`6,941,156, 6,696,941, 7,039,435, 6,963,129, 6,858,930, 8,396,072, and 8,792,432 under 35
`
`U.S.C. § 271(a) by selling, offering to sell, making, using, and/or importing the Accused
`
`Instrumentalities, as shown in Exhibits A–1 through M-1.
`
`Except where it is indicated otherwise, BNR further contends that a finding of indirect
`
`infringement is warranted under 35 U.S.C. §§ 271(b) and/or (c), in conjunction with other
`
`evidence of liability under one or more of those subsections. Defendant makes, uses, sells,
`
`imports, or offers for sale in the United States, or has made, used, sold, imported, or offered for
`
`sale in the past, without authority, or induces others to make, use, sell, import, or offer for sale
`
`in the United States, or has induced others to make, use, sell, import, or offer for sale in the
`
`past, without authority, products, equipment, or services that infringe the Asserted Claims of
`
`U.S. Patent Nos. 8,204,554, 7,319,889, RE 48,629, 8,416,862, 7,564,914, 7,957,450, 6,941,156,
`
`6,696,941, 7,039,435, 6,963,129, 6,858,930, 8,396,072, and 8,792,432, including without
`
`limitation, the Accused Instrumentalities.
`
`Pursuant to P.R. 3-6, BNR expressly reserves the right to amend and supplement its
`
`disclosure regarding direct and indirect infringement after further discovery from the Defendant
`
`and/or pending this Court’s claim construction Order.

`
`
`
`V.
`
`BNR’s P.R. 3-1(e) Disclosures: Literal Infringement and Infringement Under
`Doctrine of Equivalents
`
`Subject to ongoing discovery and investigation, and based on available information
`
`obtained to date, BNR hereby contends that, except where it is indicated otherwise, each
`
`element of each asserted claim is literally present in each of the Accused Instrumentalities as
`
`specifically shown in Exhibits A–1 through M-1.
`
`To the extent that certain elements of the asserted claims are not literally present in
`
`each of the Accused Instrumentalities, at this time, BNR contends that such elements of the
`
`asserted claims are met by the Accused Instrumentalities under the Doctrine of Equivalents:
`
`As indicated above, discovery is necessary to further develop BNR’s infringement
`
`positions—either literal or under the Doctrine of Equivalents, and the Court has yet to issue a
`
`claim construction order. Pursuant to P.R. 3-6, BNR expressly reserves the right to amend
`
`and supplement its position on whether there is infringement under the Doctrine of
`
`Equivalents of any other elements of any asserted claims after further discovery from the
`
`Defendant and/or pending this Court’s claim construction Order.
`
`VI.
`
`BNR’s P.R. 3-1(e) Disclosures: Priority Dates
`
`
`
`BNR contends that the asserted claims of the Patents are at least entitled to the priority
`
`dates as described in the table below:

`
`VII. BNR’s P.R. 3-1(g) Disclosures: Right to Rely on BNR’s Own Instrumentality
`
`BNR presently does not intend to rely upon the assertion that its own
`
`instrumentalities practice the claimed inventions.
`
`VIII. BNR’s P.R. 3-1(h) Disclosures: Willful Infringement
`
`Subject to ongoing discovery and investigation, and based on available information
`
`obtained to date, BNR hereby contends that, Defendant has engaged in such actions with specific
`
`intent to cause infringement or with willful blindness to the resulting infringement because
`
`Defendant has had actual knowledge of the Patents-in-Suit and knowledge that its acts were
`
`inducing infringement of the Patents-in-Suit since at least the date when Defendant received
`
`notice that such activities infringed the Patents-in-Suit, from such time as detailed in Plaintiff’s
`
`Complaint (ECF No. 1).
