`
`1) Activision does not infringe claims 12, 13, 14, and 15 of the ‘344 Patent and claims 12

`and 13 of the ‘966 Patent because Activision does not make, use, or sell the accused Call
`
`of Duty and Destiny Networks.
`
`2) Activision does not infringe claims 9 and 16 of the ’497 Patent because, for the accused
`
`Call of Duty and Destiny games, it does not make, use or sell the accused hardware
`
`component.
`
`3) Activision does not directly infringe method claim 1 of the ’147 Patent and method
`
`claims 1 and 11 of the ’069 Patent because, for the accused Call of Duty and Destiny

`
`
`
`4) Activision does not infringe any of the asserted patents because, for the accused Call of

`Duty and Destiny games, Plaintiff has no evidence that Activision has infringed any
`
`asserted patent through testing.
`
`5) Activision does not infringe any asserted claim of the ’344, ’966, ’634, ’147, and ’069
`
`Patents because the accused networks are not m-regular and non-complete, they are not
`
`broadcast channels, and they do not meet the broadcast/rebroadcast requirements of these
`
`asserted patents.
`
`6) Activision’s Call of Duty and Destiny games do not infringe the asserted claims of the
`
`’069 and ’634 Patents, and the World of Warcraft game does not infringe the ’634 Patent.
`
`7) Activision’s Call of Duty and Destiny games do not infringe the asserted claims of the

`’147 Patent.
`
`8) Activision’s Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, and Destiny games do not infringe the

`
`9) Activision’s Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, and Destiny games do not infringe any of
`
`the asserted patents under the doctrine of equivalents.
`
`10) Any accused acts outside the United States do not infringe any of the asserted patents.
`
`11) Activision did not willfully infringe the asserted claims of the ’344, ’966, ’634, ’497,
`
`’147, and ’069 Patents.
`
`12) The asserted claims of the’634 Patent are indefinte and therefore invalid.
`
`13) The asserted claims of the ’344, ’966, ’634, ’147, and ’069 Patents are invalid for lack of
`
`written description.
`
`14) The asserted claims of the ’344, ’966 and ’497 Patents are invalid as covering non-
`
`statutory subject matter under 35 U.S.C. § 101 because they cover pure software.
