`
`
`MEMORANDUM
`Plaintiff Philips North American LLC (“Philips”) respectfully moves the Court under
`Fed. R. Civ. P 15(a)(2) and 16(b)(4) for leave to amend its First Amended Complaint to
`withdraw all allegations of infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,976,958 (“the ’958 patent”) and
`9,314,192 (“the ’192 Patent”). Attached as Exhibit A is a copy of Philips’s Proposed Second
`Amended Complaint. The only change between Philips’s Second Amended Complaint and
`Philips’s Proposed Second Amended Complaint is that all references to the ’958 Patent and ’192
`Patent have been removed.
`With regards to the ’958 Patent, on August 10, 2020 Philips filed a disclaimer of all the
`asserted claims of the ’958 patent with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. (See Exhibit B.)
`As a result of this disclaimer, those claims can therefore no longer be asserted against Fitbit or
`any other parties. Accordingly, good cause exists to allow the requested amendment.
`With regards to the ’192 Patent, the parties have reached an agreement to narrow the
`scope of this dispute and remove claims related to the ’192 Patent from dispute. As part of that
`agreement, Philips, on behalf of itself and any successors-in-interest, agrees to hereby
`unconditionally and irrevocably covenant not to sue, or otherwise assert claims, of the ’192
`Patent against any Garmin products for past, present, and future infringement as those
`products existed on December 1, 2020.
`Counsel for Philips has conferred with counsel for Garmin with respect to the relief
`requested in this Motion and counsel for Garmin has confirmed that they do not oppose the relief
`requested in this Motion.
