`
`III.
`
`PMC’s P.R. 3-1(c) Disclosures
`
`Subject to ongoing discovery and investigation, PMC hereby contends that each element
`
`of each infringed claim is found within each Apple Accused Instrumentality as shown in
`
`
`
`- 4 -
`
`VIZIO, Inc. Exhibit 1008
`4 of 8
`
`
`
`preliminary infringement claim charts attached hereto as Exhibits A, B, C, & D. PMC has
`
`tentatively identified the claim terms that may require claim construction, by underlining and
`
`bolding those claim terms in the “Asserted Claims” column of the infringement claim charts.
`
`These identifications are based on information currently available to PMC. PMC reserves the
`
`right to amend its asserted claims and infringement contentions pursuant to P.R. 3-6 as
`
`discovery progresses and additional information is gathered.
`
`IV.
`
`PMC’s P.R. 3-1(d) Disclosures
`
`Subject to ongoing discovery and investigation, PMC hereby contends that, except where
`
`it is indicated otherwise, each element of each asserted claim is literally present in each of the
`
`Accused Instrumentalities as specifically shown in Exhibits A, B, C, & D.
`
`At this time, PMC believes that the following elements of the asserted claims where
`
`infringement may depend on equivalents:
`
` Claim 2 of the ’635 Patent: “first decryptor” or “second decryptor”
`
` Claim 21 of the ’635 Patent: “first processor control” or “second processor control”
`
` Claims 39 and 67 of the ’649 Patent: “television receiver” [only if the preamble is
`
`found to be limiting]
`
`However, as indicated above, more discovery is required for PMC’s literal infringement
`
`position, and the Court have yet to issue any claim construction order. Pursuant to P.R. 3-6,
`
`PMC expressly reserves the right to augment and supplement its position on whether there is
`
`infringement under the doctrine of equivalents of any other elements of any asserted claims after
`
`further discovery from Apple and/or depending on this Court’s decision on all the claim
`
`construction issues.

`
`
`V.
`
`PMC’s P.R. 3-1(e) Disclosures
`
`Pursuant to P.R. 3-1(e), PMC presently contends that the asserted claims of U.S. Patent
`
`Nos. 8,559,635 and 8,752,088 are entitled to the priority date of U.S. Patent Application No.
`
`06/317,510, filed November 3, 1981, which issued as U.S. Patent No. 4,694,490.
`
`PMC further contends that the asserted claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 7,752,649 and
`
`8,191,091 are at least entitled to the priority date of United States Patent Application Serial No.
`
`07/096,096, filed September 11, 1987, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,965,825, which was a continuation-
`
`in-part of U.S. Patent Application No. 06/829,531, filed February 14, 1986, now U.S. Patent No.
`
`4,704,725, which was a continuation of U.S. Patent Application No. 06/317,510, filed November
`
`3, 1981, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,694,490.
`
`VI.
`
`PMC’S P.R. 3-1(f) Disclosures
`
`PMC does not rely upon the assertion that its own instrumentalities practice the claimed
`
`
`
`
`
`Respectfully Submitted,
`
`invention.
