`Re:
`
`Spacetime3D, Inc. v. Apple Inc., Case No. 6:22-cv-00149 (W.D. Tex.)
`
`
`Dear Counsel:
`
`Apple Inc. (“Apple”) has filed an inter partes review (IPR) petition (IPR2023-00344) with the
`Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) to address the validity of claims 1-20 of U.S. Patent No.
`9,696,868. The tables in attached Appendix A list all the grounds, challenged claims, and
`references asserted in IPR2023-00344.
`
` I
`
` write to inform you that Apple hereby stipulates that if the PTAB institutes IPR2023-00344
`based on the grounds and claims listed in the tables in Appendix A, Apple will not pursue in the
`District Court the specific grounds raised in IPR2023-00344 against claims 1-20 of U.S. Patent
`No. 9,696,868. See Sand Revolution II, LLC v. Continental Intermodal Group – Trucking LLC,
`IPR2019-01393, Paper No. 24 (PTAB June 16, 2020).
`
`In so stipulating, Apple seeks to avoid multiple proceedings addressing the validity of the
`challenged claims based on the same grounds. Rather, through this stipulation, Apple expresses
`its intention to have only the PTAB address the Instituted Grounds of invalidity of these
`claims. But, for the sake of clarity and to avoid any doubt, if the PTAB declines to institute any
`of the grounds identified herein, Apple reserves the right to assert the denied grounds in the
`litigation. Apple also reserves its rights to continue to assert grounds other than the Instituted
`Grounds.
`
`
`
`Sincerely,
`
`/s/Brian Rosenthal
`
`Attorney for Apple Inc.
