`
`Plaintiff Ameranth, Inc. (“Ameranth”) hereby serves its Disclosure of
`
`Asserted Claims and Infringement Contentions under Patent Local Rule 3.1, as

`Discovery in this case is ongoing and the Court has not yet construed the
`
`asserted claims of the Patents-in-Suit. Further, StubHub (and other defendants)
`
`has failed to produce any documents requested by Ameranth and has failed to
`
`provide any substantive responses to Ameranth’s other written discovery
`
`requests. Pursuant to the Court’s June 7, 2013 order on Ameranth’s ex parte
`
`request for a joint discovery conference (Doc. 388), Ameranth will be initiating
`
`meet and confer with the Defendants, including StubHub.
`
`Accordingly, Ameranth reserves the right to serve Amended Infringement
`
`Contentions under Patent Local Rule 3.6(a), by Court order, or as otherwise
`
`permitted. Under Patent Local Rule 3.2, Ameranth has made a document
`
`production and hereby separately identifies by bates numbers which documents
`
`correspond to categories (a) – (e) of Patent Local Rule 3.2 in Exhibit B attached
`
`hereto.
`
`A. Claims Infringed.
`
`StubHub infringes at least claims 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and
`
`16 of U.S. Patent No. 6,384,850 (the “ ‘850 patent”); claims 9 and 13 of U.S.
`
`Patent No. 6,871,325 (the “ ‘325 patent”); and claims 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12,
`
`13, 15, 16, 17 and 18 of U.S. Patent No. 8,146,077 (the “ ‘077 patent”).
`
`B. Accused Instrumentality.
`
`The “StubHub Ticketing System”, “Accused Instrumentality” or
`
`“Accused System,” as used herein, means and includes the following: The
`
`current and all previous “versions” (from Jan. 1, 2007 to present, and regardless
`
`of whether alleged by defendant to be revisions, different versions, or different
`
`systems) of the StubHub ticketing system/product/service, which includes, inter

`
`C. Claim Charts.
`
`Charts for each of the ‘850, ‘325 and ‘077 patents that identify
`
`specifically where each limitation of each asserted claim within the Accused
`
`Instrumentality are attached hereto as Exhibit A. The left column of each chart
`
`recites the limitations of the asserted claims verbatim for the applicable patent.
`
`The right column shows where a corresponding element is found in the Accused
`
`Instrumentality. These identifications are based on Ameranth’s present
`
`understanding of information currently available to Ameranth. At present,
`
`Ameranth has yet to receive any document or source code production from
`
`StubHub. Ameranth reserves the right to supplement these charts as discovery
`
`proceeds.
`
`D. Indirect Infringement.
`
`Ameranth has noted in the claim charts attached as Exhibit A the claims
`
`that Ameranth contends StubHub has directly and indirectly infringed. As set
`
`forth in the claim charts, in addition to direct infringement, StubHub is liable for
`
`inducement of infringement and contributory infringement.

`

`
`
`E. Literal Infringement and Doctrine of Equivalents.
`
`Ameranth presently contends that the StubHub Ticketing System
`
`infringes the asserted claims of the ‘850, ‘325, and ‘077 patents literally.
`
`Ameranth has noted in the claim charts attached as Exhibit A the claim elements
`
`that Ameranth contends are literally infringed and/or present under the doctrine
`
`of equivalents.
`
`F. Priority.
`
`The ‘325 patent claims priority to an earlier application, U.S. Serial No.
`
`09/400,413, which was filed on September 21, 1999 and from which the ‘850
`
`patent issued. The ‘077 patent also claims priority to U.S. Serial No. 09/400,413
`
`filed on September 21, 1999. Ameranth asserts a conception date for the
`
`asserted claims of September 1998 and reduction to practice prior to the priority
`
`application filing date.
`
`G. Products Practicing Invention.
`
`Versions of the following Ameranth products have incorporated or
`
`reflected the inventions claimed in the Patents-in-Suit in one or more of the

`
`H. Willful Infringement.
`
`Ameranth is informed and believes that StubHub became aware of
`
`Ameranth’s patents prior to the filing of this lawsuit due to the widespread
`
`knowledge of Ameranth’s patents in the online ordering and reservations
`
`industry/marketplace. StubHub continues to infringe valid and enforceable
`
`claims of the ‘850, ‘325 and ‘077 patents with knowledge and willful disregard
`
`of Ameranth’s patent rights after being put on notice of such infringement at
`
`least as early as the filing of the lawsuit and/or service of the complaint on
`
`StubHub.
