`
`GOOGLE LLC AND YOUTUBE, LLC'S
`SUPPLEMENTAL INVALIDITY CONTENTIONS
`
`In accordance with Paragraph 6 of the Joint Proposed Case Management Plan (D.I. 137-
`
`1) and Local Patent Rule 7, Defendants Google LLC and YouTube, LLC (collectively,
`
`"Defendants") provide the following Supplemental Invalidity Contentions to Plaintiff Network-1
`
`Technologies, Inc. ("Network-1"). The exclusion of any prior art reference, software, or system
`
`from this disclosure does not constitute an admission that such reference does not anticipate
`
`and/or render obvious one or more claims of the asserted patents. Additionally, to the extent that
`
`prior art software or systems embody or are related to the printed patents or publications recited
`
`in this disclosure, Defendants reserve the right to assert the individual printed patents or
`
`publications listed in this pleading, as well as any related prior art software or systems.
`
`Defendants reserve the right to supplement or amend this disclosure at any time, including but
`
`not limited to the right to supplement or amend this disclosure in response to further discovery,
`
`further analysis, further prior art searching, the assertion of additional claims by Network-1,
`
`Network-1's litigation positions, Network-1's proposed claim constructions, or the Court's claim
`
`construction ruling.

`U.S. Patent No. 8,010,988
`
`All asserted claims of U.S. Patent No. 8,010,988 are invalid under at least:
`
` 35 U.S.C. § 101 (Unpatentable Subject Matter), because the asserted claims are
`directed to unpatentable abstract concepts, and the mere recitation of computer
`elements is insufficient to render the subject matter patentable.
`
` 35 U.S.C. §§ 102 and 103 (Anticipation and Obviousness), because at least the
`following references, software, systems, and combinations thereof, disclose all
`elements of the asserted claims:
