`Re:
`
`Headwater Research LLC v. Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. et al., Case No. 2:23-cv-
`00641 (E.D. Tex.)
`
`
`Dear Counsel:
`
`Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (“Samsung”) has filed an inter partes review (IPR) petition
`(IPR2024-01051) with the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) to address the validity of
`claims 1-30 of U.S. Patent No. 8,639,811 (“the ’811 Patent”). The tables in attached Appendix
`A list all grounds, challenged claims, and references asserted in IPR2024-01051.
`
` I
`
` write to inform you that Samsung hereby stipulates that, if the PTAB institutes IPR2024-01051,
`Samsung agrees not to pursue the same grounds (listed in Appendix A below) in the district court
`litigation. Apple, Inc. v. SEVEN Networks, LLC, IPR2020-00156, Paper 10 at 19 (June 15,
`2020); see also Sand Revolution II, LLC v. Continental Intermodal Group-Trucking LLC,
`IPR2019-01393, Paper 24 at 12 (June 16, 2020).
`
`
`
`Sincerely,
`
`
`
`
`Thad Kodish
`
`Attorney for Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.
