`we do not hear from you, however, we will count GTP as opposed.
`
`Thank you,

`Subject: Gesture Technology Partners, LLC v. Huawei Device Co., Ltd. et al., 2:21-cv-0040-JRG -- Supplementing Contentions
`
`Counsel,
`
`Defendants will seek the Court’s leave to supplement their Invalidity & Subject-Matter Eligibility Contentions (“Contentions”), served
`July 6, 2021.
`
`As you are aware, Defendants’ Contentions disclosed, among others, two prior art systems: (1) TV Controller Using Hand Gestures
`and Related Interactive Computer Graphics Applications (“MERL”), and (2) 3D Image Control with Hand Gestures, including Control of
`Molecular Biology Modeling (“MDScope”). As you are also aware, Defendants subpoenaed documents from Mitsubishi Electric
`Research Laboratories, Inc. (creator of the MERL system) and the Beckman Institute, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
`(creator of the MDScope system).
`
`In response, Mitsubishi Labs produced a video, which we served on September 2, that provides additional background and support
`for the disclosed MERL system. In addition, the Beckman Institute produced the six publications, which we served on August 25, that
`provide additional background and support for the disclosed MDScope system. Although Defendants believe their Contentions
`served July 6 are entirely sufficient with respect to these prior art systems and do not require supplementation, out of an abundance
`of caution Defendants will seek leave to supplement their Contentions with this additional background and supporting evidence. For
`your reference, you will receive a link in a separate email to download the video clip and six publications.
`
`Defendants’ proposed supplementation to their Contentions will be included in the separate link for download, with changes shown
`in redline. Please let us know as soon as possible (but no later than Wednesday, September 15) whether GTP will oppose
`Defendants’ motion for leave.
`
`Thank you,
`David
