`Re: USPN 6,411,941 // IPR2021‐01406 (Roku/Vizio v. Ancora) // IPR2021‐01338 (Nintendo v Ancora) before APJs Dang, 
`Chang, and Cherry 
`
`Honorable Board,  
`
`Petitioners Roku/Vizio and Petitioner Nintendo seek authorization to file a motion for additional discovery in each of 
`their respective IPRs against Patent Owner Ancora’s 941 patent. Though the proceedings are separate, Petitioners make 
`this identical request jointly for efficiency and consistency. 
`
`Specifically, Petitioners in each proceeding are seeking discovery of unproduced licenses referenced in Patent Owner 
`Ancora’s Responses and in Exhibit 2030. See e.g., IPR2021‐01406, POR [Confidential] at pp. 69, 70; EX2030 
`[Confidential],¶ 7. Based on the public record, moreover, it appears as if Ancora has reached settlement agreements 
`with at least TCL, Sony, and Motorola/Lenovo that have not been produced in these proceedings.

`

`

`Petitioners and Patent Owner have met and conferred. Patent Owner Ancora will not oppose a motion for additional 
`discovery. The motion is needed because Patent Owner Ancora has represented that confidentiality provisions of certain 
`license agreements prevent it from producing them absent an order from an official tribunal. The Board’s grant of a 
`motion for additional discovery would resolve Patent Owner Ancora’s apparent production hurdle.  

`The proposed Protective Order that Ancora filed with its PORs in each proceeding, if entered by the Board, would cover 
`any produced confidential license agreements, and the parties therefore ask that it be entered. 

`The parties are available for a conference call should one be deemed necessary. 

`Best regards,  
`Jon Wright 
`Lead Counsel for Roku/VIZIO
