`
`Pursuant to CV-83, P.R. 3-1 and 3-2, Plaintiffs e-Watch, Inc. and e-Watch Corporation
`
`(collectively, “e-Watch”), by and through its undersigned attorneys, state as follows:
`
`I.
`DISCLOSURE OF ASSERTED CLAIMS AND INFRINGEMENT CONTENTIONS
`
`(A) Each claim of each patent in suit that is allegedly infringed by each opposing party;
`
`its
`the status of
`to e-Watch and
`information presently available
`Based on
`investigation, e-Watch alleges infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent No.
`7,365,871 (the “’871 patent”) and U.S. Patent No. 7,643,168 (the “168 patent”) by
`defendants HTC Corporation and HTC America, Inc. (collectively, “HTC”). The specific
`asserted patent and associated claims relative to HTC are individually enumerated in the
`claim charts attached hereto. e-Watch reserves the right to amend and/or supplement the
`identification of asserted claims as discovery progresses, in response to the Court’s claim
`construction and otherwise in accordance with the Local Patent Rules and the Court’s
`Docket Control Order.
`
`Separately for each asserted claim, each accused apparatus, product, device, process,
`method, act, or other instrumentality (“Accused Instrumentality”) of each opposing
`party of which the party is aware. This identification shall be as specific as possible.
`Each product, device, or apparatus which, when used, allegedly results in the practice
`of the claimed method or process;

`Page 1 of 27
`
`

`
`
`
`
`(C)
`
`Based on information presently available to e-Watch and the status of its investigation, e-
`Watch provides the Attachments hereto, including claim charts identifying each Accused
`Instrumentality for each asserted claim. e-Watch reserves the right to amend and/or
`supplement the identification of each Accused System as discovery progresses, in
`response to the Court’s claim construction and otherwise in accordance with the Local
`Patent Rules and the Court’s Docket Control Order.
`
`A chart identifying specifically where each element of each asserted claim is found
`within each Accused Instrumentality, including for each element that such party
`contends is governed by 35 U.S.C. § 112(6), the identity of the structure(s), act(s), or
`material(s) in the Accused Instrumentality that performs the claimed function;
`
`The attachments hereto reflect the present infringement contentions of e-Watch based on
`information reasonably available to it as of this date. e-Watch reserves the right to seek to
`amend, supplement or narrow these contentions as discovery progresses, in response to
`the Court’s claim construction and otherwise in accordance with the Local Patent Rules
`and the Court’s Docket Control Order.
`
`(D) Whether each element of each asserted claim is claimed to be literally present or
`present under the doctrine of equivalents in the Accused Instrumentality;
`
`Based on the information currently available to e-Watch, each element of each asserted
`claim appears to be literally present. To the extent any element is not found to be literally
`present, e-Watch asserts an equivalent element is present having insubstantial differences.
`Following discovery regarding
`the defendants’ products,
`including confidential
`information, source code and technical specifications pertaining to the Accused System,
`e-Watch reserves the right to seek leave to amend or supplement its allegations under the
`doctrine of equivalents. e-Watch further reserves the right to amend and/or supplement its
`contentions relative to the doctrine of equivalents in response to the Court’s claim
`construction and otherwise in accordance with the Local Patent Rules and the Court’s
`Docket Control Order.
`
`(E)
`
`For any patent that claims priority to an earlier application, the priority date to which
`each asserted claim is entitled; and
`
`The asserted claims of the ‘871 patent and the ‘168 patent are entitled to a priority date of
`January 12, 1998 based on U.S. Application No. 09/006,073.
`
`(F)
`
`If a party claiming patent infringement wishes to preserve the right to rely, for any
`purpose, on the assertion that its own apparatus, product, device, process, method, act
`or other instrumentality practices the claimed invention, the party must identify,
`separately for each asserted claim, each such apparatus, product, device, process,
`method, act, or other instrumentality that incorporates or reflects that particular claim.
`
`Not applicable.

`The apparatus includes a processing platform—which includes but is not limited to
`circuitry implementing the baseband (alternatively referred to as digital baseband,
`baseband processor, or modem) and associated supporting circuitry. The processing
`platform may further include circuitry responsible for implementing and supporting
`IEEE 802.11-compliant (WiFi) functionality. The processing platform is associated
`with the protocols enumerated in the previous element. The processing platform
`includes an interface through which it is provided the compressed visual image data.
`The baseband circuitry which receives information, including the compressed visual
`image data, executes the transmission protocol algorithm and provides the information
`in a transmission format:
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`• Baseband circuitry that supports transmission of visual image data via MMS
`will prepare the provided visual image data for transmission by the mobile
`phone in accordance with the MMS protocol. Compressed visual image data
`formats supported by the MMS specification include JPEG for still images and
`MPEG-4 for motion video.

`In non-MMS cellular operation over GSM, CDMA, and LTE networks via such
`protocols as GPRS, EDGE, UMTS (3G), HSDPA, HSUPA, CDMA 1XRTT, CDMA
`EV-DO, and LTE the baseband and other circuitry implement a transmission protocol
`algorithm that provides the compressed visual image data in a transmission format
`compatible for wireless transmission by the mobile phone.
