`RE: IPR2021-00144 or IPR2021-00145: Petitioner’s Request to File Relevant Documents
`From Co-Pending Litigation
`
`Counsel, 

`The Board has considered Petitioner’s request to file certain documents from the co‐pending litigations and a 
`5‐page brief to address how the documents may impact the Board’s Fintiv analysis in these proceedings. The 
`Board also has considered Patent Owner’s non‐opposition under certain conditions. The Board has 
`determined that the documents and briefing may be useful to the Board. Accordingly, the Board authorizes 
`Petitioner to file the documents and a 5‐page brief, as outlined in Petitioner’s email to the Board, no later than 
`March 10, 2021. The Board also authorizes a 1‐week extension to Patent Owner’s Preliminary Response, to 
`March 17, 2021, and an additional 1200 words for a total of 15,200 words. The Board will memorialize these 
`authorizations in an Order, which will issue in due course. The Board appreciates that the parties were able to 
`come to agreement, and a conference call is not necessary at this time.  

`Thank you, 
`Eric W. Hawthorne 
`Supervisory Paralegal Specialist 
`Patent Trial and Appeal Board

`

`Honorable Board, 
`  
`In order to keep the Board apprised of ongoing developments in the co‐pending litigations related to the above‐
`referenced IPRs, Petitioner respectfully requests leave to file the following documents with the Board:   
`  
`
` “Amended Agreed Scheduling Order” filed 11/13/20 in Neonode Smartphone LLC v. Apple Inc., 6:20‐cv‐00505 
`(W.D. Tex.)
` “Order Staying Case Pending Completion of Venue Discovery” filed 12/08/20 in Neonode Smartphone LLC v.

`in Neonode Smartphone LLC v. Apple Inc., 6:20‐cv‐00505 (W.D. Tex.)
`
`  
`
`Because these developments arose after Petitioner filed the above‐referenced IPRs against the ’879 and ’993 patents, 
`Petitioner also respectfully requests a 5‐page brief to explain how these developments impact the Board’s Fintiv analysis 
`with respect to the petitions. 
`
`  
`Patent Owner does not oppose this request under the following conditions: (1) Petitioner’s 5‐page brief should be filed 
`before Patent Owner’s Preliminary Response, which is currently due next Wednesday, March 10; and (2) Patent Owner 
`should be given an extension to allow filing of its Preliminary Response one week after the filing of the 5‐page brief; and 
`(3) in view of Petitioner’s additional pages, the Preliminary Response should be given an additional 1200 words for a 
`total of 15,200 words.   
`
`  
`Petitioner is agreeable to these conditions, and would be ready to file its 5‐page brief no later than Wednesday, March 
`10. 
`
`  
`The parties counsel are available for a teleconference to discuss this request on Friday (3/5) at 12:30a‐2:30pET or 
`Monday (3/8) at 4‐6pET.  If your honors require additional availability, please let us know. 
`
`  
`Sincerely 
`
