`Subject: Proposed Amended Infringement Contentions - Amazon
` 
`Counsel,
` 
`In view of various discussions between counsel for PersonalWeb and Amazon regarding selection of
`claim construction terms as well as other developments in the cases, PersonalWeb seeks to amend
`its Infringement Contentions for both Amazon and Twitch and hereby requests Amazon’s and
`Twitch’s consent for PersonalWeb to make this amendment.
` 
`Attached are redline copies of the original Infringement Contentions and Exhibits A-C showing the
`
`

`

`Case 5:18-md-02834-BLF Document 452-10 Filed 06/25/19 Page 3 of 162
`
`proposed changes that PersonalWeb seeks to make.  As you will see, there are relatively few
`changes. Several of them are just clarifying language and changes for consistency between the
`different Exhibits. Claims 29 and 30 of the ‘420 have been removed from Exhibit C to reflect
`PersonalWeb’s withdrawal of those claims as discussed in our claim construction conferences of
`counsel. The table of asserted claims on page 2 of the Infringement Contention pleading has been
`changed to correspond to the claims listed in the Exhibits. Last, clarifications regarding the
`treatment of unlicensed content has been added to the Exhibits.
` 
`Redline copies of the original Infringement Contentions and Exhibits regarding Twitch will be sent
`shortly in a separate email. The proposed amendments in the Twitch Infringement Contentions
`generally correspond with the proposed amendments in the Amazon Infringement Contentions.
` 
`We are not aware of any prejudice to Amazon or Twitch that would result from PersonalWeb making
`the proposed amendments.
` 
`Please advise if Amazon and Twitch if they consent to PersonalWeb to make this amendment and/or
`will not oppose a request by PersonalWeb to the Court for leave to so amend its Infringement
`Contentions.

`
`Pursuant to Patent Local Rules 3-1 and 3-2, Plaintiff PersonalWeb Technologies, LLC
`(“Plaintiff” or “PersonalWeb”) hereby makes the following Disclosure of Asserted Claims and
`Infringement Contentions to Defendant Twitch Interactive, Inc. (“Twitch” or “Defendant”). These
`discloses are preliminary and subject to change based upon discovery and the Court’s claim
`construction rulings:
`I.
`PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
`In making these contentions, Plaintiff has not yet received any discovery from Defendant
`regarding their infringing methods and systems and has not had access to the source code of the
`accused methods and systems. Plaintiff has, however researched available information, including (1)
`Defendant website(s), (2) publicly available information published by Defendants’ about their accused
`products and services, and (3) publicly available statements and information describing Defendants’
`accused products and services. PersonalWeb therefore reserves the right to amend its Infringement
`Contentions under Patent L.R. 3-6(c).
`Defendants engage in the allegedly infringing conduct through computer systems operating
`proprietary software. Defendants do not publicly disclose the precise operation of their computer
`systems and do not publicly disclose their source code. Because Defendants have not publicly
`disclosed the specific operation of their accused products and services and do not publicly disclose
`their source code for those products and services, PersonalWeb is inherently limited in the degree of
`specificity it can provide in the preliminary infringement contentions. Under these circumstances, the
`Northern District of California recognizes that the plaintiff will not be able to provide highly specified
`infringement contentions and should be permitted further discovery to supplement initial contentions
`with additional information. SpeedTrack, Inc. v. Amazon.com, Inc., No. 4:09-cv-04479-JSW (KAW),
`2018 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 112885, at *16 (N.D. Cal. July 6, 2018). Similarly, Patent Local Rule 3-1
`“does not require [the patent owner] to produce evidence of infringement”, but rather requires that the
`patent owner merely provide the accused infringer “with notice of infringement beyond that which is
`provided by the mere language of the patents themselves.” Network Caching Technology, LLC v.
`Novell, Inc., 2003 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 9881, 2003 WL 21699799, *4 (N.D. Cal. 2003).

`of the claims being asserted, upon receiving discovery from Defendant.

`
`1 “Webpage base file” refers to the initial file served by a web server in response to a request
`for a webpage. Usually, but not always, this is an HTML file. A webpage base file is sometimes
`referred to as an “index file,” but this term is underinclusive of what is typically contained in a
`webpage base file.

`
`The accused instrumentality for categories 1-2 includes software instructions executing in
`Twitch’s web server system, which cannot at this stage be identified by name. Upon information and
`belief, content-based ETag for a webpage base file/webpage asset file values are calculated by such
`software instructions controlling processors to apply the MD5 message digest algorithm to the content
`of the file/object, wherein any two versions of a file/object having identical content will have identical
`associated E-Tag values.
`Before being received in conditional HTTP GET requests, such content-based ETag values
`were previously sent to the other computer in an ETag header field of an HTTP 200 message in
`response to an HTTP GET request for that object.
`The HTTP 304 response message indicates to the other computer that the computer that sent
`the conditional GET request that it is permitted to access the cached copy of the content of the
`file/object referenced in the request for the purposes of that request, such as to re-serve it or use it in
`rendering the Twitch webpage. The HTTP 200 response message, in contrast, indicates to the
`requesting computer that it is not authorized to access the cached copy of the content of the file/object
`referenced in the request, for the purposes of the request, and should instead access the new content
`contained in the HTTP 200 response message for the purposes of the request, such as to re-serve it or
`use it in rendering the webpage of the website operator.
`The accused instrumentality for category 4 includes software instructions executing in
`Twitch’s web server system, which cannot at this stage be identified by name. Upon information and
`belief, content-based fingerprint values are calculated by such software instructions controlling
`processors to apply the MD5 message digest algorithm to the content of the webpage asset file
`file/object plus a seed value, wherein any two versions of a file/object having identical content will
`have identical associated E-Tag values when the same seed value is used. The fingerprint is inserted
`into the filename/URI for the webpage asset file and used for cache-busting in a couple of different
`ways. In one way (‘544 infringement), the browser rendering a Twitch webpage initially receives a
`Twitch webpage base file which references one or more URIs with fingerprints for Twitch asset files
`needed to render the webpage. The browser obtains the referenced webpage asset files and caches the

`
`content of those files indexed to their URI that include their fingerprints. When called to again render
`the webpage, the browser sends up a conditional GET request for the webpage base file, which will
`return an HTTP 304 message if the content of any webpage base file (and hence its fingerprint) has
`not changed and therefore the content-based ETag value of. The HTTP 304 message indicates to the
`browser that it is re-permitted to use the cached webpage base file. Because all the webpage asset files
`referenced in the cached file have the same fingerprint value as they did when they were cached, the
`browser will be able to render the webpage using the cached webpage asset files and will not have to
`retrieve them again. If, however, the content of an asset file has changed since the time it was cached,
`its fingerprint would have changed, thereby changing the content of the webpage base file (that will
`now reference the new fingerprint value), thereby changing its ETag value. Therefore, the conditional
`HTTP GET request for the webpage base file will return an HTTP 200 message with, inter alia, the
`new ETag value for the webpage base file and the new content. The Browser will read the new
`webpage base file, and for any webpage base file whose fingerprint has changed, will retrieve that file
`because its URI is not contained in its cache index. In this manner, Twitch can precisely control which
`asset file the browser reuses because it still has the latest authorized content and which asset file
`containing the current authorized content it must obtain to use in rendering the webpage. This method
`may also be practiced with no conditional GET request, in which the browser is always instructed to
`get a new webpage base file which will prevent the cache from using any cached webpage asset file
`that no longer comprises the latest authorized content as just described.

`3-1(c): Claim Charts
`Attached as Exhibits A to D hereto are claim charts for each patent-in-suit identifying
`specifically where and how each limitation of each asserted claim is found within each Accused
`Instrumentality. PersonalWeb does not contend that any claim limitation should be interpreted under
`35 U.S.C. § 112(6). While not required by the Patent Local Rules, as a courtesy, Exhibits A and D, in
`turn, refer to Annexure A, which includes more specifics about alleged infringing acts.

`(d)
`
`3-1(d): Indirect Infringement
`Subject to change with discovery, on the present record, PersonalWeb asserts that Twitch
`directly infringes and that the direct infringement is met by their actions or actions for which they have
`vicarious directly liability. Discovery may show that Twitch is also contributing to or inducing other’s
`infringement.
`(e)
`3-1(e): Doctrine of Equivalents
`Subject to change with discovery and the Court’s claim construction order, PersonalWeb
`alleges that each limitation of each asserted claim is literally present. PersonalWeb also
`believes that any claim element not found to be literally present in the Accused Instrumentality would
`be present under the doctrine of equivalents.
`In Twitch’s Responsive Claim Construction Brief (Dkt. 412), it appears to contend that its
`proposed construction, “an identifier used to locate and access a data item that is generated by
`processing the sequence of bits [of the data item / of the particular data item] of the claim term,” for
`“content-dependent name” (‘310: claims 20 and 69, ‘420: claim 25), and specifically that an identifier
`be “created from the data in the data item,” and that this somehow includes a requirement that the
`identifier is generated only from the data in the data items. Dkt 412 at 12-13.
`In Twitch’s Responsive Claim Construction Brief (Dkt. 412), it contends that its proposed
`construction, “being based on a computation where the input is all of the data in the specific part” for
`“being based on a first function of the contents of the specific part” (‘544: claim 46) and “a value
`created by a computation on the sequence of bits that makes up the part,” for “part value” (‘544: claims
`46 and 52) includes a requirement that the part value be based on a computation that only uses the
`contents of a specific part. Dkt. 412 at 18-20.
`In Twitch’s Responsive Claim Construction Brief (Dkt. 412), it also contends that its proposed
`construction, “computation where the input is the one or more part values,” for “function of the one
`or more of part values” (‘544: claim 46) includes a requirement that the input to the computation is
`only the data in a part value. Dkt. 214 at 18-20.

`
`(g)
`
`While PersonalWeb does not understand how Twitch’s proposed constructions for these claim
`terms include a requirement of using only the content of a data item, to the extent that the Court adopts
`Twitch’s proposed claim construction and includes a requirement of using only the content of a data
`item and to the extent that Twitch uses a computation based on more than the content of a data item,
`PersonalWeb contends that the claims are infringed under the doctrine of equivalents.
`To the extent that Twitch has not raised this “only” issue in construing other asserted
`independent claims (e.g., ‘442, claim 10, ‘420, claim 166), but will assert in the future that terms in
`these claims incorporate constructions of construed terms in other patents, PersonalWeb contends that
`these claims are infringed under the doctrine of equivalents as well.
`(f)
`3-1(f): Priority Date
`The priority date of the ‘310, ‘420, ‘442 and ‘544 patents is April 11, 1995.
`3-1(g): Self-Practice
`PersonalWeb does not rely upon its manufacture and use of any product that practices the
`asserted claims.
`(h)
`3-1(h): Damages Period
`The time of the first infringement is presently unknown. The start of claimed damages is
`September 13, 2012, six years prior to PersonalWeb’s filing of the Twitch action. The end of claimed
`damages period is December 26, 2016, the expiration date of the last asserted patent to expire.
`(i)
`3-1(i) Willful Infringement
`Twitch has insufficient information to decide whether it will allege willful infringement but
`reserves the right to make such allegation if facts obtained during discovery so warrant.
`III.
`3-2. Document Production Accompanying Disclosure
`With the “Disclosure of Asserted Claims and Infringement Contentions,” the party claiming
`patent infringement shall produce to each opposing party or make available for inspection and
`copying:
`
`(a) PersonalWeb has no such documents in its possession, custody or control.

`20. A computer—implemented
`
`Twitch implemented the claimed method in a system that includes web host servers
`
`method operable in a system
`
`which includes a plurality of
`
`computers, the method
`
`comprising:
`
`operated by or on behalfof Twitch (“Twitch web servers”) and a plurality ofcomputers
`
`directly or indirectly [A1] connected to Twitch web servers and each other via the
`
`Internet. Upon information and belief, the Twitch web servers are running nginx.
`
`The connected computers communicate via messages in accordance with the HTTP
`
`1.1 protocol, RFC 2616, including but not limited to its sections regarding GET
`
`requests ("HTTP GET requests) (e.g., Sec. 9.3), conditional GET requests ("HTTP
`
`conditional GET requests") with If None-Match Headers (e.g., Sec. 14.9.4), ETags
`
`(e.g., Sec. 14.19), 304 messages ("HTTP 304 messages") (e.g., Sec. 10.3.5), 200
`
`messages ("HTTP 200 messages") (e.g., Sec. 10.2.1), and cache control directives
`
`(e.g., Secs. 13.1, 13.2, 13.3.2-4, 14.9, 14.21, 14.26) to implement the cache control
`described herein.

`
`controlling distribution of content
`
`Twitch controls the distribution of its hosted webpage base file content (content) to
`
`from a first computer to at least
`
`one other computer, in response
`
`other computers such as outside intermediate cache servers and computers running
`
`web browsers (“browsers,” “browser computers”) (collectively, other computers) with
`
`a Twitch web server (a first computer) [Al]. This is done in response to a conditional
`
`to a request obtained by a first
`
`HTTP GET request for Twitch webpage base file content (a request), the request
`
`device in the system from a
`
`second device in the system,
`
`obtained by a Twitch web server (a first device in the system from another computer
`
`(a second device in the system), such as an outside intermediate cache server or a
`
`computer rlmning a browser [A3, A6, A8-A10, A16-A17].

`content-dependent name of a
`
`particular data item, the
`
`value (a content-dependent name) of the content of a webpage base file (a particular
`
`data item) referenced in the request [A6, A8]. That ETag value is calculated by
`
`applying the IVIDS message digest algorithm (a function) to the content ofthe requested
`
`content-dependent name being
`
`webpage base file at the time of the ETag’s calculation. That ETag value is therefore
`

`
`[A6, A8]. The ETag value was generated by the Twitch web server as described above
`
`before the webpage base file was previously sent in the HTTP 200 response.
