`

`

`PTAB Case No.: IPR2016-01897, Patent No. 9,253,239
`Motion to Withdraw Motion for Additional Discovery
`Pursuant to the Board’s authorization given via e-mail with the parties on
`
`
`
`August 15, 2017, Petitioner Microsoft Corporation respectfully requests that its
`
`Motion for Authorization to Take Additional Discovery filed on July 14, 2017
`
`(Paper 23) be withdrawn. The additional discovery for which Petitioner sought
`
`authorization is no longer needed in view of Patent Owner’s Response and
`
`evidence submitted therewith, and Patent Owner’s further agreement that it will
`
`not challenge the prior art status of U.S. Patent No. 6,728,960 to Loomans or
`
`otherwise rely on any declaration of either Mr. Isaac Levanon or Mr. Yonatan Lavi
`
`in this proceeding. See attached Exhibit A.
`
`As indicated in the electronic correspondence with the Board on August 14,
`
`2017, Patent Owner does not oppose this motion.

`
`We are okay with this (i.e., confirmed): Bradium will not take the position that Loomans is not prior art?
`Can you also please confirm that Bradium will not otherwise rely on any Lavi or Levanon declaration in

`Thanks.

`Subject: RE: Bradium '239 IPR
`
`Michael,
` 
`Microsoft is considering the below request. 
` 
`One issue has come up.  Microsoft is concerned that Bradium may attempt to argue at the oral
`hearing or elsewhere that Loomans is not prior art because of prior invention by Lavi and Levanon,
`and Bradium may attempt to use the declaration purportedly signed by both Lavi and Levanon
`during prosecution to support this.  While Microsoft believes Bradium waived this argument by not
`addressing it in its Patent Owner Response, Bradium’s Patent Owner Response does contain the
`statement that “Patent Owner maintains its position that Loomans is not prior art.” 
` 
`Can you please confirm that for purposes of the 239 IPR proceeding, Bradium will not take the
`position that Loomans is not prior art?  Can you also please confirm that Bradium will not otherwise
`rely on any Lavi or Levanon declaration in the 239 IPR proceeding?  Assuming you confirm these
`things, Microsoft will withdraw the motion to depose Lavi.
` 
`If you could let us know this morning, that would be great, as our client is traveling today.
` 
`Best,
`Matt

`Subject: Bradium '239 IPR
` 
`Matt,
` 
`Since it is clear from Bradium’s Patent Owner response filed in connection with the above IPR that
`Bradium does not rely on either Mr. Levanon’s testimony or on any evidence of secondary
`considerations, we believe that Microsoft’s motion seeking approval to take the deposition
`testimony of Mr. Lavi in connection with the IPR is pointless.  Please let us know if Microsoft will
`agree to withdraw the motion.  Since Bradium’s response to the motion is due on Monday, we
`would appreciate hearing from you by tomorrow in order to avoid needless motion practice.
` 
`Regards,
` 
`Michael
