`
`of background, Petitioner has submitted two inter partes review petitions (the
`
`pending inter partes review proceedings listed below), in which Petitioner has
`
`challenged claim 21 of the ’228 Patent. Like the Challenged Claims, claim 21 of the

`
`Wireless Technologies, LP, v. Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., et al, No. 2:13–CV–
`
`213–JRG–RSP (E.D. Tex). This finding of validity was upheld in the above-listed
`
`Federal Circuit appeal, Rembrandt Wireless Technology, LP v. Samsung Electronics
`
`Co. Ltd. et al., No. 16-1729. The table below identifies pending and prior Patent
`
