`
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.8 and the Board's August 13, 2020 order by email
`
`(Ex. 2018), the Patent Owner Optis Wireless Technology, LLC hereby submits the
`
`following updated notice.
`
`I.
`
`Real Party-In-Interest [No Change]
`Optis Wireless Technology, LLC is the owner of U.S. Patent No. 8,411,557
`
`("the '557 patent"). PanOptis Patent Management, LLC, has the right to license
`
`and assert the '557 patent.
`
`II. Related Matters [Updated]
`The Patent Owner identifies the following matter that may be deemed
`
`related pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.8(b)(2):
`
`• Optis Wireless Technology, LLC ("Patent Owner") Optis Cellular
`
`Technology, LLC, Unwired Planet, LLC, Unwired Planet International
`
`Limited and PanOptis Patent Management, LLC ("Plaintiffs) have
`
`asserted the '557 patent against Apple in Optis Wireless Technology, LLC
`
`v. Apple Inc., Case No. 2:19-cv-00066-JRG (E.D. Tex.).
`
`[Updated August 19, 2020] Between August 3 and August 11, 2020, a jury
`
`trial was held in the above-mentioned matter. On August 3, 2020, Petitioner filed
`
`an opposed motion "to dismiss without prejudice its counterclaim for a declaratory
`
`judgment of invalidity of U.S. Patent No. 8,411,557 (Count X of Apple's Answer,
`
`Affirmative Defenses, and Counterclaims to Plaintiffs' First Amended Complaint,
`
`
`
`
`
`- 1 -
`
`
`
`

`

`IPR2020-00466
`Patent No. 8,411,557
`
`Dkt. 110)." Ex. 2019. On August 4, 2020, the Court denied Petitioner's motion to
`
`dismiss. Ex. 2020. Thereafter on August 7, 2020, Patent Owner's expert, Dr.
`
`Madisetti, testified why the '557 patent was not rendered obvious by either a
`
`combination of Sutivong1 and Tan (Ex. 1005) or a combination of Harris (Ex.
`
`1004) and Tan (Ex. 1005), and Petitioner's expert testified why he believed
`
`Sutivong and Tan rendered the '557 patent obvious. Both experts were subject to
`
`cross-examination. The jury rendered a verdict on August 11, 2020, finding that
`
`Petitioner had failed to establish that independent claims 1 and 10 of the '557
`
`patent were invalid. Ex. 2021 at 5.
