`Dear Vincent:

`
`Thank you for your letter dated November 28, 2018. Unfortunately, your letter only reinforces
`that AGIS’s pre-suit claims on the ’970 patent have been brought in bad faith.
`
`It is black letter law that there cannot be induced infringement without notice of the patents-in-
`suit. There was no pre-suit notice, and AGIS’s pre-suit inducement claims are therefore
`frivolous as a matter of law. Likewise, it is black letter law, that in order to directly infringe a
`patent, a defendant must make, use, sell, offer for sale, or import an accused device in the United
`States. It is undisputed that HTC Corp. does none of these things in the United States.
`Moreover, none of the accused devices even have the accused Find My Device or Device
`Manager applications.
`
`AGIS’s infringement claim is at most limited to an inducement case from the time of filing of
`suit. We asked AGIS to so stipulate, but AGIS refused. Accordingly, HTC Corp. will be
`moving on the issue and we will be seeking our fees.
`
`Regards,
`
`
`Matthew C. Bernstein
