`Re:
`
`Neo Wireless LLC v. Dell Technologies Inc. and Dell Inc., Case No.
`6:21-cv-0024 (WDTX)
`
`
`Dear Counsel:
`
`We write regarding a petition for inter partes review (IPR) being filed with the Patent Trial
`and Appeal Board (PTAB) to address the claims of U.S. Patent No. 8,467,366 (“’366 Patent). The
`table below lists grounds asserted by Dell Technologies Inc. and Dell Inc. (“Dell”) in an IPR
`petition (IPR2021-01480) challenging the ’366 Patent, along with the implicated claims against
`which the grounds are asserted. I write to inform you that Dell hereby stipulates that if the PTAB
`institutes an IPR based on Petitioner’s IPR Petition (IPR2021-01480) for the ’366 Patent,
`Petitioner will not assert any 35 U.S.C. § 102 or § 103 invalidity ground in this co-pending
`litigation (6:21-cv-0024) based on any of the primary or secondary references asserted in
`Petitioner’s IPR Petition. The primary or secondary references are listed in the second table
`below.

`
`
`For the sake of clarity and to avoid any doubt, if the PTAB declines to institute any of the
`grounds identified herein, Dell reserves the right to assert such grounds in the litigation. Dell also
`reserves its rights to continue to assert all grounds other than the Instituted Grounds in the event
`of institution.
`
`Through this stipulation, Dell seeks to avoid multiple proceedings addressing the validity
`of the challenged claims based on the same primary or secondary references as listed
`above. Rather, through this stipulation, Dell expresses its intention to have only the PTAB address
`the Instituted Grounds of invalidity of these claims.
