`
`INITIAL INFRINGEMENT CONTENTIONS AND DOCUMENT PRODUCTION
`ACCOMPANYING INITIAL INFRINGEMENT CONTENTIONS
`
`Plaintiff B.E. Technology, L.L.C. (“Plaintiff” or “B.E.”) hereby submits to Defendant
`
`Microsoft Corporation (“Defendant” or “Microsoft”) its Initial Infringement Contentions and
`
`Document Production Accompanying Initial Infringement Contentions pursuant to Local Patent
`
`Rules 3.1 and 3.2.
`
`Plaintiff makes these contentions based upon information reasonably available to it as of
`
`this date. Plaintiff has not completed its preparation of this matter for trial and discovery has not
`
`yet begun. Because Plaintiff’s investigations are ongoing and discovery is not yet complete,
`
`Plaintiff reserves the right to amend, modify, supplement, or narrow any portion of its asserted
`
`claims and infringement contentions, including, but not limited to, the identification of the claims
`
`infringed by Defendant and of the products and/or services accused of infringement. In
`
`particular, B.E. reserves the right to supplement its contentions as necessary and in accordance
`
`with this Court’s Local Rules in light of Defendant’s future document production, interrogatory
`
`answers, admissions, disclosures, fact witness testimony expert witness evidence, additional
`
`discovery, future rulings from the Court, any amendments to the pleadings, any additional items
`
`Petitioner Microsoft Corporation - Ex. 1012, p. 1
`
`
`
`of evidence, and/or for any other reason authorized by statute, rule, or applicable case law. B.E.
`
`similarly reserves the right to supplement its Initial Infringement Contentions to assert
`
`infringement of claims currently not addressed. B.E. further reserves the right to supplement its
`
`Initial Infringement Contentions and the associated infringement claim charts after Defendant
`
`identifies which claim elements it contends are not present in Defendant’s products and/or
`
`services, and the bases for any such contentions.
`
`I.
`
`L.P.R 3.1: INITIAL INFRINGEMENT CONTENTIONS.
`
`A.
`
`Identification Of Asserted Claims.
`
`Based on the information presently known and reasonably available to Plaintiff, Plaintiff
`
`identifies Claims 11, 12, 13, 15, 18, and 20 of U.S. Pat. No. 6,628,314 (“the ’314 patent”); and
`
`Claims 2-3 of U.S. Pat. No. 6,771,290 (“the ’290 Patent”) to be the Asserted Claims. These
`
`contentions of Asserted Claims are, at this stage in the proceedings, necessarily limited in the
`
`sense that Plaintiff has had limited access to information concerning the structure and function of
`
`Defendant’s products and/or services. Plaintiff therefore reserves the right to supplement these
`
`contentions as it obtains additional information concerning Defendant’s products and/or services
`
`over the course of discovery.
`
`The applicable statutory subsections of 35 U.S.C. § 271 for each of the Asserted Claims
`
`are as follows:
`
`Claims 11, 12, 13, 15, 18, and 20 of the ’314 Patent: 35 U.S.C. §§ 271(a).
`Claims 2-3 of the ’290 Patent: 35 U.S.C. §§ 271(a).
`
`Plaintiff reserves the right to amend, modify, supplement, or narrow these contentions
`
`pursuant to Local Patent Rule 3.11 as discovery in this case proceeds.

`Petitioner Microsoft Corporation - Ex. 1012, p. 2
`
`
`
`B.
`
`Identification Of Accused Instrumentalities.
`
`Based on the information presently known to B.E., without the benefit of complete
`
`discovery from Defendant, B.E. presently accuses at least (but not limited to) the following of
`
`Defendant’s products and/or services of infringing the Asserted Claims of the ’314 Patent: Bing
`
`Ads, Microsoft Advertising, Windows Ads in App, any other products and/or services identified
`
`in the attached Appendix A, and all reasonably similar products and/or services (“Accused
`
`Instrumentalities”).
`
`Based on the information presently known to B.E., without the benefit of complete
`
`discovery from Defendant, B.E. presently accuses at least (but not limited to) the following of
`
`Defendant’s products and/or services of infringing the Asserted Claims of the ’290 Patent:
`
`Microsoft Surface, Microsoft Xbox 360, any other products and/or services identified in the
`
`attached Appendix B, and all reasonably similar products and/or services (“Accused
`
`Instrumentalities”). In addition, B.E. presently accuses all of Defendant’s products and/or
`
`services with the following programs, features, software, firmware, or applications of infringing
`
`the Asserted Claims of the ’290 patent: Xbox Live, Xbox Music, Apps Marketplace, Windows
`
`Store, Xbox Video, and Xbox Games (also, “Accused Instrumentalities”).
`
`Based on the information presently known to B.E., B.E. contends that the Asserted
`
`Claims of the ’314 Patent and ’290 Patent are infringed by the Accused Instrumentalities. B.E.
`
`believes that discovery will reveal additional Accused Instrumentalities, products, and/or services
`
`that infringe the ’314 Patent and ’290 Patent, and B.E. explicitly reserves the right to amend,
`
`modify, supplement, or narrow its contentions to identify additional Accused Instrumentalities,
`
`products, and/or services pursuant to Local Patent Rule 3.11.

`Petitioner Microsoft Corporation - Ex. 1012, p. 3
`
`
`
`C.
`
`Claim Chart Identifying Claim Elements Present In Accused
`Instrumentalities.
`
`Based on the information presently known to B.E., without the benefit of complete
`
`discovery from Defendant, B.E. provides the attached Appendix A (which explains how the
`
`Accused Instrumentalities and other products/services infringe each of the Asserted Claims of
`
`the ’314 Patent) and Appendix B (which explains how the Accused Instrumentalities and other
`
`products/services infringe each of the Asserted Claims of the ’290 Patent). B.E.’s attached
`
`Appendices are incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein. The infringement
`
`contention charts appended hereto are exemplary and not limiting, and address the Asserted
`
`Claims without the benefit of full discovery. Any citations included in the infringement
`
`contention charts are exemplary only, and should not be construed to be limiting.
`
`In the attached Appendices containing B.E.’s infringement contention charts, B.E. has
`
`subdivided each Asserted Claim to better explain where each claim element may be found with
`
`the respective Accused Instrumentalities and other products/services. The subdivisions in the
`
`appended infringement contention charts should not be taken as an indication of the boundaries
`
`of claim elements with respect to doctrine of equivalents, or any other issue. Additionally, the
`
`Accused Instrumentalities and Defendant’s other products/services may infringe the Asserted
`
`Claims in multiple ways. B.E. reserves the right to provide an alternative claim mapping or
`
`infringement contention.
`
`B.E. reserves the right to amend, modify, supplement, or narrow these contentions
`
`pursuant to Local Patent Rule 3.11 as discovery in this case proceeds.
`
`D.
`
`Identification Of Direct Infringement Underlying Allegations Of Indirect
`Infringement.
`
`B.E. contends that the Asserted Claims of the ’314 Patent and ’290 Patent are directly
`
`infringed by Defendant. Defendant, without B.E.’s authority, directly infringes the Asserted
`
`- 4 -
`
`Petitioner Microsoft Corporation - Ex. 1012, p. 4
`
`
`
`Claims of the ’314 Patent and ’290 Patent under 35 U.S.C. § 271(a) by making, using, offering to
`
`sell, or sell its Accused Instrumentalities and other products/services within the United States, or
`
`imports into the United States its Accused Instrumentalities and other products/services.
`
`B.E. reserves the right to amend, modify, supplement, or narrow these contentions
`
`pursuant to Local Patent Rule 3.11 as discovery in this case proceeds.
`
`E.
`
`Identification Of Elements Present Literally And Present Under The
`Doctrine Of Equivalents.
`
`Based on the information presently available to B.E., B.E. contends that each Asserted
`
`Claim is literally met in the Accused Instrumentalities and/or other Defendant products/services.
`
`At present, B.E. knows of no elements of the Asserted Claims where the doctrine of equivalents
`
`would change the infringement analysis set forth in the attached infringement claim charts.
`
`Without the benefit of the Court’s claim construction, B.E. presently believes that Defendant’s
`
`Accused Instrumentalities and other products/services literally infringe the Asserted Claims of
`
`the ’314 Patent and ’290 Patent.
`
`Regardless, B.E. also contends that each Asserted Claim is met in the Accused
`
`Instrumentalities and/or other Defendant products/services under the doctrine of equivalents.
`
`Specifically, to the extent a claim element is not met literally, it is met under the doctrine of
`
`equivalents because they perform substantially the same function, in substantially the same way,
`
`to achieve substantially the same result. To the extent that any differences are alleged to exist
`
`between the Asserted Claims and Defendant’s Accused Instrumentalities, products and/or
`
`services, such differences are insubstantial.
`
`Information regarding the formulations of the Accused Instrumentalities and Defendant’s
`
`products/services, and the processing conditions used to manufacture the Accused
`
`Instrumentalities and Defendant’s products/services, is either confidential or is not publically
`
`- 5 -
`
`Petitioner Microsoft Corporation - Ex. 1012, p. 5
`
`
`
`available. Following discovery regarding Defendant’s products/services, Accused
`
`Instrumentalities, and technical information relating to the Accused Instrumentalities and
`
`Defendant’s products/services, B.E. reserves the right to amend, modify, supplement, or narrow
`
`these contentions pursuant to Local Patent Rule 3.11 as discovery in this case proceeds.
`
`Moreover, because discovery has not yet commenced, B.E. reserves the right to further apply the
`
`doctrine of equivalents to each and every Asserted Claim element after full discovery from
`
`Defendant, or as appropriate in response to the Court’s legal determination of issues, including,
`
`without limitation, the construction of the Asserted Claims.
`
`Should Defendant contend that any element or limitation of the Asserted Claims is absent
`
`in an Accused Instrumentality and/or Defendant’s products/services, B.E. reserves the right to
`
`demonstrate that the allegedly missing element or limitation is present in the Accused
`
`Instrumentality and/or Defendant’s products/services under the doctrine of equivalents.
`
`F.
`
`Identification Of Priority Date.
`
`The ’314 patent was filed on October 30, 2000, claiming priority from Division of U.S.
`
`Patent Application No. 09/118,351, filed July 17, 1998, now U.S. Patent No. 6,141,010. Thus,
`
`the ’314 Patent and each asserted claim are entitled to a priority date of at least as early as July
`
`17, 1998. The ’290 patent was filed on July 16, 1999, claiming priority from Continuation-in-
`
`Part of U.S. Patent Application No. 09/118,351, filed July 17, 1998, now U.S. Patent No.
`
`6,141,010. Thus, the ’290 Patent and each asserted claim are entitled to a priority date of at least
`
`as early as July 17, 1998. B.E. reserves the right to present evidence that the ’314 Patent and the
`
`’290 Patent are entitled to an earlier priority date based on an earlier conception of the claimed
`
`inventions and an earlier diligent reduction to practice.
`
`- 6 -
`
`Petitioner Microsoft Corporation - Ex. 1012, p. 6
`
`
`
`G. Willful Infringement.
`
`Based on the information presently known to B.E., without the benefit of complete
`
`discovery from Defendant, B.E. contends that Defendant willfully infringed the ’314 Patent and
`
`’290 Patent beginning no later than September 2012 when B.E. filed its Complaint for Patent
`
`Infringement against Defendant. Plaintiff believes that discovery will reveal that Defendant was
`
`aware of the ’314 Patent and the ’290 Patent long before September 2012, but Defendant
`
`nevertheless proceeded with its infringing conduct. At all times when Defendant was aware of
`
`the ’314 Patent and the ’290 Patent, Defendant undertook no efforts to design its
`
`products/services around the ’314 Patent and the ’290 Patent to avoid infringement despite
`
`Defendant’s knowledge and understanding that its products/services infringe these patents.
`
`As such, Defendant proceeded with the infringing conduct with knowledge of the ’314
`
`Patent and the ’290 Patent. Moreover, Defendant proceeded in the face of an unjustifiably high
`
`risk that it was infringing the claims of valid and enforceable ’314 Patent and ’290 Patent.
`
`Moreover, Defendant cannot formulate a credible defense based on non-infringement.
`
`Because Defendant is very familiar with the formulations of the Accused Instrumentalities and
`
`its other products/services, as well as the method of manufacturing the Accused Instrumentalities
`
`and Defendant’s other products/services, Defendant is aware that each and every element of each
`
`Asserted Claim of the ’314 Patent and ’290 Patent is present in the Accused Instrumentalities
`
`and Defendant’s other products/services. Defendant cannot articulate a convincing non-
`
`infringement argument.
`
`Given the facts and circumstances available prior to and during Defendant’s infringing
`
`actions, a reasonable person in Defendant’s position would have appreciated a high likelihood
`
`that acting in Defendant’s manner would infringe the ’314 Patent and the ’290 Patent.
`
`- 7 -
`
`Petitioner Microsoft Corporation - Ex. 1012, p. 7
`
`
`
`Furthermore, Defendant knew or should have known of the unjustifiably high risk that it was
`
`infringing the ’314 Patent and the ’290 Patent, each of which is valid and enforceable.
`
`II.
