`Further to our call last night, can you please provide an update concerning FastVDO’s position on the

`
`
`Hello Chris,
`
`
`Thanks for the follow up email. This covers the same points raised in your May 25th email. As
`we previously discussed, we do not think our contentions are deficient. We also believe
`Defendants’ excessive delay in raising these issues not only confirms the sufficiency of
`FastVDO’s disclosures, but also renders any potential dispute moot under Judge Gallo’s rules,
`including Rule IV(C) and (F).
`
`I am available tomorrow afternoon around 2:30 pm Pacific to discuss this further and also Friday
`morning.
`
`
`Thanks,
`Reza

`
`Counsel,
`
` 
`FastVDO’s amended preliminary claim constructions served on 6/1 identified numerous 
`proposed structures for the means plus function elements of claims 7‐11 and 22‐26. 
`FastVDO’s infringement contentions for these claims, however, did not provide the 
`identity of these structures as required by the Court’s Scheduling Order. Dkt. 125 
`(requiring that Plaintiff’s contentions include 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”) (emphasis added). 
`
` 
`Please confirm that FastVDO will supplement its infringement contentions for these 
`claims to identify the accused structures no later than 6/7, or else confirm that FastVDO 
`is no longer asserting claims 7‐11 and 22‐26. If FastVDO is unwilling or unable to do so, 
`please provide a time on 6/7 or 6/8 when FastVDO is available to meet and confer.

`Apple Inc. Exhibit 1012 Page 2
`
`

`
`As we noted previously, the substantive deficiencies in FastVDO’s infringement 
`contentions have prejudiced Defendants’ ability to fully analyze and consider the alleged 
`scope of the asserted claim limitations in advance of the deadlines to serve proposed 
`claim constructions. Defendants continue to reserve the right to serve modified claim 
`constructions.
