`
`Schedule B2: Activision’s Statement Of Disputed Facts
`Acceleration Bay LLC v. Activision Blizzard, Inc. (Civ. A. No. 16-453-RGA)
`
` Activision respectfully submits the following Statement Of Disputed Facts based on its
`
`current understanding of Acceleration Bay’s positions. Should the Court determine that any issue
`
`identified herein is more appropriately considered an issue of law, Activision incorporates such
`
`issues by reference in its Statement Of Issues Of Law That Remain To Be Litigated (Schedule C2).

`Likewise, to the extent that Activision’s Statements Of Issues Of Law That Remain To Be
`
`Litigated contains issues that the Court deems to be issues of fact, those issues are incorporated
`
`herein by reference.
`
`
`
`Further, if Acceleration Bay attempts to present any doctrine of equivalents arguments,
`

`
`Schedule C2: Activision’s Statement Of Issues Of Law That Remain To Be Litigated
`Acceleration Bay LLC v. Activision Blizzard, Inc. (Civ. A. No. 16-453-RGA)
`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`Defendant Activision Blizzard, Inc. (“Activision”) denies that the asserted claims of U.S.
`
`Patent Nos. 6,701,344 (“the ’344 patent), 6,714,966 (“the ’966 patent), 6,829,634 (“the ’634
`
`patent), 6,910,069 (“the ’069 patent”), 6,732,147 (“the ’147 patent”), and 6,920,497 (“the ’497
`
`patent”) (collectively, the “Asserted Patents”) are infringed.
`
`In addition, Activision asserts that the asserted claims of the Asserted Patents are invalid
`
`for various reasons. The asserted claims of the Asserted Patents are invalid as obvious and for
`
`lack of written description. Activision also asserts that the asserted claims of the ’147 patent are
`
`invalid for lack of enablement. Activision asserts that the asserted claims of the ’344, ’966, ’634,
`
`and ’497 patents are invalid for indefiniteness. Indeed, claims 19 and 22 of the ’634 patent have
`
`already been found indefinite and judgment to that those claims are invalid should be entered.
`
`Activision further contends that to the extent that any asserted claim is alleged to encompass pure
`
`software, such a claim is invalid under 35 U.S.C. § 101 for failing to fall within a statutory category
`
`of patent-eligible subject matter. Activision further alleges that claims 11, and 15-16 of the ’147
`
`patent and claims 19 and 22 of the ’634 patent are invalid under 35 U.S.C. § 101 because they
`
`encompass transitory signals and thus extend beyond the statutory classes of patent-eligible subject
`
`matter. Activision further alleges that the asserted claims of the Asserted Patents are unpatentable
`
`under 35 U.S.C. § 101 for claiming unpatentable subject matter.
`
`Activision also seeks its costs pursuant to Rule 54(d) of the Federal Rules of Civil
`
`Procedure, and its attorneys’ fees, including under 35 U.S.C. § 285, the Court’s inherent powers
`
`and other applicable authority.

`

`
`
`
`Activision’s Statements of Issues of Law Of Law That Remain To Be Litigated is based
`
`on the arguments it expects to make to establish invalidity of the asserted claims, as well as its
`
`understanding of the arguments that Acceleration Bay is likely to make in attempting to prove
`
`infringement, conception and reduction to practice, and damages. To the extent that Acceleration
`
`Bay intends or attempts to introduce different or additional legal arguments, Activision reserves
`
`the right to supplement this statement and contest those legal arguments, and to present any and
`
`all rebuttal evidence in response to those arguments. By providing this statement, Activision does
`
`not concede that all of the recited issues are appropriate for trial. In particular, Activision does not
`
`waive any of its motions in limine, Daubert motions, or motions for summary judgment, which, if
`
`granted, would render some or all of these issues moot.
`
`
`
`Further, if Acceleration Bay attempts to present any doctrine of equivalents arguments,
`
`then Activision will challenge whether Acceleration Bay has a right to do so because Plaintiff
`
`never properly presented its doctrine of equivalents positions.
