`
`
`
`Case 6:19-cv-00273-ADA Document 24 Filed 05/30/19 Page 2 of 4
`
`Whereas Plaintiff PACT XPP Schweiz AG (“PACT”) filed a complaint in Delaware on
`
`February 7, 2019 styled PACT XPP Schweiz AG v. Intel Corporation, Case No. 19-cv-00267 (D.
`
`Del. Feb. 7, 2019) (the “Delaware Case”), alleging that Intel Corporation (“Intel”) infringed
`
`twelve patents assigned to Plaintiff;
`
`Whereas PACT understood that Intel and PACT stipulated that in return for a second
`
`extension to answer or otherwise respond to the complaint in the Delaware Case, Intel would
`
`waive its right to file any motion in response to said complaint, including a motion to transfer
`
`venue;
`
`Whereas Intel understood that Intel was only waiving its right to file a motion to dismiss
`
`in the Delaware Case in return for such extension, and that Intel was not waiving its right to file a
`
`motion to transfer;
`
`Whereas during the second extension period, Intel informed PACT that, although it
`
`would answer the complaint in the Delaware Case, it would also in response to the Delaware
`
`complaint file a motion to transfer venue to the District of Oregon;
`
`Whereas PACT thereafter refiled its complaint in the Western District of Texas on April
`
`23, 2019 (the “Texas Case”) asserting the same twelve patents and dismissed the Delaware Case
`
`without prejudice;
`
`Whereas Intel then filed a declaratory action in the Northern District of California on
`
`April 25, 2019, (the “California Case”), asking the court to declare that it did not infringe any
`
`valid claim of any of the twelve patents asserted in both the Texas Case and the Delaware Case
`
`and alleging a breach of contract;
`
`Whereas PACT and Intel are desirous of putting their dispute as to venue behind them by
`
`having their case venued in the District of Delaware; and
`
`

`
`
`
`Case 6:19-cv-00273-ADA Document 24 Filed 05/30/19 Page 3 of 4
`
`Whereas Intel has agreed to waive (i) any right in this case to challenge venue in the
`
`District of Delaware; (ii) the provisions of Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(B) to assert that PACT’s
`
`dismissal of the Texas Case operates as an adjudication on the merits; and (iii) any rights to costs
`
`or attorney’s fees under Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(d) resulting from the parties’ venue dispute and the
`
`dismissal of either the Original Delaware case, the California Case, or the Texas case;
`
`NOW THEREFORE IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED THAT IN ACCORDANCE WITH
`
`THE ABOVE AGREEMENT AND STIPULATION OF THE PARTIES:
`
`1.
`
`Intel shall dismiss its California Case against PACT filed in the Northern District
`
`of California without prejudice;
`
`2.
`
`PACT and Intel shall file a stipulation of dismissal signed by both parties to
`
`dismiss the Texas Case against Intel without prejudice, and that same day Intel shall dismiss its
`
`California action without prejudice and PACT shall simultaneously refile its previously
`
`dismissed action in Delaware in a form identical to that contained in its Texas complaint except
`
`for allegations relating to the venue related allegation concerning Texas, and the parties agree
`
`that the new case will be marked related to the prior case on the civil cover sheet;
`
`3.
`
`Neither PACT’s nor Intel’s dismissal of their respective Texas Case and
`
`California Case shall be deemed an adjudication on the merits of any claim, nor shall it give rise
`
`to any right to costs or fees resulting from the venue dispute under Fed. R. Civ. P. 41;
`
`4.
`
`Within 5 days of the refiling of the complaint in Delaware, Intel shall file its
`
`answer to the Delaware complaint, and the parties will hold the Fed. R. Civ. P. Rule 26
`
`conference by June 14, 2019; and
`
`5.
`
`Either party may file this stipulation if needed in the Delaware, California, or
`
`Texas Cases.
