`
`JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
`
`STIPULATION OF PARTIAL DISMISSAL OF COUNTS V, VIII, AND IX
`
`Pursuant to FED. R. CIV. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(ii), Plaintiff GREE, Inc. (“GREE” or
`
`“Plaintiff”) and Defendant Supercell Oy (“Supercell” or “Defendant”) (together, the “Parties”)
`
`hereby submit the following Partial Stipulation of Dismissal as to Counts V, VIII, and IX of the
`
`Fifth Amended Complaint (Dkt. 67), whereby Plaintiff agrees to dismiss with prejudice its
`
`claims of infringement only of U.S. Patent Nos. 10,335,682; 10,307,678; 10,398,978 (the
`
`“Dismissed Patents”), and Defendant agrees to dismiss its claims, counterclaims and defenses
`
`with respect to only the Dismissed Patents without prejudice, with each party to bear its own
`
`fees and costs as to the Dismissed Patents, based on the following express conditions to the
`
`dismissal:
`
`1.
`
`In consideration of GREE’s agreement to dismiss the Dismissed Patents from this
`
`action with prejudice, Supercell agrees to request termination of its Patent Trial and Appeal
`
`Board proceedings challenging the Dismissed Patents: PGR2020-00052; PGR2020-00042;
`
`PGR2020-00067 (the “PTAB Proceedings”) within two (2) business days of the filing of this
`
`stipulation. Supercell further agrees not to participate in the PTAB Proceedings should they be
`
`instituted by the Patent Trial and Appeal Board.

`
`2.
`
`GREE and Supercell enter into this Stipulation of Dismissal only as to GREE’s
`
`assertion of the Dismissed Patents. The parties agree that this Stipulation does not intend to
`
`waive, dismiss, extinguish, or otherwise affect, nor does it waive, dismiss, extinguish, or
`
`otherwise affect, any rights, claims, causes of action, assertions, defenses, or proceedings
`
`between the parties related to any other patents asserted in this action or as to any other patents,
`
`regardless of whether those patents are parents, children (whether continuations, continuations-
`
`in-part, divisionals, or any other form), foreign equivalents, or otherwise are related in any way
`
`to the Dismissed Patents. For avoidance of doubt, this stipulation does not intend to waive or
`
`dismiss, nor does it waive or dismiss any rights, claims, causes of action, assertions, defenses in
`
`any of Civil Actions: 2:19-cv-000070, 2:19-cv-000071, 2:19-cv-000072, 2:19-cv-000161, 2:19-
`
`cv-000172, 2:19-cv-000237, 2:19-cv-000310, 2:19-cv-000311, 2:19-cv-000413, and 2:20-cv-
`
`000113 (collectively, the “Other Civil Actions”), nor does it grant any rights to practice any
`
`patent or patent claim asserted in those proceedings, or any other patents, including the other
`
`patents asserted in this proceeding.
`
`3.
`
`Supercell specifically agrees that none of the claims of infringement GREE has
`
`asserted in this proceeding for patents other than the Dismissed Patents, the Other Civil Actions,
`
`nor any other claim of infringement of any patent that GREE may assert in the future is barred
`
`or extinguished by virtue of the dismissal of the Dismissed Patents under the doctrines of claim
`
`preclusion (res judicata), issue preclusion (collateral estoppel), license, waiver, estoppel,
`
`exhaustion, or the Kessler doctrine, and further agrees not to so argue in this or any other Court,
`
`administrative agency, or forum. Supercell’s agreement in the previous sentence applies to any
`
`patents related to the Dismissed Patents, regardless of whether those patents are parents,
`
`children (whether continuations, continuations-in-part, divisionals, or any other form), foreign
`
`equivalents, or otherwise are related in any way to the Dismissed Patents.

`
`GREE and Supercell agree that neither party will seek to have this Stipulation for
`
`Dismissal or any papers requesting termination of the PTAB Proceedings entered into evidence,
`
`referred to in expert reports, or raised in discovery or in any hearing or trial in any proceeding
`
`between the parties, including but not limited to in this action or the Other Civil Actions.
`
`5.
`
`GREE and Supercell agree that neither party will seek to have this Stipulation for
`
`Dismissal or any papers requesting termination of the PTAB Proceedings entered into evidence
`
`or otherwise referenced or used in any Patent Trial and Appeal Board proceeding between the
`
`parties, except as needed to seek termination of the PTAB Proceedings.
`
`NOW THEREFORE, in reliance upon the representations and warranties made above, it is
`
`hereby stipulated by the parties, subject to the approval of the Court, that:
