`in support of VirnetX’s request that the Commission institute an investigation pursuant to

`grateful for this courtesy.
`
`We have conferred with Supervisory Attorney—Adviser Jennifer Rohrbach of Docket
`Services, and, in consultation with Lisa Barton, have taken steps to ensure that exhibits filed on
`CD may be readily accessed by the Commission and Proposed Respondents. We have further
`determined that there are no viruses, password protection, or subfolders on any CD. In addition,
`we have included electronic indices for each CD for ease of reference.
`
`Complainant has requested, but has not yet received, an original certified copy of the
`Patent, Assignment, and File History for US. Patent 8,051,181. We will submit original certified
`copies as soon as the copies are received from the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
`Additionally, we have conferred with Lisa Barton regarding outstanding technical references to
`Appendix B. We intend to supplement Appendix B as soon as we receive the additional technical
`references.
`'
`
`Accordingly, VirnetX submits the following documents for filing:

`
`RE:
`
`In the Matter of Certain Devices with Secure Communication Capabilities,
`Components Thereof, and Products Containing the Same
`
`Dear Secretary Holbein:
`
`Complainant VirnetX, Inc. (“VimetX”) by counsel, hereby requests, pursuant to 19
`CFR. § 201.6, confidential treatment of the confidential business information contained in
`Confidential Exhibit Nos. 3C, 23C, and 27C to VimetX’s Section 337 Complaint transmitted
`herewith.
`
`Confidential treatment is sought for the following Confidential Exhibits:
`
`1.
`
`2.
`
`3.
`
`Confidential Exhibit No. 3C, which discloses the identity of all licensees of the
`asserted patent;
`
`Confidential Exhibit No. 23C which describes, among other things, facts and
`information supporting the domestic industry; and,
`
`Confidential Exhibit No. 27C which is a copy of a license agreement.
`
`The information described above qualifies as confidential information pursuant to 19
`C.F.R. § 201.6 because it is not available to the public; unauthorized disclosure of such
`information could cause substantial harm to VirnetX’s competitive position; and the disclosure
`of the information for which VirnetX seeks confidential treatment could impair the
`Commission’s ability to obtain information necessary to perform its statutory functions.

`
`UNLAWFUL AND UNFAIR ACTS OF RESPONDENT
`
`31.

`
`indirectly infringe at least claims 1, 2, 4-12, 17, 19, 21, 22, 24-29 of the ’181 patent. Discovery
`
`may reveal that Apple and its Accused Products infringe additional claims of the ‘ 181 patent.
`
`32.
`
`On information and belief, Apple, among other things, manufactures, has
`
`manufactured, distributes, imports into the United States, sells for importation, and/or sells after
`
`importation devices that operate in a manner covered by the assertedclaims of the ‘ 181 patent.
`
`33.
`
`On information and belief, exemplary products that infringe one or more claims
`
`of the Assorted Patent include, but are not limited to, Apple’s iPhone 4, iPhone 48, iPad 2, iPod
`
`Touch, and Macs running on the “Lion” operating system. Discovery may reveal additional
`
`products that infringe. This identification of specific products or types of products is intended
`
`only to be exemplary and is not intended to limit the scope of the investigation or remedy, which
`
`' should extend to all infringing goods.
`
`34.
`
`Attached as Exhibit 7 is a chart that applies independent claims 1, 2, 24, 26, 28,
`
`and 29 of the ‘ 181 patent to representative Accused Products. See also Exhibits 5, 8-17, 39.
`
`35.
`
`On information and belief, Apple manufactures, has manufactured, distributes,
`
`imports into the United States, sells for importation, and/or sells after importation all elements of
`
`the asserted claims, thereby directly and indirectly infringing those claims.

`

`36.
`
`Upon information and belief, Apple directly infringes claims 1, 2, 4-12, l7, 19,
`
`21, 22, 24—29 of the ‘181 patent by providing certain devices with secure communication
`
`capabilities, components thereof and products containing the same.
`
`37.
`
`Upon information and belief, Apple indirectly infringes claims 1, 2, 4—12, 17, 19,
`
`21, 22, 24-29 of the ‘181 patent by contributing to the direct infringement of others, including
`
`users of the accused devices with secure communication capabilities, components thereof and
`
`products containing the same that are elements of VirnetX’s patented invention and/or by
`
`providing devices with secure communication capabilities, components thereof and products
`
`containing the same that are materials or apparatuses for use in practicing VirnetX’s patented
`
`methods and apparatuses, and constitute a material part of the invention. Apple knew or was
`
`willfully blind that
`
`the same was especially made or especially adapted for use in an
`
`infringement of such patent, and not a staple article or commodity of commerce suitable for
`
`substantial non-infiinging use.
`
`38.
`
`Upon information and belief, Apple further actively induces others, including
`
`users of the accused devices with secure communication capabilities, components thereof and
`
`products containing the same to directly infringe asserted claims 1, 2, 4—12, 17, 19, 21, 22, 24-29
`
`of the ‘181 patent by providing directions, demonstrations, guides, and/or manuals that
`
`encourage and facilitate others to perform actions known and intended by Apple to be acts of
`
`infringement. Upon information and belief, Apple knew or was willfully blind that its actions
`
`would cause infringement of the ’ 181 patent and did so with intent to encourage infringement.
`
`39.
`
`Apple knew of or was willfully blind to the existence of the ‘ 181 patent at least
`
`because on November 1, 2011, a district court action was brought against Apple alleging that it
`
`infringes the ‘ 181 patent.

`importation, and/or sells within the United States after importation products and/or products that
`
`infringe the asserted claims. Upon information and belief, Apple’s accused products are
`
`manufactured abroad, sold for importation, and sold in the United States after importation by

`
`52.
