`Subject: RE: IPR2015‐01264, ‐01319, & ‐1319 | Bungie, Inc. v. Worlds Inc.| Documents filed with the Patent Trial and
`Appeal Board
`
`Dear Trials,
`
`Bungie respectfully points out that Worlds (Patent Owner) is confusing 1) the “Stipulation of Uncontested Facts”
`(submitted as Exhibit 1064); with 2) argument in the brief on remand. The submitted Exhibit 1064, signed by both
`parties, contains only uncontested facts as mutually agreed upon by the parties.
`
`Bungie had previously requested authorization to submit (by email) a draft version of the "Uncontested Facts"
`document for in camera review by the Board, in order to facilitate resolution of a dispute between the parties. The
`Board denied Bungie’s request to make that submission (Paper 50), and no submission has ever been made. The
`Board’s Order (Paper 50) did not prohibit Bungie from making argument in its Remand Brief, nor should Bungie be
`prohibited from making any argument. See also 37 C.F.R. 42.22(c)
`
`Worlds will have opportunity to address any argument in Bungie’s brief in their Opposition Brief, and the Board is fully
`capable of attributing the appropriate weight to argument advanced by either party. As such, Bungie believes no
`conference call is necessary to deny Worlds’ request set forth below.
`
`To the extent a call would be beneficial, Bungie is available during the following times:
`
`
` Tues (1/8) or Thursday (1/10) between 1pm and 4pm Eastern
`
`
`Respectfully,
`
`Michael T Rosato
`Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati

`Subject: IPR2015‐01264, ‐01319, & ‐1319 | Bungie, Inc. v. Worlds Inc.| Documents filed with the Patent Trial and Appeal
`Board
`
`To the Board,
`
`Patent Owner writes to alert the Board that Bungie's Brief on Remand filed today in IPR2015‐01264, IPR2015‐01319, and
`IPR2015‐01321, and in particular pp. 18‐19 of that Brief, improperly contains alleged "Statements of Material Fact"
`including insertions of emailed settlement discussions between the parties prior to the Board's Nov. 7, 2018 telephone
`conference with the parties. Most directly, such discussions were addressed in the Board's Order of last week (Paper 50,
`pp. 2‐3), stating:
`
`Petitioner represents that the stipulations include quotations from communications exchanged as settlement
`negotiations between the parties. ... Patent Owner submits that it would be inappropriate to enter into the record the
`substance of settlement discussions. ... We deny Petitioner’s request to submit, and do not authorize the submission or
`filing of, the disputed draft stipulations.
`
`Patent Owner also respectfully submits that Bungie's attempt to insert new evidence into the record, by embedding
`evidence into the brief rather than submitting exhibits, violates the Board's Order (Paper 48, p. 8), stating that "With the
`exception of the filing of the above‐discussed 'noncontroversial evidence,' the evidentiary record remains
`closed." Bungie's SMFs 7‐11 refer to dates prior to the Board's Nov. 7, 2018 telephone conference with the parties, and
`on that conference, Bungie did not seek to submit evidence of settlement discussions.
`
`Patent Owner respectfully asks that a conference call be scheduled with the Board so Patent Owner can request
`permission to seek appropriate remedies for these violations, including striking Bungie's Brief on Remand.
`
`Patent Owner also asks that Bungie's brief in all three subject cases be placed under seal temporarily, while an
`appropriate remedy can be fashioned by the Board.
`
`Respectfully,
`
`Wayne Helge
