`
`
`JOINT STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER OF DISMISSAL
`
`Pursuant to this Court’s rules, Plaintiffs IGT and IGT Canada Solutions ULC (“IGT”) and
`
`Defendant Zynga Inc. (“Zynga”) conferred to narrow the case in July of 2022. Dkt. 89.
`
`Subsequently, IGT dropped numerous asserted claims and Zynga dropped numerous asserted prior
`
`art references. However, IGT continued to evaluate whether it could reduce the number of asserted
`
`patents in this case prior to expert discovery.
`
`1.
`
`In furtherance of the parties’ narrowing discussions and pursuant to the Court’s
`
`rules on narrowing, IGT hereby agrees to reduce the number of asserted patents from six to four.
`
`2.
`
`IGT agrees to dismiss with prejudice its claims with respect to U.S. Patent Nos.
`
`8,708,791 and 7,303,473. See Dkt. 70 ¶¶ 67–79 (Count I), 112–131 (Count IV).
`
`3.
`
`IGT and Zynga shall each pay their own legal fees and costs incurred through the
`
`date of the above dismissals in connection with litigation of each of these patents.
`
`NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. Proc. 41(a)(1)(A)(ii), IGT and Zynga
`
`hereby stipulate, subject to the approval of the Court, to the following order:
`
`
`
`Case 6:21-cv-00331-ADA Document 100 Filed 09/08/22 Page 2 of 2
`
`All of IGT’s claims based on any of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,708,791 and 7,303,473 are hereby
`
`dismissed with prejudice. This order does not affect IGT’s claims that are based on any other
`
`patent.
