
`Updated Notice of Related Matters
`
`Petitioner Sony Corporation updates the previous information provided to
`
`the Board regarding Related Matters in this case.
`
`This case seeks inter partes review of U.S. Patent No. 5,591,678
`
`(“the ’678 patent”). As Petitioner previously advised, the ’678 patent has
`
`been asserted in the cases styled Raytheon Company v. Sony Corporation, et
`
`al., C.A. No. 2:15-cv-342, (E.D. Tex.) and Raytheon Company v. Samsung
`
`Electronics Co., Ltd. et al., C.A. No. 2-15-cv-00341 (E.D. Tex.). Both cases
`
`were filed March 6, 2015 and remain pending.
`
`Subsequent to the filing of the Petition in this case, on November 18,
`
`2015, Petitioner filed a second petition for inter partes review of the ’678
`
`patent in IPR2016-00209. That case is also related to this case, as it
`
`involves the same patent and the same parties. Petitioner has, accordingly,
`
`also filed a Motion for Joinder of the petition in IPR2016-00209 with the
`
`petition in this case (Paper No. 3 in IPR2016-00209).
`
`Dated: December 9, 2015
