`(Lead Case) AGIS Software Development, LLC v. ZTE Corporation, et al., Case No. 2:17-cv-
`00517-JRG (Consolidated Case) 
`
`  
`Vincent, 
`
`  
`You refer to “deficiencies in … existing briefing,” but the only deficiencies are in AGIS’s sur‐reply 
`briefing.   
`
`  
`The simple truth is that AGIS made two misrepresentations of fact in its sur‐reply, which was 
`filed on Friday, January 26, 2018, and on Monday, January 29, 2018, Defendants ZTA and ZTX 
`promptly notified AGIS of the two errors.  Now, AGIS wishes to correct only one error.   
`  
`It is improper for AGIS correct one error (incorporating AGIS’s erroneous attorney declaration), 
`while allowing the other error (AGIS’s misrepresentation of Defendants’ 1400(b) 
`argument).  Defendants ZTA and ZTX are not withholding consent as leverage, but to contrary, 
`Defendants ZTA and ZTX are attempting to ensure that proper corrections of misrepresentation 
`of fact in the AGIS sur‐reply are made.   
`  
`
` With respect to AGIS’s first misrepresentation of fact, if AGIS still wishes to correct its 
`sur‐reply brief, then Defendants ZTA and ZTX request that AGIS inform us of the 
`3
`
`

`

`proposed corrections, so that we may take a position on the potential motion for 
`correction. Defendants can only agree to AGIS’s corrections, once we see the 
`anticipated corrections. 
`
` With respect to AGIS’s second misrepresentation of fact, it is undisputed from your 
`emails that AGIS misrepresented the “acts of infringement” issue in the sur‐reply, and 
`we note that a simple correction would moot the issue.  The current sur‐reply brief is 
`clearly in error, in stating that “Defendants did not argue in its Motion to Dismiss that 
`the ‘acts of infringement’ requirement of 1400(b) was not satisfied as to ZTA. Dkt. 38 at 
`15‐20.”  For example, as we already indicated, Defendants clearly noted in the opening 
`brief that, “no Defendant resides, has committed alleged acts of infringement, or has a 
`regular and established place of business in this District.” (Dkt. No. 38 at 1, emphasis 
`added).  For example, a correct sur‐reply statement would be, “Defendants did not 
`argue in its Motion to Dismiss argument section that the ‘acts of infringement’ 
`requirement of 1400(b) was not satisfied as to ZTA. Dkt. 38 at 15‐20.”  But, it is just a 
`plan misrepresentation of fact for AGIS to state otherwise.  
`
`o We further note that the sur‐reply brief was the first time that AGIS asserted this 
`misrepresentation of “fact.”  AGIS’s opposition brief had only referenced the 
`Amended Complaint, not the 1400(b) requirement.  See Dkt. 46 at 15 (“ZTA does 
`not dispute that it has engaged in infringing activities in this District as alleged in 
`the Amended Complaint and, thus, concedes that ZTA engaged, and continues 
`to engage, in the infringing activities alleged in the Amended Complaint. Dkt. 32 
`at 23‐83.”).  And, in the reply brief, Defendants ZTA and ZTX responded to that 
`argument regarding the Amended Complaint.  See Dkt. 51 at 4 (“ZTA also denies 
`any acts of infringement.”); see also id. (“AGIS incorrectly alleges that ‘ZTA does 
`not dispute’ infringement‐‐‐even that it ‘concedes that ZTA . . . engage[s] in the 
`infringing activities. This conclusory rhetoric is baseless, at least as Defendants 
`have yet to answer the Amended Complaint, given the pending motion to 
`dismiss and/or to transfer”).  In the opposition brief, AGIS did not assert that 
`ZTA waived the “acts of infringement” requirement of 1400(b), until AGIS made 
`that argument for the first time in its sur‐reply brief.  See Dkt. 52 at 2 
`(“Defendants did not argue in its Motion to Dismiss that the ‘acts of 
`infringement’ requirement of 1400(b) was not satisfied as to ZTA. Dkt. 38 at 15‐
`20.”)  The local EDTX rules do not permit the presentation of new facts in reply 
`and sur‐reply briefs.  As such, not only is AGIS’s allegation that ZTA did not argue 
`the acts of infringement requirement of 1400(b) unambiguously in error, but it 
`is further improper as a new allegation, only first alleged by AGIS in its sur‐reply 
`brief.  See Gillaspy v. Dallas Ind. School Dist., 278 Fed. Appx. 307, 315 (5th Cir. 
`2008) (“It is the practice of [the 5th Cir.] to refuse to consider arguments raised 
`for the first time in reply [and sur‐reply] briefs”).  Therefore, if AGIS continues to 
`refuse to correct their misrepresentation, then Defendants will request an 
`opportunity to respond to any AGIS motion to correct.  Your allegation that 
`Defendants ZTA and ZTX are “withholding consent to correct the clerical error in 
`the declaration as leverage” is plainly incorrect, as Defendants ZTA and ZTX is 
`merely going to insist on addressing the errors by AGIS, in one manner or 
`another.  If we do resolve the issue in your motion for correction, then we will 
`address the error in another manner. But, for now, we are attempting to work 
`with you in good faith to address the clear error by AGIS.  
`
`  
`
`  
`
`  
`
`4
`
`

`

`But, for now, as a next step, we suggest that you provide us with the intended corrections that 
`AGIS wishes to make to its sur‐reply brief.  Once we review those corrections, we will be in a 
`best position to take a position on the potential motion for correction.  
`
`  
`As for a meet‐and‐confer, as I noted yesterday, I am generally available between 10am‐3pm 
`Eastern or after 6pm Eastern, or on Monday.  But, it would be helpful for the meet‐and‐confer 
`to see whatever corrections that AGIS wishes to make to its sur‐reply brief for us to take a 
`position.

`Subject: RE: AGIS Software Development, LLC v. HTC Corporation, Case No. 2:17-cv-
`00514-JRG (Lead Case) AGIS Software Development, LLC v. ZTE Corporation, et al.,
`Case No. 2:17-cv-00517-JRG (Consolidated Case) 
`
`  
`Vincent, 
`  
`It seems clear that AGIS made two clear and unambiguous errors in its sur‐reply.   
`
`  
`Now, AGIS seeks to correct only one of those errors, that is, the one incorporating the 
`erroneous attorney declaration, but AGIS does not wish to correct the other error.  If so, 
`this would be inappropriate, as AGIS should correct both errors.  If AGIS will not agree to 
`correct both errors,  then Defendants ZTA and ZTX will oppose a motion to correct only 
`one of the two errors, unless both errors are corrected. 
`
`  
`First, in the sur‐reply, AGIS incorrectly alleges they informed Defendants of the L.P.R. 3‐
`1 Infringement Contention contents.  This error is duplicated three‐fold, in the sur‐reply 
`brief, the Exhibit, and the attorney declaration. 
`  
`
` AGIS incorrectly states that “[o]n November 28, 2018, Plaintiff informed 
`Defendants that its infringement contentions rely solely on public documents, 
`including source code excerpts.” (Dkt. No. 52, p. 8). 
` AGIS incorrectly filed Ex. 11 infringement contentions for AGIS Software 
`Development LLC v. Huawei et al., No. 2:17‐cv‐513‐JRG. 
` AGIS’s counsel‐‐‐Vincent J. Rubino III‐‐‐after “being duly sworn” and declaring 
`“under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct,” falsely stated 
`that “[a]ttached hereto as Exhibit 11 is a true and correct copy of the cover 
`document of Plaintiff’s Disclosure of Asserted Claims and Infringement 
`Contentions, dated November 28, 2017.” 
`
`  
`
`Second, AGIS incorrectly alleges Defendants did not argue the ‘acts of infringement’ 
`requirement of 1400(b).  This erroneous accusation is baseless.  AGIS states that 
`“Defendants did not argue in its Motion to Dismiss that the ‘acts of infringement’ 
`requirement of 1400(b) was not satisfied as to ZTA.”  Dkt. 38 at 15‐20.” 
`  
`
` However, this statement and citation are incorrect, as Defendants’ Motion to 
`Dismiss clearly states, “no Defendant resides, has committed alleged acts of 
`infringement, or has a regular and established place of business in this District.” 
`(Dkt. No. 38 at 1, emphasis added). 
` Additionally, pursuant to Local Rule 7(a)(1), Defendants stated that the Court 
`must decide the issue of venue because “the Defendants do not reside in this 
`Judicial District, have not committed alleged acts of infringement in this 
`District, and do not have a regular and established place of business 
`here.”  (Dkt. No. 38, emphasis added). 
`
`  
`
`6
`
`

`

`As evident by the opening brief, Defendants did not waive any argument that they do 
`not infringe, and Defendants did not concede that ZTA or any ZTE Defendant engaged, 
`and/or continues to engage, in any of the infringing activities alleged in the Amended 
`Complaint.  Also, AGIS did not inform Defendants of their infringement contentions until 
`January 19, 2018, which was hours after Defendants’ reply filing, a month after AGIS’s 
`venue motion response, and nearly two months after AGIS’s alleged sur‐reply date.    
`
`  
`Therefore, again, if AGIS does not agree to correct both clear and unambiguous errors, 
`based on specifically erroneous statements in its briefing, then ZTA and ZTX will oppose 
`any attempt by AGIS to file a motion to correct only one error (by unopposed motion to 
`correct).  
`
`  
`As a compromise, however, if AGIS agrees that the ZTE Defendants may respond to any 
`“motion to correct the sur‐reply brief and associated declaration,” as filed by AGIS, then 
`ZTE would not oppose such a motion, with the understand that any motion for leave by 
`AGIS would specifically include our agreement that the ZTE Defendants would have an 
`opportunity to respond the any motion to correct (such response to the limited to the 
`two errors).   
`  
`If you are in the courtroom tomorrow in the EDTX, I can meet‐and‐confer after the 
`conference, if still needed in view of this email;  if not, I am generally available on Friday, 
`February 2, 2018, between 10am‐3pm Eastern or after 6pm Eastern.

`
`Lionel, 
`  
`It appears that you have identified two distinct issues, each of which I address in turn. 
`
`  
`First, thank you for pointing out the clerical error with regard to the date and 
`corresponding exhibit 11.  AGIS plans to file a motion to correct the sur‐reply brief and 
`associated declaration. 
`
`  
`Second, we disagree with your characterizations of our sur‐reply brief and we do not 
`intend to file any clarification on the points you identify other than to change the date 
`as set forth above.   
`  
`

`
`

`

`Please let us know your availability to meet and confer. We are available to confer on 
`these issues on Thursday at 1pm eastern.   
`
`  
`Regards, 
`Vincent

`Subject: RE: AGIS Software Development, LLC v. HTC Corporation, Case No.
`2:17-cv-00514-JRG (Lead Case) AGIS Software Development, LLC v. ZTE
`Corporation, et al., Case No. 2:17-cv-00517-JRG (Consolidated Case) 
`
`  
`Counsel for AGIS, 
`
`  
`We note several significant errors in AGIS’s sur‐reply, as filed on January 26, 
`2018.   
`
`  
`Defendants ask that AGIS withdraw these positions and refile its sur‐reply, or we 
`will seek for leave to respond to the errors. 
`
`  
`First, AGIS alleges that, “[o]n November 28, 2018, Plaintiff informed [the ZTE] 
`Defendants that its infringement contentions rely solely on public documents, 
`including source code excerpts.” (D.E. No. 52, pg. 8). 
`  
`
` This allegation, along with the citation to Ex. 11 and Vincent Rubino’s 
`declaration (as declared by him to be truthful), are all made in 
`error.  AGIS did not inform the ZTE Defendants of any infringement 
`contentions on November 28, 2017.  In fact, AGIS did not serve any 
`infringement contentions on the ZTE Defendants until after Defendants 
`filed their reply brief, on January 19, 2018 (compare Defendants’ filing 
`time vs. AGIS’s email time on January 19, 2018).  
` Instead, note that Ex. 11 and Vincent Rubino’s declaration reference 
`infringement contentions served on Huawei, not on the ZTE 
`Defendants.  Vincent Rubino’s declaration is thus patently incorrect in 
`that it states “Exhibit 11 is a true and correct copy of the cover 
`document of Plaintiff’s Disclosure of Asserted Claims and Infringement 
`Contentions.”  (Emphasis added).  Thus, unfortunately, Exhibit 11 is not 
`a true and correct copy of AGIS’s infringement contentions on the ZTE 
`Defendants, because it is in fact the contentions served to a different 
`
`8
`
`

`

`entity in an entirely different case (the Huawei Defendants, in the 
`Huawei case). 
`
`  
`
`These errors, duplicated three times in the sur‐reply itself, in Ex. 11, and by AGIS 
`attorney Vincent Rubino’s declaration are entirely false and need to be 
`corrected. 
`
`  
`Second, AGIS continues to allege that “Defendants did not argue in its Motion to 
`Dismiss that the ‘acts of infringement’ requirement of 1400(b) was not satisfied 
`as to ZTA,” and that “ZTA has, therefore, waived this argument, and its attempt 
`to resurrect it in its Reply fails.” (D.E. No. 52, pg. 2). 
`  
`
` Again, this allegation is erroneous.  In the opening brief, “Defendants 
`ZTE (TX) Inc. and ZTE (USA) Inc.” moved to dismiss AGIS’s complaint for 
`improper venue.  The brief clearly states that “no Defendant resides, 
`has committed alleged acts of infringement, or has a regular and 
`established place of business in this District.”  (D.E. No. 38, pg. 1, 
`Emphasis added). 
` Additionally, pursuant to Local Rule 7(a)(1), Defendants stated that the 
`Court must decide the issue of venue because “the Defendants do not 
`reside in this Judicial District, have not committed alleged acts of 
`infringement in this District, and do not have a regular and established 
`place of business here.”  (D.E. No. 38, Emphasis added). 
` Also, per the very authority that you quote in your opposition brief, 
`“the issue of infringement is not reached on the merits in considering 
`venue requirements.” In re Cordis Corp., 769 F.2d 733, 737 (Fed. Cir. 
`1985). 
` Thus, despite these clear recitations in the opening brief, the reiterated 
`denial in the reply brief, and your acknowledgment that substantive 
`infringement issues cannot be decided on a motion to dismiss for 
`improper venue (not to mention that the burden is yours to provide), 
`AGIS continuous to erroneously litigate this irrelevant issue with 
`baseless conclusory statements, as compounded by the errors Ex. 11 
`and Vincent Rubino’s declaration.   
`
`  
`
`These clearly erroneous arguments by AGIS are highlighted by the multiple 
`errors as to the citation to Ex. 11 and Vincent Rubino’s declaration.  Indeed, as 
`evident by the opening brief, Defendants did not waive any argument that they 
`do not infringe, and Defendants did not concede that ZTA or any ZTE Defendant 
`engaged, and/or continues to engage, in any of the infringing activities alleged 
`in the Amended Complaint.  AGIS also needs to remedy this erroneous 
`allegation. 
`
`  
`Please confirm by February 1, 2018 whether AGIS will remedy these errors by 
`refiling its sur‐reply and removing these allegations.  If not, Defendants will seek 
`leave to respond to these errors. 
`
`  
`Regards, 
`
`  
`Lionel
