`
`WHEREAS, PMP/Altria asserted that Reynolds infringes one or more claims of U.S.

`WHEREAS, Reynolds asserted CN 667 as prior art to the ’374 patent under 35 U.S.C. §

`
`WHEREAS, Reynolds has acknowledged that the sole inventor of the ’374 patent is also
`
`the same sole inventor of CN 667;
`
`WHEREAS, a reference that is not “by another” does not meet the requirements to be prior

`
`NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties hereby stipulate and agree as follows:
`
`1.
