`
`STIPULATION
`
`As evidenced by Patent Owner’s Exhibit 2002 and attachments A-C hereto,
`
`Trend Micro Incorporated has not pursued (and no longer can elect to pursue) any
`
`invalidity ground in the Related Litigation based on any of the prior art references
`
`asserted in the petition in this IPR.
`
`Exhibit 2002 is cited by Patent Owner in its Preliminary Response (Paper 6
`
`at p. 26). Attachment A is a true and correct copy of the District Court’s Order
`
`Focusing Patent Claims and Prior art to Reduce Costs filed in 2:22-md-03042-JRG
`
`in the Eastern District of Texas (the “Related Litigation”). Attachment B is a true
`
`and correct copy of the Preliminary Election of Asserted Claims served by Patent
`
`Owner on counsel for Trend Micro Incorporated in the Related
`
`Litigation. Attachment C is a true and correct copy of the Preliminary Election of
`
`Prior Art served by Trend Micro Incorporated on counsel for Patent Owner in the
`
`Related Litigation.
`
`To memorialize the impact of its invalidity elections in the Related
`
`Litigation, Petitioner stipulates that, if the Board institutes trial in this IPR,
`
`Petitioner will not pursue, in the Related Litigation, the specific grounds asserted
`
`in the IPR petition, nor any ground based on any prior art reference asserted in the
`
`IPR petition. Cf. Sand Revolution II, LLC v. Continental Intermodal Group –
`
`Trucking LLC, IPR2019-01393, Paper 24 at 11-12 (PTAB June 16, 2020)
`
`(Informative) (Board finding that Petitioner’s stipulation—“that it will not pursue,
`
`in district court, the ‘same grounds’ presented in the Petition in this case”—
`
`
`
`“mitigates to some degree the concerns of duplicative efforts between the district
`
`court and the Board, as well as concerns of potentially conflicting decisions.”)
