For each of the patents, Motorola broadly accuses "operating systems, office software, server software, and/or communications and
messaging software", but the specifically accused products then tend to be more limited in scope. A matrix on the next page shows the
relationship between the patents-in-suit and the accused products.

On 17 January 2011, the parties filed a stipulation to stay the case for the duration of the ITC investigation no. 337-TA-752. The parties
agreed that Motorola would file a 2nd amended complaint dropping one patent. On 21 January 2011, the court ordered accordingly.

On 23 December 2010, Motorola asserted this patent in a different complaint filed with the same court
(case 3:10-cv-00826) and announced that it would seek dismissal without prejudice of the related claims here.
On 18 January 2011, Motorola's 2nd amended complaint dropped this patent.
5,311,516 ("516") Paging system using message fragmentation to redistribute traffic
In the list above, an asterisk (*) denotes patents also asserted by Motorola in an ITC complaint (investigation no. 337-TA-752).
By the time this case was stayed for the duration of the ITC proceeding, the '516 patent was the only patent asserted in this case without
being simultaneously asserted before the ITC, and Motorola agreed to stay the related infringement claim nevertheless.

The asserted patents were also asserted by Motorola in a complaint in the Western District of Wisconsin (case no. 3:10-cv-00700).
On April 1, the Wisconsin court ordered the transfer to Washington, where it was entered on April 8.

360 Elite, Xbox 360 Arcade." For the '931 and '583 patents, Motorola accuses "various models of the Xbox 360, including without

patent, Microsoft additionally accuses "Motorola network router products, including at least the Motorola Mesh Wide Area Network AP
7181 and the Motorola CPEi150." A matrix below the list of asserted patents shows the relationship between Microsoft's patents-in-suit
