`RE: 2:22-cv-00134: E.D. Tex.
`
`Thank you for your email.  Whether Realtek or its counsel agree not to assist TCL in subsequently defending AMD’s 
`claims against TCL in this E.D. Tex. case (following any rulings in this case or the ITC case) directly relates to AMD’s 
`pending motion for stay, and Realtek’s arguments made in Dkt. No. 43 that it is AMD, not Realtek, who is seeking 
`multiple opportunities to re‐litigate issues.  As you are aware, in a prior ITC case following termination of Realtek in the 
`ITC, Realtek’s outside counsel filed an appearance for TCL.  We would like to know whether Realtek will aid in TCL’s 
`defense in any way in the E.D. Tex. case, and thus would be seeking opportunities to re‐litigate issues through TCL if 
`Realtek loses those issues in prior proceedings (including in this case which Realtek is asking Court to move 
`forward).  Please let us know Realtek’s position or if Realtek is willing to provide a positon. 
`
`Best regards,

`
`AMD does not agree to Realtek’s proposed stipulation, but is open to discussing other potential stipulations to promote 
`efficiencies after the discretionary stay is lifted, such as, for example reuse of ITC document productions, contentions, 
`expert reports, fact/expert testimony, etc.   
` 
`At a minimum even absent stipulation, and as you are aware, there are procedures available for promoting efficiencies 
`after the stay has been lifted, such as requesting transfer of the Commission record and/or seeking discovery with 
`respect to relevant material generated in the course of the ITC proceeding, but that are not technically part of the 
`Commission record.

` 
`Adam,
`
`Your assumption is not correct. AMD is seeking a stay of the district court litigation, not Realtek. There is no
`rationale for “reciprocity.”
`
`In connection with its motion for a stay of the district court case, we are asking AMD if it will stipulate to be
`bound by any final determination by the Commission in the 1318 investigation that Realtek products do not
`infringe the ‘053, ‘547, ‘381 or ‘628 patents, any final determination by the Commission that any claims of those
`patents are invalid, and any other determination adverse to AMD related to the merits of the claims and
`defenses asserted in the 1318 investigation.
`
`Best regards,
`Robert

`Hi Mark, Blake, and Robert, 
`
`  
`Based on your call with Eric last week, AMD understands that Realtek stated it would oppose a motion by AMD for 
`discretionary stay of the 2:22‐cv‐00134 action pending the proceedings in the ‐1318 ITC Investigation.  Please let us 
`know as soon as possible if that is not the case.  We note that TCL has confirmed it will be filing a mandatory stay motion 
`in this action.
