`
`VARTA Microbattery GmbH (“VARTA”) and Samsung Electronics America, Inc. (“SEA”)

`
`of the case captioned VARTA Microbattery GmbH v. Samsung Electronics America, Inc., Case No.
`
`2:20-cv-00029-JRG. Additionally, because SEA is a supplier of various accused products to
`
`Defendants Best Buy Stores LP, Best Buy.com. LLC, and Best Buy Texas.com LLC (collectively
`
`“Best Buy”), VARTA and Best Buy stipulate to a dismissal with prejudice of claims as they relate
`
`to SEA products sold, offered for sale, and/or imported by Best Buy in the case captioned VARTA
