`
`Ms. Santasawatkul:
`
`Thank you again to Judge Albright and you for making time for our scheduling issues last week, especially in the middle
`of a trial. The trial schedule is important not only for our planning in this case, but also because the issue of the trial date
`and Apple’s pending motion to stay have come up in the IPR proceedings, and we want to make sure we provide timely
`and accurate information to the PTAB about those issues.

`Subject: RE: Parus - Scheduling Trials
`
`Good morning Counsel,
`
`I apologize for my delayed response, the Court is in trial all week.
`
`As we are still a ways out from trial, the Court is going to schedule all four of the trials for 7/12/2021. The first trial will
`go 7/12 but as we get closer to trial and details solidify we will determine the actual order. Depending on what the Court
`decides, Samsung will likely be the last to be tried with a trial date sometime in August.
`
`I apologize that I cannot be more specific with the dates but I’m sure you all know that as soon as we set definite dates
`something will inevitably come up and ruin our plans. We hope that this strategy to scheduling will help us to be more
`flexible as issues arise.
`
`Best,
`Hannah

`Subject: Parus - Scheduling Trials
`
`Ms. Santasawatkul:
`
`I write on behalf of Defendants because plaintiff’s email was sent without allowing Defendants to offer their positions
`and does not correctly reflect Defendants' positions.
`
`Like Plaintiff, Defendants jointly request that separate trials be set for each Defendant. But because of the multiple
`parties and schedules involved, Defendants respectfully request a telephonic hearing to discuss trial scheduling and
`ordering. Moreover, to the extent Parus’s email suggests that a finding of liability as to one defendant should somehow
`bind any other defendant regarding similar products, services, or "implementations," Defendants disagree and do not
`believe that complex legal issue is appropriately addressed at this time.
`
`Further, Apple states that it is also looking into August dates in addition to being available 7/12 – 7/23.
`
`Best regards,
`Rose

`
`External Email
`
`Ms. Santasawatkul:
`
`During the claim construction hearing, Judge Albright asked the parties to meet and confer and come up with available
`time in the second half of July that they were available for trial. The following is the availability of the parties:
`-
`Parus: 7/12 – 7/31, Parus can also be available in August
`-
`Apple: 7/12 – 7/23
`-
`Google: 7/12 – 7/31
`-
`Amazon: 7/12 – 7/31
`-
`Samsung: unavailable until 8/9
`
`Parus believes there should be four separate trials. The Apple, Amazon, Google, and Samsung trials should determine
`liability for the Siri, Alexa, Google Assistant and Bixby implementations, respectively. The separate trials should also
`resolve any liability for additional services uncovered during discovery.
`
`Let us know if you require anything further.
`
`Regards,
`
`Mike.
