`

`
`
`PLAINTIFF WINDY CITY
`INNOVATIONS, LLC’S PATENT L.R.
`3-1 AND 3-2 DISCLOSURES
`
`
`
`
`Facebook's Exhibit No. 1015
`Page 1
`
`

`
`U.S. Patent No. 8,694,657 (the “’697 Patent”) (collectively, the “Patents-in-Suit”), to
`
`Defendant Facebook Incorporated (“Facebook”).
`
`Plaintiff’s investigation is ongoing, and discovery is in its early stages. Accordingly,
`
`these disclosures are based on information available to Plaintiff at this time. Plaintiff reserves
`
`the right to supplement this disclosure after further discovery from Facebook, particularly
`
`documents and other discovery regarding Facebook’s Accused Instrumentalities as disclosed
`
`below. Plaintiff also reserves the right to accuse different instrumentalities or find alternative
`
`literal and/or equivalent infringing elements in Facebook’s Accused Instrumentalities as
`
`disclosed below.
`
`Pursuant to Patent L.R. 2-2 and the Protective Order entered in this case on August 2,
`
`2016 (see Dkt. No. 67), all document production accompanying Plaintiff’s Disclosure of
`
`Asserted Claims and Infringement Contentions shall be deemed CONFIDENTIAL.
`
`Plaintiffs’ P.R. 3-1(c) charts contain reference and citation to Facebook’s source code, and as
`such, should be treated as HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – SOURCE CODE.1
`I. PLAINTIFF’S RULE 3-1 DISCLOSURES
`A. ASSERTED CLAIMS
`
`Pursuant to Patent L.R. 3-1(a), Plaintiff asserts that Facebook has infringed and
`
`continues to infringe at least the following claims of the ʼ356 Patent: 1, 2, 7, 14, 16, 19, 20,
`
`26, 33, and 35.
`
`Plaintiff also asserts that Facebook has infringed and continues to infringe at least the
`
`following claims of the ʼ245 Patent: 19, 22, 23,24, and 25.
`
`
`1 In many portions of Plaintiff’s 3-1 and 3-2 disclosures, Plaintiff has gone beyond the disclosure
`requirements required by P.R. 3-1 and 3-2. These additional disclosures and citations are made
`for the benefit of Defendant. Plaintiff in no way confines its contentions to the specific citations
`of evidence and explicitly reserves the right to rely on additional or different evidence as the case
`moves forward through fact discovery, expert discovery, and trial. Furthermore, any omission of
`any other specific citation to the Accused Instrumentalities or documents related thereto does not
`constitute a waiver of Plaintiff’s right to raise any issues related to the Accused Instrumentalities
`or other documents related thereto at a later date.

`
`Plaintiff also asserts that Facebook has infringed and continues to infringe at least the
`
`following claims of the ʼ552 Patent: 10, 14, 15, 16, 17, 59, and 64.

`
`Plaintiff reserves the right to seek leave of the Court to add, delete, substitute, or
`
`otherwise amend this list of asserted claims should further discovery, the Court’s claim
`
`construction, or other circumstances so merit. Specifically, Plaintiff reserves the right to seek
`
`leave of the Court to add, delete, substitute, or otherwise amend this list of asserted claims in
`
`light of the forthcoming Patent Trial and Appeals Board decisions regarding institution of
`
`Inter Partes Review petition numbers: IPR2016-01137; IPR2016-01138; IPR2016-01141;

`
`Pursuant to Patent L.R. 3-1(b), Plaintiff asserts that the Asserted Claims of the
`
`Patents-In-Suit are infringed by Facebook by at least the following (the “Accused

`Instrumentalities”): (i) www.facebook.com: website application for browser based clients

`
`server-side components); (ii) www.messenger.com: website application for browser based

`
`and server-side components), including Messenger app for iOS, Messenger app for Android,
`
`Messenger app for Blackberry OS, Messenger app for Windows Phone 8, and Messenger app

`Facebook’s Accused Instrumentalities should also be understood to include supported
`
`instrumentalities into which the Accused Instrumentalities are integrated or included when
`
`they are configured and operating in a system as specified by Facebook, including
`
`Facebook’s master discs and other media that store, cache, or distribute communications
