`
`TO ALL PARTIES AND THEIR COUNSEL OF RECORD:
`
`PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that on June 1, 2018 at 1:30 p.m. in the Courtroom
`
`of the Honorable Dana M. Sabraw of the above-entitled court, located at 333 W.
`
`Broadway, San Diego, California 92101, Plaintiff Apple Inc. (“Apple”) will and
`
`hereby does move for summary judgment.
`
`Summary judgment is warranted in this case on multiple grounds. Just as in
`
`the prior case between Wi-LAN and Apple, Wi-LAN simply cannot stretch its
`
`nearly 20-year-old patent disclosure to cover a modern-day iPhone. The accused
`
`Apple iPhones do not infringe the asserted patents because, under Wi-LAN’s
`
`10
`
`infringement theory, they do not allocate bandwidth to multiple “users” across
`
`11
`
`“user connections.” Wi-LAN’s infringement theory also requires multiple actors
`
`12
`
`for infringement (Apple and a network carrier), so Apple is not responsible for
`
`13
`
`direct infringement. The accused iPhones that do not use VoLTE also cannot
`
`14
`
`infringe under Wi-LAN’s infringement theory. Apple does not infringe the ’040
`
`15
`
`patent because Wi-LAN cannot identify any “specified connection” under the
`
`16
`
`Court’s claim construction that has a priority. Wi-LAN also cannot sustain its
`
`17
`
`willful infringement claim as a matter of law, because there is no evidence of
`
`18
`
`“egregious” conduct by Apple, particularly where Wi-LAN completely changed its
`
`19
`
`theory of infringement, and the accused products, three years into the case. Finally,
`
`20
`
`Wi-LAN cannot maintain its infringement claims against accused iPhones
`
`21
`
`containing an Intel chipset based on the Wi-LAN/Intel license agreement.
`
`22
`
`This Motion is made pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7.1, and is based on this
`
`23
`
`Notice of Motion and Motion, the accompanying Memorandum of Points and
`
`24
`
`Authorities, the Separate Statement of Undisputed Material Facts, supporting
`
`25
`
`declaration and exhibits, all of which are served and filed herewith, the complete
`
`26
`
`records and files of this action, and any argument or additional evidence that is
`
`27
`
`permitted by this Court.
