3

attention to three decisions: (1) the Eastern District of Texas’ recent decision in Contentguard

4

6

Exhibit B), (3) and the Northern District of California’s recent decision in Google Inc. v.

Contentguard Holdings, Inc., 3:14-cv-00498, Dkt. No. 42 (N.D. Cal. Apr. 15, 2014) (op. attached as

9

Exhibit C). The Contentguard and Google decisions present facts similar to those at-issue here and

10

are therefore relevant to issues raised in the pending motion to dismiss, raised at oral argument in

11

relation to the pending motion to dismiss and raised by Google’s notifications to the Court that it and

12

the other defendants in the related Texas cases have filed motions to transfer and/or stay the related

13

Texas cases.

15

If it would assist the Court, Defendants would be pleased to file a short, supplemental brief
explaining Contentguard and Google’s effect on Defendants’ motion to dismiss.
