Case No. 3:13-cv-02965-MMC (DMR)

STIPULATION OF PARTIAL DISMISSAL

Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(2), Plaintiff Synopsys, Inc. 

(“Synopsys”) and Defendant ATopTech, Inc. (“ATopTech”), by and through their respective 

counsel of record, hereby stipulate and agree as follows:

1. The Court, in its Order Construing Claims dated January 19, 2016 (ECF No. 507), 

held that the claim term “means for identifying a cross-coupled circuit contained within said 

netlist, wherein said cross-coupled circuit includes a primary net and an aggressor net” of Claims 

15-19 of U.S. Patent No. 6,405,348 (the ’348 patent) is indefinite. 

2. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) 

issued its final decision in inter partes review (IPR) case no. IPR2014-01145 finding Claims 1-4 

and 7-11 of U.S. Patent No. 6,237,127 (the ’127 patent) to be unpatentable. Synopsys did not 

appeal that decision. 

3. The PTAB issued its final decision in IPR case no. IPR2014-01150 finding, inter 

alia, Claims 33-36 of U.S. Patent No. 6,567,967 (the ’967 patent) to be unpatentable. Synopsys 

did not appeal the portion of the decision pertaining to Claims 33-36. 

4. Based on the Court’s claim construction order, the parties agree that Synopsys’ 

claim for infringement of Claims 15-19 of the ’348 patent should be dismissed with prejudice and 

that ATopTech’s defenses pertaining to Claims 15-19 of the ’348 patent should be dismissed 

without prejudice. By entering into this stipulation, neither party concedes that the rulings in the 

Court’s claim construction order are correct and Synopsys and ATopTech reserve all rights to 

appeal the Court's claim construction order and all other decisions entered prior to this stipulation.

5. In light of the PTAB’s decisions in the above-referenced IPR proceedings, the 

parties agree that all claims pertaining to Claims 1-4 and 7-11 of the ’127 patent and Claims 33-

36 of the ’967 patent are moot.
