REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION 
The Court, having reviewed and considered: (1) Plaintiffs Contour IP Holding, LLC 
("CIPH") and iON Worldwide, Inc.'s ("iON") (collectively, "Plaintiffs") Motion to Dismiss iON 
as a Co-Plaintiff (the "Motion"), (D.I. 73), in which Plaintiffs request that "the Court dismiss with 
prejudice iON [] from the lawsuit" on the basis that iON is not a necessary party and lacks 
standing to maintain infringement claims against Defendant GoPro, Inc. ("GoPro") relating to the 
Asserted Patents, (id. at 2); (2) GoPro's Response in which it notes that it "does not in principle 
oppose" Plaintiffs' Motion, provided that: "(a) the dismissal is with prejudice, as indicated in the 
Motion; [] (b) GoPro reserves all rights and remedies it may have against iON in connection with 
this case, including the right to seek recovery of attorneys' fees and costs; [and (c)] GoPro 
reserves all rights and remedies it may have against CIPH in connection with adding iON as a 
Plaintiff to this case[,]" (D.I. 75 at 1); and (3) Plaintiffs' Reply, (D.I. 76), recommends that 
Plaintiffs' Motion be GRANTED and that iON be dismissed as a co-Plaintiff with prejudice from 
this lawsuit.

Civ. P. 72(b)(l), and D. Del. LR 72.1. The parties may serve and file specific written objections 

within fourteen (14) days after being served with a copy of this Report and Recommendation.
