`
`Counsel,
`
`We authorize Petitioner to file the stipulation into the records of IPR2021-00585 and IPR2021-00586 only after the
`stipulation has been filed in the district court. We do not authorize additional briefing from either party at this time.

`
`Dear Board,
`
`
`
`Patent Owner opposes Petitioner’s belated request to enter any stipulation into the administrative
`record.
`
` If the Board grants leave to enter the stipulation, Petitioner is not entitled to any further briefing. It is
`too late for the usual surreply and sur-surreply sequence. However, Patent Owner should be given
`two pages of briefing to address the negligible effect Petitioner’s belated stipulation has on Fintiv
`Factor 4 (overlap).

`Subject: IPR2021-00585; -00586 – Assertion of Sotera-type Stipulations
`
`Dear Honorable Judges, 
`
`  
`Petitioner R.J. Reynolds stipulates, in accordance with the Board’s precedential Sotera case (IPR2020‐01019, Paper 12), 
`that if trial is instituted in the above noted IPRs, none of the Petitioner or other noted Real Parties in Interest will pursue 
`in district court litigation any ground raised or that could have been reasonably raised in the above‐noted IPRs such that 
`there will be no overlap of invalidity issues between the parallel district court proceeding and these inter partes 
`reviews.   
`
`  
`Petitioner requests authorization to memorialize this stipulation in the PTAB files in these matters to make them of 
`record.  Petitioner has conferred with Patent Owner and they oppose this request to enter the stipulation into the 
`file.  Regardless, the stipulation has been made and will be similarly memorialized in the district court proceeding in the 
`same fashion as Patent Owner’s stipulations in other matters (e.g., IPR2020‐00921) in the dispute between the parties. 
`
`  
`Petitioner is available to discuss at the Panel’s convenience. 
`
`  
`Best Regards, 
`
`  
`Matthew Johnson
