`PLAINTIFF UUSI, LLC, d/b/a NARTRON’S
`DISCLOSURE OF ASSERTED CLAIMS AND
`INFRINGEMENT CONTENTIONS
`
`Pursuant to the Court’s Scheduling Order (Dkt. No. 41), UUSI, LLC, d/b/a
`
`
`
`Nartron (“UUSI” or “Plaintiff”) provides the following asserted claims and
`
`
`
`1
`
`Webasto Roof Systems, Inc.
`Exhibit 1016
`
`
`
`infringement contentions (“Disclosure”) with respect to U.S. Patent No. 7,548,037
`
`(“the ‘037 Patent”), U.S. Patent No. 7,579,802 (“the ‘802 Patent”), and U.S. Patent
`
`No. 8,271,612 (“the ‘612 Patent”) (collectively the “Patents in Suit”) to Defendant
`
`Webasto Roof Systems, Inc. (“Webasto” or “Defendant”).
`
`
`
`Discovery in this matter is ongoing as is Plaintiff’s investigation. This
`
`Disclosure is based on the information available to Plaintiff as of the date of this
`
`Disclosure. Plaintiff reserves the right to amend this Disclosure after further
`
`discovery, including to the full extent available in view of the Court’s ruling on
`
`claim construction. Plaintiff also reserves the right to assert additional claims of
`
`the Patents in Suit, accuse different products, or identify alternative literal and/or
`
`equivalent infringing elements in Defendant’s Accused Products as disclosed
`
`below.
`
`
`
`Plaintiff asserts that Defendant has infringed and continues to infringe, at
`
`least, as noted in the following:
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`- The ‘037 Patent: Claim 1, 7, and 13 (see Exhibit A)
`
`- The ‘612 Patent: Claims 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, and 8 (see Exhibit B)
`
`- The ‘802 Patent: Claims 1, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 15 and 16 (see Exhibit C)
`
`The claim charts set forth at Exhibits A, B and C, identify where each
`
`limitation of each claim is found within the Accused Products, based on
`
`information available to date as disclosed within the charts. For example,
`
`
`
`2
`
`Webasto Roof Systems, Inc.
`Exhibit 1016
`
`
`
`Webasto’s responses to Interrogatory No. 2 identified the Accused Products on
`
`September 25, 2013 and January 24, 2014. Discovery may disclose other products
`
`and/or information for the identified Accused Products or otherwise.
`
`
`
`Plaintiff’s contentions are not an admission, adoption or waiver of any
`
`particular claim construction, and Plaintiff therefore reserves all rights with respect
`
`to claim construction. As noted, Plaintiff reserves the right to supplement its
`
`contentions based on the Court’s claim construction ruling and further reserves the
`
`right to supplement in view of the anticipated non-infringement positions that
`
`Webasto will take in response to Interrogatory No. 11 served on January 15, 2014.
`
`By way of further example and not by way of limitation, Webasto has already
`
`disclosed through its First Supplemental and Amended Response to Interrogatory
`
`No. 1, dated January 24, 2014, that it does not have a “regulator.” Plaintiff in
`
`
`
`3
`
`Webasto Roof Systems, Inc.
`Exhibit 1016
`
`
`
`Exhibit A, claim 1, identified two alternative positions for a “regulator.” Plaintiff,
`
`in addition, states that there is a third position -- one of ordinary skill in the art, for
`
`example, may identify a “regulator” as the interconnection between the sunroof
`
`and the motor assembly.
`
`
`
`Each element of each asserted claim and is present literally or under the
`
`doctrine of equivalents in the Accused Products, because there is no substantial
`
`difference between the elements of the asserted claims and the corresponding
`
`elements in the Accused Products, i.e., the corresponding elements of the Accused
`
`Products do substantially the same thing, substantially the same way to achieve
`
`substantially the same result.
