`
`JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
`
`
`
`MAXELL, LTD.,
`
`v.
`
`APPLE INC.,
`
`
`
`MAXELL, LTD.’S UNOPPOSED MOTION TO DISMISS
`WITHOUT PREJUDICE THE '794 PATENT
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Case 5:19-cv-00036-RWS Document 679 Filed 03/19/21 Page 2 of 5 PageID #: 33572
`
`
`
`Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(2), and in an effort to streamline issues for the above-
`
`captioned case, Plaintiff Maxell, Ltd. (“Maxell”) hereby agrees to dismiss without prejudice
`
`certain claims from these actions.
`
`
`
`Specifically, Maxell agrees to dismiss without prejudice its claims of infringement of U.S.
`
`Patent No. 6,329,794 (the “’794 patent”). Apple does not object to Maxell reducing its damages
`
`total based on this dismissal by reducing the total number of accused units.
`
`
`
`In addition to dismissing without prejudice its remaining claims of infringement of the ’794
`
`patent against Apple, Maxell agrees not to institute any legal action or administrative proceeding
`
`against Apple or any Apple products on the ’794 patent until the conclusion of the inter partes
`
`review proceedings on that patent (IPR2020-00199), which for avoidance of doubt also includes
`
`any appeals from the PTAB’s Final Written Decision in IPR2020-00199. Maxell further agrees
`
`that no Apple product shall be used to satisfy any claim or claim element of the ’794 patent asserted
`
`by Maxell or its successors and assigns against any party until the conclusion of IPR2020-00199,
`
`including any appeals from the PTAB’s Final Written Decision.
`
`
`
`Apple does not oppose this Motion.
`
`At this time, Maxell maintains all claims and defenses not specifically enumerated above.
