`
`Plaintiff Gesture Technology Partners, LLC (“GTP”) and Defendants Samsung Electronics
`
`Co., Ltd. and Samsung Electronics America, Inc. (collectively, “Samsung”) (altogether, “Parties”)
`
`hereby file this Joint Stipulation Regarding Asserted Patents and Prior Art References.
`
`In an effort to narrow the triable issues in this case, it is hereby jointly stipulated by the
`
`Parties, subject to the approval of the Court, that:
`

`
`Samsung infringes U.S. Patent No. 8,553,079.
`
`2.
`
`GTP hereby withdraws and moves to dismiss with prejudice its allegations that
`
`Samsung infringes claims 1, 2, 3, 6, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 25, 26, 27, 28, and 30 of

`Case 2:21-cv-00040-JRG-RSP Document 222 Filed 01/29/22 Page 2 of 4 PageID #: 10367
`
`
`
`3.
`
`Samsung agrees to limit its prior-art invalidity defenses at trial to six references,
`
`alone or in combination, together with all evidence relating to those six references. Four of the six
`
`references may be asserted as either primary or secondary references, depending on the ground.
`
`Two of the six reference will be asserted solely as secondary references. The six references are
`
`MDScope; MERL; U.S. Patent No. 6,115,482 (“Sears”); U.S. Patent No. 6,144,366 (“Numazaki”);
`
`U.S Patent No. 6,539,100 (“Amir”); and Canadian Published Patent Application CA 2,237,939A1
`
`(“Mann”). This limitation does not preclude Samsung and its experts from relying on these and
`
`additional references as background art or for demonstrating the state of the art at the time of
`
`invention (including those that relate to Samsung’s § 101 defense), consistent with the disclosures
`
`set forth in Samsung’s expert report on invalidity.
`
`The Parties therefore respectfully request that the Court enter the attached proposed order
`
`in accordance with this Joint Stipulation.
