`
`Counsel for TCL,
`
`
`Please confirm whether TCL agrees to be bound by all rulings in this E.D. Tex. case as the result of any adjudication
`against Realtek in this action, including but not limited to (i) validity, (ii) infringement rulings on Realtek chips as applying
`to TCL TVs containing those chips, and (iii) infringement rulings on GPUs that are subject of adjudication as applying to
`any TCL TVs containing the same GPU (whether incorporated in a Realtek chip or not). If TCL does not agree to be so
`bound by any adjudication against Realtek or subject GPUs in this action, and those rulings occur prior to the case here
`proceeding against TCL, please confirm whether TCL agrees not to receive or accept assistance by Realtek or its counsel
`in subsequently defending AMD’s claims against TCL in this E.D. Tex. case.
`
`
`Similarly, please confirm whether TCL agrees to be bound by all rulings in the ‐1318 ITC case, as applying to TCL in this
`E.D. Tex. action, for example, validity and infringement based upon the GPUs adjudicated in the ITC case.
`
`

`
`
`Given TCL’s motion for mandatory stay we understand that it is TCL’s position that the dates in the procedural
`schedule or in any dates in a proposed docket control order or discovery order would not apply to TCL. That
`said, please let us know whether you have any opposition to a motion to extend deadlines as to Realtek
`regarding a docket control order (currently set for 8/2) or proposed discovery order (including initial
`disclosures) until September 20, 2022, to allow the Court sufficient time to rule on the pending motions to
`stay. Please let us know as soon as possible if you would oppose or take a position.
`
`
`
`Best,
`
`Eric
