`
`2. Samsung agrees to and does withdraw its Motion to Strike Supplemental Expert Reports
`
`of Plaintiff’s Experts David Kennedy and Andreas Groehn (Dkt. No. 133). To allow
`
`Samsung to address and respond to the supplemental opinions set forth in the supplemental
`
`expert reports, the Parties request that the Court: (a) permit Samsung to file a single
`
`supplemental brief of no more than seven (7) pages as to its dispositive motions and
`
`motions to strike expert testimony (including Daubert motions) that are impacted by GTP’s
`
`supplemental expert reports no later than January 28, 2022; (b) permit Samsung to serve
`
`a supplemental rebuttal expert report no later than February 7, 2022; and (c) permit GTP
`
`to file a single responsive supplemental brief of no more than seven (7) pages no later than
`
`February 11, 2022.
`
`3. GTP agrees to and does withdraw its Motion for Protective Order (Dkt. No. 92). Samsung
`
`agrees that it will not inquire at trial about litigation funding, litigation funders, or fee
`
`arrangements. GTP agrees that, if asked at trial, Dr. Pryor will confirm that he is the 100%
`
`owner of GTP, that in the event GTP obtains any recovery in this case he may choose to
`
`have GTP distribute to him all net proceeds (i.e., after paying attorneys, expenses, etc.),
`
`and that if GTP obtains its requested damages in this case and he chooses to have GTP
`
`distribute to him all net proceeds he expects to receive many millions of dollars.
`
`4. GTP represents that it produced its documents from the negotiation of the Huawei License
`
`to Samsung on January 24, 2022. The parties agree to and do withdraw the following
`
`motions for all purposes:
`
`•
`
`•
`
`•
`
`Samsung’s Motion to Compel (Dkt. No. 100);
`
`Samsung’s Motion for Leave (Dkt. No. 120);
`
`Samsung’s Motion for Leave (Dkt. No. 127); and
`
`
`
`Case 2:21-cv-00040-JRG-RSP Document 229 Filed 02/01/22 Page 3 of 3 PageID #: 10394
`
`•
`
`Samsung’s Motion to Compel (Dkt. No. 128).
`
`After due consideration, the Court GRANTS the Stipulation. It is therefore
`
`ORDERED that the posture of the pending motions are affected as outlined herein.
