`
`Google moves pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 50(a) for judgment as a matter
`
`of law (“JMOL”) of no damages, or in the alternative nominal damages.
`
`I.
`
`
`
`LEGAL STANDARD
`
`Although 35 U.S.C. § 284 provides that upon a finding of infringement, “the court shall
`
`award . . . damages adequate to compensate for the infringement” “in an amount no less than a
`
`reasonable royalty,” Dow Chem. Co. v. Mee Indus., Inc., 341 F.3d 1370, 1381 (Fed. Cir. 2003),
`
`the patentee bears the burden of presenting sufficient evidence thereof, TecSec, Inc. v. Adobe Inc.,
`
`978 F.3d 1278, 1291 (Fed. Cir. 2020). Accordingly, “[t]he statute does not require an award of
`
`damages if none are proven that adequately tie a dollar amount to the infringing acts.” Id. The
`
`statute is also satisfied by awarding nominal damages. See AOS Holding Co. v. Bradford White
`
`Corp., 2021 WL 5411103, at *38 (D. Del. Mar. 31, 2021), aff’d, 2022 WL 3053891 (Fed. Cir.
`
`2022) ($1 award for direct infringement); Info-Hold, Inc. v. Muzak LLC, 783 F.3d 1365, 1372
`
`(Fed. Cir. 2015) (“Where the patentee’s proof is weak, the court may award nominal damages.”).
`
`Under apportionment principles, the “ultimate combination of royalty base and royalty rate
`
`must reflect the value attributable to the infringing features of the product, and no more.” Finjan,
`
`Inc. v. Blue Coat Sys., Inc., 879 F.3d 1299, 1309 (Fed. Cir. 2018) (citation omitted). Although a
`
`“reasonable royalty analysis ‘necessarily involves an element of approximation and uncertainty, a
`
`trier of fact must have some factual basis for a determination of a reasonable royalty.’” Id. at 1312
`
`(vacating denial of damages JMOL); Lucent Techs., Inc. v. Gateway, Inc., 580 F.3d 1301, 1336
`
`(Fed. Cir. 2009) (vacating denial of damages JMOL where “no reasonable jury could have found
`
`that [patentee] carried its burden”). “The Court must determine not whether there is literally no
`
`evidence supporting the non-moving party, but whether there is evidence upon which the jury
`
`could properly find for the non-moving party.” Stewart v. Walbridge, Aldinger Co., 882 F. Supp.

`
`
`
`
`Case 1:13-cv-00919-JLH Document 541 Filed 05/04/23 Page 3 of 12 PageID #: 55566
`
`1441, 1443 (D. Del. 1995). When an expert presents “little more than conclusory evidence,” the
`
`record lacks substantial evidence. Wechsler v. Macke Int'l Trade, Inc., 486 F.3d 1286, 1294 (Fed.
`
`Cir. 2007) (reversing denial of damages JMOL).
`
`II.
`
`ARGUMENT
`
`To obtain his proposed reasonable royalty, Mr. Weinstein uses four Settlement
`
`Agreements—the “Microsoft License,” (PX0075); the “Samsung License,” (PX0077); “Microsoft
`
`Mobile License” (PX0078); and the “Apple License,” (PX0066)—to calculate an effective royalty
`
`rate (10 cents per Google app download and 48 cents per Google device sale); multiplies that rate
`
`by a royalty base (number of Google app downloads or Google device sales); and then adjusts the
`
`result upward, using a 4X multiplier that supposedly represents litigation risk. Mr. Weinstein’s
`
`reasonable royalty opinions are not legally sufficient evidence to support a damages verdict for
`
`multiple reasons: (1) his royalty base includes Google apps and devices1 that cannot infringe
`
`because they were not updated with the accused Smart Text Selection (“STS”) functionality in
`
`Android 8.0 or later operating systems; (2) he failed to properly apportion the settlement
`
`agreements used to obtain his royalty rates; and (3) his 4X multiplier is not supported by any
`
`legitimate basis. Arendi has waived any right to recover under alternative theories of infringement.
`
`Even if there is no waiver, the lack of substantial evidence can only support a finding of nominal
`
`damages.
`
`
`1 The “Accused Products” are the instrumentalities accused of infringement, including (1) the
`“Accused Apps,” which are Google Calendar, Chrome, Contacts, Docs, Gmail, Hangouts, Inbox,
`Keep, Messages, Sheets, Slides, and Tasks; and (2) the “Accused Devices,” which are Pixel 2,
`Pixel 2 XL, Pixel 3, Pixel 3 XL, and Pixel C.

`
`
`Case 1:13-cv-00919-JLH Document 541 Filed 05/04/23 Page 4 of 12 PageID #: 55567
`
`A.
`
`There is no legally sufficient evidence to support Arendi’s damages theory
`
`1.
`
`Arendi’s royalty base sweeps in apps and devices that cannot infringe
`
`The inclusion of non-infringing instrumentalities in infringement damages violates 35
`
`U.S.C. § 284. It also constitutes improper application of the hypothetical negotiation framework
`
`and apportionment principles because the assertion that the defendant would pay for noninfringing
`
`features “runs contrary to what common sense indicates a reasonable licensor would pay for the
`
`patents at issue.” Rembrandt Soc. Media, LP v. Facebook, Inc., 22 F. Supp. 3d 585, 595 (E.D. Va.
`
`2013).
`
`Arendi’s infringement theories are premised on accused STS functionality that first became
`
`available in late 2017 via the Android 8.0 update release.2 See 4/26/23 Trial Tr. (Smedley) at
`
`547:8–13 (confirming that “[i]f this code didn’t exist in Android 8, then the 12 apps would not
`
`infringe”); id. (Smedley) at 556:5–7 (“Android 7 doesn’t have the code for Smart Text Selection
`
`built into the framework”). So as Mr. Weinstein conceded, it was “very important that [he]
`
`accurately count only those apps that are actually installed on devices with Android 8 or 9,” and
`
`that “it would be a mistake to include” Google apps installed on an earlier version of Android.
`
`4/26/23 Trial Tr. (Weinstein) at 602:18–603:3.
`
`However, Mr. Weinstein failed to accurately limit his royalty base to the Google apps
`
`installed on, and Google devices sold with, Android 8 or 9. He relied on data representing all
`
`downloads of the Google apps and all sales of Google devices between late 2017 and patent
`
`expiration (November 10, 2018). See DTX-0581; 4/26/23 Trial Tr. (Weinstein) at 607:24–609:1,
`
`614:23–615:10. He simply “assumed” that they all had Android 8 or 9, even though they did not
`
`identify any Android version breakdown. 4/26/23 Trial Tr. (Weinstein) at 605:9–11, 608:16–20
`
`
`2 Google disputes the starting date of alleged infringement.
`
`3
`
`
`
`Case 1:13-cv-00919-JLH Document 541 Filed 05/04/23 Page 5 of 12 PageID #: 55568
`
`(agreeing that “the source that [he] used to calculate the number of apps that were downloaded did
`
`not identify which apps went to Android 6, Android 7, Android 8, or Android 9”). He did “nothing”
`
`to determine if his assumption was accurate. See, e.g., 4/26/23 Trial Tr. (Weinstein) at 610:18–
`
`610:22 (confirming he “did nothing to try to understand the conversion curve of how users were
`
`upgrading their products from Android 7 to Android 8”); id. at 612:17–613:7, 615:4–14, 633:13–
`
`634:2. Although he relied on Arendi’s infringement expert Dr. Smedley to form some of his
`
`opinions, Dr. Smedley did not do this critical analysis either. See 4/26/23 Trial Tr. (Smedley) at
`
`558:7–10 (agreeing he had not “analyzed how many of the accused applications were actually
`
`installed on phones with Android 8 or 9”).
`
`Indeed, there can be no genuine dispute that Mr. Weinstein’s assumption is incorrect. The
`
`roll-out of Android 8 (and STS) did not take place “right away” in late 2017 but, rather, slowly
`
`over time potentially years or even never for certain devices. 4/26/23 Trial Tr. (Elbouchikhi) at
`
`682:3–685:13; 4/27/23 Trial Tr. (Choc) at 791:18–792:3, 815:5–9 (roll-out could take years or
`
`even “never”); id. (Choc) at 814:18–21 (Weinstein’s numbers would be “massively” off); see also
`
`4/26/23 Trial Tr. (Toki) at 738:11–740:11. Mr. Weinstein tried to provide three excuses for his
`
`failure to apportion his royalty base. 4/26/23 Trial Tr. (Weinstein) at 634:10–635:1. None are
`
`availing.
`
`First, he claims that STS is the only accused functionality in the case, so it was reasonable
`
`for him to assume that the unit numbers were specific to that functionality. That is demonstrably
`
`false. When he prepared his expert report, there were other accused functionalities still in the case
`
`besides STS—namely Linkify, Smart Linkify, Content Detectors (“CD”), and Contextual Search
`
`Quick Actions (“QA”). Since these functionalities spanned all relevant Android versions, not just
`
`Android 8 and later, breaking down the royalty base by Android version did not matter at the time,
`
`4
`
`
`
`Case 1:13-cv-00919-JLH Document 541 Filed 05/04/23 Page 6 of 12 PageID #: 55569
`
`and Mr. Weinstein’s assumption might have been reasonable then. However, on March 31, 2022,
`
`the Court granted summary judgment of noninfringement as to Linkify and Smart Linkify, which
`
`meant that all non-Chrome Google apps installations with pre-Android 8 versions could no longer
`
`infringe. D.I. 393 at 13. Then on April 21, 2023—the eve of trial in a decade-long case—Arendi
`
`further dropped CD and QA, which meant all Chrome app installations with pre-Android 8
`
`versions of Android also could no longer infringe.3 See D.I. 479. But Arendi and its experts never
`
`tried to identify or request Google app installation or Google device sales data specific to Android
`
`versions 8 and 9. Mr. Weinstein cannot claim ignorance.
`
`Second, he claims that he simply relied on numbers that Google provided. Again, that is
`
`no excuse. He admitted that he understood the data to be for all units regardless of Android version
`
`yet did nothing to apportion for downloads based on pre-Android 8 versions. See 4/26/23 Trial Tr.
`
`(Weinstein) at 607:24–610:22, 615:4–14. It is Arendi’s burden to prove damages, not Google’s.
`
`Yet he did not know whether Arendi even asked Google for downloads based on Android operating
`
`system and recognized that Arendi could have done so. Id. at 665:12–667:5.
`
`Third, he claims that Google expert Mr. Kidder used the same numbers. 4/26/23 Trial Tr.
`
`(Weinstein) at 604:1–605:1, 609:15–19, 635:4–636:21. But that does not support Weinstein’s use,
`
`as Mr. Kidder was merely rebutting the theories that Mr. Weinstein put forward, and in the course
`
`of that rebuttal, used Mr. Weinstein’s numbers.
`
`Mr. Weinstein’s over-counting results in a reasonable royalty that he concedes is “too
`
`high.” 4/26/23 Trial Tr. (Weinstein) at 611:8–12. But, because he failed to analyze the issue, there
`
`is no evidence about how “overinflated” his calculations are. Id. at 611:18–612:10, 615:11–14.
`
`Arendi’s damages theory falls well short of satisfying apportionment principles, and it fails as a
`
`
`3 The Linkify, Smart Linkify, CD, and QA accused functionalities all dropped out of the case
`after the deadline for Daubert motions.

`
`
`
`Case 1:13-cv-00919-JLH Document 541 Filed 05/04/23 Page 7 of 12 PageID #: 55570
`
`matter of law. The flaw in his royalty base is not “merely a dispute of a fact”; it means that “the
`
`entirety of [Mr. Weinstein’s] damages analysis is unreliable,” Rembrandt, 22 F. Supp. 3d at 595–
`
`96, and “legally insufficient,” Niazi Licensing Corp. v. St. Jude Med. S.C., Inc., 30 F.4th 1339,
`
`1357 (Fed. Cir. 2022) (failure to apportion between infringing and noninfringing uses renders
`
`opinion “legally insufficient”).
`
`2.
`
`Mr. Weinstein fails to properly account for differences between the
`purportedly comparable settlement agreements and the hypothetical
`negotiation, resulting in an unapportioned royalty rate
`
` To calculate his effective royalty rates per app and device, Mr. Weinstein used the entire
`
`licensing payments contemplated in the four Settlement Agreements, divided them by the number
`
`of covered units in each agreement, and then averaged the resulting royalty rates. See 4/26/23 Trial
`
`Tr. (Weinstein) at 588:9–595:18; id. at 622:19–21 (confirming he used the full settlement amount
`
`for each agreement to find his royalty rate). To rely on those licenses as comparable and ensure
`
`that the royalty rate is “sufficiently tied to the facts of the case,” Apple Inc. v. Wi-LAN Inc., 25
`
`F.4th 960, 971 (Fed. Cir. 2022), Weinstein was required to account for differences from the
`
`hypothetical negotiation. In particular, he had to ensure that his effective royalty rate is tied to the
`
`value of the patented features by apportioning, or by demonstrating that the licenses contained
`
`“built-in” apportionment or were “sufficiently comparable such that further apportionment is not
`
`required.” NNCrystal US Corp. v. Nanosys, Inc., 2023 WL 2891453, at *2 (D. Del. Apr. 11, 2023);
`
`accord Ericsson, Inc. v. D-Link Sys., Inc., 773 F.3d 1201, 1226 (Fed. Cir. 2014). He failed to
`
`properly apportion his royalty rate for several reasons:
`
`(i) Portfolio licenses: The Settlement Agreements are all portfolio licenses covering
`
`multiple patents under materially different circumstances than the hypothetical negotiation, yet
`
`Mr. Weinstein admitted that he did not try to adjust for the different circumstances, much less
`
`apportion for the value of the ’843 Patent. 4/26/23 Trial Tr. (Weinstein) at 622:19–623:5
`
`6
`
`
`
`Case 1:13-cv-00919-JLH Document 541 Filed 05/04/23 Page 8 of 12 PageID #: 55571
`
`(conceding he “didn’t try to adjust the settlement amount downward at all to account for the fact
`
`that those agreements related to a whole patent portfolio, and the agreement with Google would
`
`only be a single patent”). Nor did he demonstrate that the ’843 Patent somehow accounted for the
`
`entire license amounts in those agreements despite their coverage of entire portfolios. Mr.
`
`Weinstein merely relied on the beliefs of Mr. Hedloy, who would directly benefit from a larger
`
`verdict in this case, about the supposed value of the ’843 Patent in the licenses. Id. at 577:25–
`
`578:5. That is entirely conclusory and legally insufficient basis, especially as Mr. Hedloy testified
`
`that he did not know which of the licensed patents was most valuable as to Samsung and Microsoft.
`
`4/24/23 Trial Tr. (Hedloy) at 234:5–15, 243:13–20. Indeed, the Federal Circuit has vacated
`
`damages awards based on failure to exclude the value of unasserted patents in portfolio licenses
`
`where the expert has tried but failed adequately to account for those differences; here, Mr.
`
`Weinstein did not even attempt to apportion for the value of the ’843 Patent. See Apple Inc., 25
`
`F.4th at 972–74; MLC Intell. Prop., LLC v. Micron Tech., Inc., 10 F.4th 1358, 1375 (Fed. Cir.
`
`2021) (discussing the need to apportion licenses); NNCrystal, 2023 WL 2891453, at *4 (damages
`
`theory “improper” for failure to apportion, where expert failed to analyze license’s “broader set of
`
`rights than what would be present in a hypothetical negotiation between the parties”).
`
`(ii) License duration: Mr. Weinstein admitted on cross-examination that he failed to
`
`properly account for Georgia-Pacific factor 7, which is license duration. 4/26/23 Trial Tr.
`
`(Weinstein) at 632:2–23. He admitted that the parties would have a different expectation for a one-
`
`year license resulting from a hypothetical negotiation than the longer license provided in the
`
`Settlement Agreements, yet he did not make any adjustments to his reasonable royalty for that
`
`consideration. Therefore, he also failed to account for this factor.
`
`7
`
`
`
`Case 1:13-cv-00919-JLH Document 541 Filed 05/04/23 Page 9 of 12 PageID #: 55572
`
`(iii) Specific considerations for each Settlement Agreement: Mr. Weinstein’s inclusion of
`
`the agreements without accounting in any other way for individualized differences further renders
`
`his opinions insufficient to support any damages award and not properly apportioned. For example,
`
`he gave all of the agreements equal weight in calculating an average effective royalty,
`
`
`
`
`
`example, he failed to account for the fact that the
`
` As another
`
`
`
`
`
`PX0066 at 1; PX0075 at 1; PX0078 at 2. And in the Microsoft Agreement, he declined to break
`
`down Microsoft Office into 3 units (Word, Excel, Powerpoint). That methodology is inconsistent
`
`with how he counted Google apps (e.g., Docs and Sheets separately), and he admitted it inflated
`
`his royalty rate. See 4/26/23 Trial Tr. (Weinstein) at 629:17–20. He did not provide any explanation
`
`for his failure to account for individualized differences with each Settlement Agreement compared
`
`to the hypothetical negotiation.
`
`3.
`
`Mr. Weinstein’s 4X multiplier lack any legitimate basis
`
`Mr. Weinstein then further increased his damages calculation by applying a 4X multiplier,
`
`based on Mr. Hedloy’s supposed assignment of litigation risk to the Settlement Agreements. This
`
`multiplier lacked any valid basis. Mr. Weinstein’s 4X multiplier survived a Daubert challenge
`
`because the Court found that he “ha[d] sufficiently accounted for the facts specific to each of the
`
`settlement agreements he considered in his royalty rate opinions and adjusted the rates
`
`accordingly.” D.I. 389 (3/31/22 Mem. Op.) at 12. However, at trial Mr. Weinstein failed to offer
`
`“facts specific” to each of the agreements, but rather applied the same 4X multiplier in conclusory
`
`fashion, based on conversations with Mr. Hedloy, an interested party. Mr. Hedloy allegedly told
`
`Mr. Weinstein that Arendi had a 50/50 chance of prevailing at three different points in each of the
`
`8
`
`
`
`Case 1:13-cv-00919-JLH Document 541 Filed 05/04/23 Page 10 of 12 PageID #: 55573
`
`settled litigations. 4/26/23 Trial Tr. (Weinstein) at 592:22–595:5. But Mr. Hedloy is neither an
`
`attorney nor an economist and has no basis to quantify patent litigation risk. Indeed, Mr. Hedloy
`
`“never testified that the undiscounted value of the agreements was actually four times more.” Id.
`
`at 631:23–632:1. Yet Mr. Weinstein assumed, without more, that Mr. Hedloy’s testimony justifies
`
`a 4X multiplier, which leaves an evidentiary gap for the litigation risk calculation, the “province
`
`of expert analysis.” AVM Techs., LLC v. Intel Corp., 927 F. Supp. 2d 139, 146 (D. Del. 2013). Mr.
`
`Weinstein cannot “merely ‘parrot[]’ the opinion” of Mr. Hedloy converted into a multiplier “as
`
`though it were fact.” Amgen Inc. v. Sanofi, 2019 WL 11071409, at *3 (D. Del. Feb. 14, 2019).
`
`Mr. Weinstein’s damages analysis therefore fails to provide legally sufficient evidence of
`
`the incremental value of the ’843 Patent or substantial evidence for a reasonable jury to calculate
`
`damages. The Court should hold that the 4X multiplier is improper as a matter of law.
`
`B.
`
`Arendi has waived any valid theory of recovery by single-mindedly pursuing
`its unsupportable damages theory
`
`No reasonable jury applying the law could find that Arendi’s damages theory supports a
`
`properly apportioned reasonable royalty. Therefore, Arendi has not presented legally sufficient
`
`evidence to establish damages as a matter of law.
`
`Arendi waited until the eve of trial to drop its allegations of infringement against other
`
`products, at which point Google met-and-conferred with Arendi and filed a motion with the Court
`
`raising the most glaring of the legal deficiencies with Mr. Weinstein’s damages framework based
`
`on the dramatically altered accused product lineup. See D.I. 479 (Google letter motion).
`
`Undeterred, Arendi chose to ignore these deficiencies and forge ahead to trial. In view of its
`
`deliberate decision to single-mindedly rely on an improper reasonable royalty theory, Arendi has
`
`abandoned and waived any alternative theories. See Promega Corp. v. Life Techs. Corp., 875 F.3d
`
`9
`
`
`
`Case 1:13-cv-00919-JLH Document 541 Filed 05/04/23 Page 11 of 12 PageID #: 55574
`
`651, 666 (Fed. Cir. 2017) (waiver of damages when patentee “deliberately abandons valid theories
`
`of recovery in a singular pursuit of an ultimately invalid damages theory”).
`
`In the alternative, Arendi’s evidence at most supports awarding nominal damages for any
`
`liability by Google—an outcome that would satisfy 35 U.S.C. § 284 and be commensurate with
`
`Arendi’s failure to carry its burden of proving a reasonable royalty amount. See AOS Holding Co.,
`
`2021 WL 5411103, at *38; Info-Hold, Inc., 783 F.3d at 1371–72 (“Where the patentee’s proof is
`
`weak, the court may award nominal damages.”).
`
`III. CONCLUSION
`
`For these reasons, the Court should grant judgment of no damages or, in the alternative,
`
`nominal damages as a matter of law or no 4X multiplier for Arendi’s calculation.
