`
`
`
`I.
`
`GENERAL STATEMENTS AND OBJECTIONS
`
`A.
`
`Infringement Contentions and Asserted Claims
`
`Plaintiff Godo Kaisha IP Bridge 1 (“Plaintiff” or “IP Bridge”) has served Defendants
`
`with its Disclosure of Asserted Claims and Infringement Contentions1 (IP Bridge’s
`
`“Infringement Contentions”) alleging infringement of the following patents: U.S. Patent No.
`
`6,538,324 (“the ’324 patent”); U.S. Patent No. 6,197,696 (“the ’696 patent”); U.S. Patent No.
`
`RE41,980 (“the ’980 patent”); U.S. Patent No. 7,126,174 (“the ’174 patent”); U.S. Patent No.
`
`8,354,726 (“the ’726 patent”); and U.S. Patent No. RE43,729 (“the ’729 patent”) (collectively,
`
`the “Asserted Patents”). Based on its Infringement Contentions, IP Bridge asserts infringement
`
`of the following claims:
`
`•
`•
`•
`•
`•
`•
`
`claims 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 of the ’324 patent;
`claim 13 of the ’696 patent;
`claims 18, 19, 30-36 and 47-51 of the ’980 patent;
`claims 1, 4, 5, 8-12 and 14 the ’174 patent;
`claims 1, 4, 8-10, 17-24, 26-28, 43, 46, 49, 50 and 52-62 of the ’726 patent; and
`claim 21 of the ’729 patent.
`
`(collectively, the “Asserted Claims”.)
`
`Defendants reserve the right to amend these disclosures and associated document
`
`production, should IP Bridge provide any information that it failed to provide in their
`
`Infringement Contentions, should IP Bridge amend its Infringement Contentions in any way, or
`
`should additional prior art come to light based on any clarification by IP Bridge of its
`
`Infringement Contentions. To the extent that IP Bridge’s Infringement Contentions and
`
`accompanying claim charts lack the specificity required to inform Defendants of the specifics of
`
`1 Nothing herein should be construed as a waiver of Defendants’ objections to IP Bridge’s Infringement Contentions
`for failure to comply with the Local Patent Rules.
`
`2
`
`Page 2 of 229
`
`
`
`certain aspects of IP Bridge’s infringement positions, Defendants provide these Invalidity
`
`Contentions consistent with the case schedule currently in place but do so without waiving any
`
`right to receive from Plaintiffs such full and complete specific infringement disclosures as should
`
`have been provided from the outset. Defendants’ compliance with the current schedule should
`
`not be viewed as a waiver of any rights in regard to IP Bridge’s Infringement Contentions,
`
`including its claim charts. Furthermore, if IP Bridge revises its Infringement Contentions,
`
`including any of its claim charts, to address any deficiencies that have been or may be identified
`
`by Defendants, Defendants reserve the right to amend or supplement their Invalidity
`
`Contentions.
`
`B.
`
`Claim Construction
`
`The Court has not yet construed the disputed terms of the Asserted Claims in the current
`
`case. Accordingly, after such constructions are known, and for all other permissible reasons,
`
`Defendants reserve the right to identify other art or to supplement their disclosures or contentions
`
`in accordance with P. R. 3-6. Defendants’ Invalidity Contentions are based, at least in part, on
`
`their present understanding of the Asserted Claims in light of the claim constructions IP Bridge
`
`appears to be asserting based on IP Bridge’s Infringement Contentions (to the extent IP Bridge’s
`
`assertions can be understood) without regard to whether Defendants agrees with such claim
`
`constructions.
`
`Defendants take no position on any matter of claim construction in these Invalidity
`
`Contentions. If the Invalidity Contentions are consistent with or implicit in IP Bridge’s
`
`Infringement Contentions, no inference is intended or should be drawn that Defendants agree
`
`with such claim constructions. Any statement herein describing or tending to describe any claim
`
`element is provided solely for the purpose of understanding the relevant prior art. Defendants
`
`3
`
`Page 3 of 229
`
`
`
`expressly reserve the right to propose any claim construction it considers appropriate and/or to
`
`contest any claim construction they consider inappropriate.
`
`In addition, because the Court has not yet construed the terms of the Asserted Claims,
`
`Defendants’ Invalidity Contentions are sometimes made in the alternative and are not necessarily
`
`intended to be consistent with each other. Further, by including in this disclosure prior art that
`
`would be anticipatory or render a claim obvious based on a particular scope or construction of
`
`the claims, including constructions applied by IP Bridge in its Infringement Contentions,
`
`Defendants’ Invalidity Contentions are not, and should in no way be seen as, adoptions or
`
`admissions as to the accuracy of such scope or construction. Consistent with the Patent Rules
`
`and/or orders of the Court, specifically Patent Rule 3-6, Defendants reserve all rights to further
`
`supplement or modify these Invalidity Contentions, including without limitation, the prior art and
`
`grounds of invalidity set forth herein, upon the discovery of additional prior art references from
`
`any source, after the Court has construed the asserted claims, and if IP Bridge is permitted at any
`
`time to amend its contentions—including its final contentions—at any reasonable time thereafter.
`
`C.
`
`Ongoing Discovery and Disclosures
`
`Discovery in this case is in its early stages, and Defendants’ investigation into the
`
`invalidity and unenforceability of the Asserted Patents, including Defendants’ search for prior
`
`art, is ongoing. Defendants reserve the right to supplement their Invalidity Contentions
`
`including, without limitation, adding additional prior art and grounds of invalidity or
`
`unenforceability. Defendants’ reservation of rights to incorporate additional prior art and
`
`invalidity claim charts includes, but is not limited to, claim charts based on materials obtained in
`
`response to subpoenas.
`
`Defendants specifically reserve the right to rely on discovery and papers and evidence
`
`filed, served, or submitted by IP Bridge in connection with this litigation. Additionally,
`4
`
`Page 4 of 229
`
`
`
`Defendants reserve the right to present additional prior art or evidence of prior art located during
`
`the course of third-party discovery or further investigation, and to amend or supplement their
`
`Invalidity Contentions to the extent that such discovery or investigation yields information
`
`forming the basis for such contentions.
`
`D.
`
`Other Defenses
`
`These Invalidity Contentions are generally limited to Defendants’ current positions
`
`regarding the grounds of invalidity specifically called for in Patent Rule 3-3 of the Eastern
`
`District of Texas. Defendants reserve the right to assert and pursue all other defenses, including
`
`those based on grounds of invalidity, that may be available, including all of the affirmative
`
`defenses pled in any of Defendants’ answers, or any other grounds.
`
`E.
`
`Additional Contentions
`
`Defendants incorporate by reference as if fully set forth herein all grounds of previously
`
`asserted against the patents. In particular, Defendants incorporate by reference all prior art
`
`references and grounds of invalidity set forth in the invalidity contentions provided in any action
`
`against the Asserted Patents, including Panasonic Corporation v. Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.,
`
`Civil Action No. 2:10-cv-1668 (E.D Tex.).
`
`II.
`
`P. R. 3-3(A) IDENTIFICATION OF PRIOR ART
`
`Each of the Asserted Claims of the Asserted Patents are anticipated and/or rendered
`
`obvious by the prior art identified below. Pursuant to P. R. 3-4(b), Defendants are producing
`
`herewith a copy or sample of the prior art identified below, to the extent copies of such prior art
`
`have not already been produced and to the extent such copies or samples are available to
`
`Defendants and can be produced at this time.
