`
`PLAINTIFFS’ INITIAL INFRINGEMENT CONTENTIONS
`
`Pursuant to the Court’s Scheduling Order (D.I. 72) and Paragraph 4(c) of the Court’s
`
`Default Standard for Discovery, Including Discovery of Electronically Stored Information,
`
`Plaintiffs Arbutus Biopharma Corporation (“Arbutus”) and Genevant Sciences GmbH
`
`(“Genevant”) disclose their initial infringement contentions regarding U.S. Patent Nos. 8,058,069
`
`(“the ’069 patent”); 8,492,359 (“the ’359 patent”); 8,822,668 (“the ’668 patent”); 9,364,435 (“the
`
`’435 patent”); 9,504,651 (“the ’651 patent”); and 11,141,378 (“the ’378 patent”) to Defendants
`
`Moderna, Inc. and ModernaTX, Inc. (collectively, “Moderna”).
`
`Plaintiffs’ initial infringement contentions are based on the information currently available
`
`to, and known by, Plaintiffs. Fact discovery is ongoing, and Plaintiffs have not yet obtained any
`
`deposition testimony from Moderna. The Court has not yet construed any of the asserted claims
`
`of the patents-in-suit. The Court has set a schedule pursuant to which the parties will identify
`
`terms for construction, provide proposed constructions, cite evidence supportive of those
`
`constructions, confer to narrow the disputes before the Court, and then submit, through briefing
`
`and oral presentations, their arguments to the Court. The Court will then construe the disputed

`
`their infringement contentions as the pre-trial phase of the litigation proceeds and as additional
`
`information comes to light. Plaintiffs specifically reserve the right to supplement these
`
`infringement contentions in view of future production of documents, the Court’s issuance of a
`
`claim construction order, and expert opinions and testimony.
`
`These appended claim charts are provided without prejudice to Plaintiffs’ right to introduce
`
`expert opinions and demonstratives as expert discovery progresses, and to produce and introduce
`
`at trial all evidence, whenever discovered, relating to the proof of currently known and
`
`subsequently discovered facts. In addition, the division of each claim into individual limitations
`
`below is for convenience only and is without prejudice to Plaintiffs’ right to argue for a different
