NOTICE OF RELATED CASES 

Plaintiff VoIP-Pal.com, Inc. (“VoIP-Pal”) notifies the Court that on March 24, 2021, VoIPPal filed a Notice of Voluntary Dismissal in VoIP-Pal.com, Inc. v. Apple, Inc., Civil Action No. 6:20-

cv-275-ADA (WDTX). A copy of the notice is attached as Exhibit A. VoIP-Pal also filed a Notice 

of Consent to Granting Motion to Dismiss under First-Filed Rule in VoIP-Pal.com, Inc. v. AT&T, 

Corp., Civil Action No. 6:20-cv-325-ADA (WDTX) and VoIP-Pal.com, Inc. v. Verizon 

Communications, Inc., Civil Action No. 6:20-cv-327-ADA (WDTX). A copy of the notice is 

attached as Exhibit B. 

Separately, VoIP-Pal filed a Motion to Dismiss for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction in each 

of the following declaratory-judgment actions involving the ’606 patent pending in the Northern 

Case 6:20-cv-00267-ADA Document 45 Filed 03/24/21 Page 2 of 5

District of California: Twitter, Inc. v. VoIP-Pal.com, Inc., 5:20-cv-2397-LHK (N.D. Cal.); Apple. Inc. 

v. VoIP-Pal.com, Inc., 5:20-cv-2460-LHK (N.D. Cal.); AT&T Corp. et al., v. VoIP-Pal.com, Inc., 

5:20-cv-2995-LHK (N.D. Cal.); and Cellco Partnership dba Verizon Wireless v. VoIP-Pal.com, Inc., 

5:20-cv-03092-LHK (N.D. Cal.). VoIP-Pal’s motions grant Twitter, Apple, AT&T, and Verizon a 

covenant not to sue on the ’606 patent and divests the Northern District of California of jurisdiction 

of those actions. Copies of the motions are attached as Exhibits C-F. 

VoIP-Pal believes that the filings identified above resolve or will soon resolve all pending 

actions involving the ’606 patent between VoIP-Pal and Apple, AT&T, and Verizon, who are the 

only parties in the above-identified cases that (1) have co-pending declaratory judgment actions in the 

Northern District of California and (2) are asserting first-filed status based on those actions. 

Additionally, because VoIP-Pal’s covenant not to sue in the Twitter case resolves or will soon resolve 

that action, there will soon be no pending cases in the Northern District of California involving the 

’606 patent. As such, VoIP-Pal’s WDTX cases against Amazon, Google, and Facebook will soon be 

the only pending cases in any court involving the ’606 patent. 

As stated in the parties’ Notice of Decision March 1, 2021, several venue-related issues 

remain to be resolved in the Amazon, Google, and Facebook/WhatsApp cases. In the Amazon case, 

the Court has yet to rule on VoIP-Pal’s motion to strike, or alternatively, motion for leave to conduct 

venue discovery and to file a sur-reply. See Case No. 6:20-cv-272, Dkt. No. 43. In the Google case, 

the Court has yet to rule on VoIP-Pal’s request to depose Google’s venue declarant. See Case No. 

6:20-cv-269, Dkt. No. 37. In the Facebook/WhatsApp case, the parties have yet to complete venue 

discovery and VoIP-Pal has yet to file its Opposition to Facebook/WhatsApp’s motion to transfer. 

See Case No. 6:20-cv-269, Dkt. No. 35. In light of today’s filings, VoIP-Pal believes the Amazon, 

Google, and Facebook/WhatsApp cases are in or will soon be in a position to have the stay lifted such 

Case 6:20-cv-00267-ADA Document 45 Filed 03/24/21 Page 3 of 5

that the parties can complete the discovery and briefing related to the pending motions in those cases.
