`
`
`WORLDS INC.’S SIXTH SUPPLEMENTAL
`DISCLOSURE OF THE CLAIMS INFRINGED
`
`Worlds Inc. (“Worlds”) provides the following sixth supplemental disclosure of the
`
`claims infringed. Worlds submits this supplemental disclosure in light of the Court’s June 26,
`
`2015 claim construction order.1
`
`Worlds’ statements herein are based on publicly available information and the computer
`
`source code and documentation that Defendants have provided. Discovery is ongoing, and
`
`certain documentation and information may not yet be available to Worlds that is fundamental to
`
`its infringement claims. In particular, Worlds has not yet deposed officers or employees of any
`
`defendants or third parties concerning the operation, functionality and integration, packaging, or
`
`terminology of their respective products. Worlds reserves the right to amend its infringement
`
`disclosures in light of further discovery.
`
`With publicly available data, it is occasionally difficult to identify Defendants’ infringing
`
`products by name. However, Defendants have given Worlds information regarding the titles in
`
`the Call of Duty and World of Warcraft franchises. Therefore, Worlds’ identification is based on
`
`
`1 The Court’s scheduling order permits Worlds to submit supplemental and amended infringement disclosures
`within 30 days of its claim construction order. See D.I. 27, 29.

`
`Defendants’ representations. If additional titles in the Call of Duty or World of Warcraft
`
`franchises are identified during discovery (or if additional versions of previously identified titles
`
`are discovered), Worlds reserves the right to add those versions to this lawsuit.
`
`Based on the information provided by Defendants, the infringing products in the Call of
`
`Duty franchise include the following games and all versions thereof, across all non-mobile
`
`platforms (including PC, Mac, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox, Xbox 360,
`
`Xbox One, Wii, and Wii-U)2: Call of Duty; Call of Duty: United Offensive; Call of Duty 2; Call
`
`of Duty 2: Big Red One; Call of Duty 3; Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare; Call of Duty 4:
`
`Modern Warfare “Reflex Edition”; Call of Duty: World at War; Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
`
`2; Call of Duty: Black Ops; Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3; Call of Duty: Ghosts; and Call of
`
`Duty: Advanced Warfare. The infringing products in the World of Warcraft franchise include the
`
`following games and all versions thereof, across all platforms: World of Warcraft; World of
`
`Warcraft: Burning Crusade (expansion set); World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Litch King
`
`(expansion set); World of Warcraft: Cataclysm (expansion set); World of Warcraft: Mists of
`
`Pandaria (expansion set); World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor (expansion set). Collectively,
`
`these titles in the Call of Duty and World of Warcraft franchises compose the Accused Products.
`
`In Worlds’ First Requests for Production, served August 29, 2012, Worlds requested that
`
`defendants produce and make available for inspection source code for all versions and iterations
`
`of all titles in the Call of Duty and World of Warcraft franchises (i.e., the accused products
`
`specified above). Worlds’ statements herein are based on the source code that defendants have
`
`made available in response to those requests for production. Defendants have purported to make
`
`available for inspection “source code relating to the Accused Products that is sufficient to show
`
`the operation of the accused product(s) or method(s) that Worlds identified in its preliminary
`
`
`2 Worlds does not allege that any mobile versions of Call of Duty or World of Warcraft are infringing products.

`
`Case 1:12-cv-10576-DJC Document 160 Filed 07/27/15 Page 3 of 6
`
`infringement disclosure.” See, e.g., Activision’s Second Supplemental Non-infringement
`
`Contentions at 6 (D.I. 52). To the extent Defendants make additional source code available for
`
`inspection — or to the extent Defendants’ tendered source code does not include code for all
`
`World of Warcraft and Call of Duty titles and products, or to the extent Defendants’ release or
`
`market new World of Warcraft or Call of Duty titles during the pendency of this lawsuit —
`
`Worlds may supplement these contentions or seek other relief from the court. Furthermore,
`
`Worlds expressly reserves the right to supplement, augment, or alter its responses herein based
`
`on additional information obtained through discovery or other means concerning defendants’
`
`respective products and services.
`
`Worlds incorporates the allegations set forth in its Original and First Amended
`
`Complaints as if fully set forth herein, as well as in its Original and Supplemental Disclosures of
`
`Claims Infringed. Subject to the above limitations and reservations of right, Worlds makes the
`
`following additional disclosures:
`
`Worlds claims that each element of each asserted claim is directly infringed by
`
`Defendants. If for any reason the Accused Products are not found to directly meet each element
`
`of an asserted claim, Worlds alleges that Defendants are contributing to the infringement of such
`
`claim or inducing its infringement by others because the accused functionalities have no
`
`substantial non-infringing use, and because Defendants are aware that they are inducing the
`
`direct infringement by its users and customers of the Accused Products. Moreover, Worlds
`
`claims that each element of each asserted claim is present literally in the Accused Products.
`
`Worlds reserves the right to contend that the Accused Products still infringe under the doctrine of
`
`equivalents.
`
`Based on information presently available to it, Worlds asserts that defendants infringe at
`
`least the following claims of U.S. Patent No. 7,181,690 by their manufacture, sale, offer for sale,

`Case 1:12-cv-10576-DJC Document 160 Filed 07/27/15 Page 4 of 6
`
`and use of their Call of Duty and World of Warcraft products having the accused functionality as
`
`more fully set forth in Exhibits A and B-1 through B-13: claims 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12,
`
`13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 19.
`
`Based on information presently available to it, Worlds asserts that defendants infringe at
`
`least the following claims of U.S. Patent No. 7,493,558 by their manufacture, sale, offer for sale,
`
`and use of their Call of Duty and World of Warcraft products having the accused functionality as
`
`more fully set forth in Exhibits C and D-1 through D-13: claims 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.
`
`Based on information presently available to it, Worlds asserts that defendants infringe at
`
`least the following claim of U.S. Patent No. 7,945,856 by their manufacture, sale, offer for sale,
`
`and use of their Call of Duty and World of Warcraft products having the accused functionality as
`
`more fully set forth in Exhibits E and F-1 through F-13: claim 1.
`
`Based on information presently available to it, Worlds asserts that defendants infringe at
`
`least the following claims of U.S. Patent No. 8,082,501 by their manufacture, sale, offer for sale,
`
`and use of their Call of Duty and World of Warcraft products having the accused functionality as
`
`more fully set forth in Exhibits G and H-1 through H-13: claims 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 (World of
`
`Warcraft only), 8, 10, 12, 14, 15, and 16 (World of Warcraft only).
`
`Based on information presently available to it, Worlds asserts that defendants infringe at
`
`least the following claims of U.S. Patent No. 8,145,998 by their manufacture, sale, offer for sale,
`
`and use of their Call of Duty and World of Warcraft products having the accused functionality as
`
`more fully set forth in Exhibits I and J-1 through J-13: claims 1, 18, and 20.
`
`At this time, Worlds knows of no specific limitations of the asserted claims where
`
`infringement depends on equivalents. Worlds alleges that if there are any differences between the
`
`claim elements in the aforementioned claims and the accused systems or methods, the
`
`differences are insubstantial and infringement would exist under the doctrine of equivalents.
