`

`Blitzsafe reserves the right to amend this list of accused instrumentalities, as well as
`
`other information contained in this document and the exhibits hereto, to incorporate new
`
`information learned during the course of discovery, including, but not limited to, the inclusion of
`
`newly released products or any other equivalent devices ascertained through discovery.
`
`C.
`
`CLAIM CHARTS
`
`Claim charts identifying a location of every element of every asserted claim of the
`
`Blitzsafe Patents within accused products are attached hereto as Appendices A–D. Blitzsafe
`
`believes that the Toyota Accused Products and Lexus Accused Products cited in the claim charts
`
`are representative of the Toyota Accused Products and Lexus Accused Products. Blitzsafe
`
`reserves the right to amend these claim charts as well as other information contained in this
`
`document and the appendices hereto, to incorporate new information learned during the course
`
`of discovery, including, but not limited to, information that is not publically available or readily
`
`discernible without discovery. Blitzsafe further reserves the right to amend these claim charts,
`
`as well as other information contained in this document and the exhibits attached hereto,
`
`pursuant to Patent Local Rules 3-1(g) and 3-6.
`
`D.
`
`LITERAL INFRINGEMENT AND DOCTRINE OF EQUIVALENTS
`
`Blitzsafe asserts that, under the proper construction of the asserted claims and their claim
`
`terms, the limitations of the asserted claims of the Blitzsafe Patents are literally present in the
`
`Toyota Accused Products and Lexus Accused Products as set forth in the claim charts attached
`
`hereto as Appendices A–D. Blitzsafe contends that any and all elements found not to be
`
`literally infringed are infringed under the doctrine of equivalents because the differences
`
`between the claimed inventions and the accused instrumentalities, if any, are insubstantial.

`

`

`Blitzsafe also contends that Toyota directly infringes the asserted claims by making,
`
`using, offering for sale, selling, and importing in to the United States the accused
`
`instrumentalities as well as indirectly infringe by contributing to and/or inducing others (e.g.,
`
`Toyota’s customers or its customers’ customers) to directly infringe those claims by making,
`
`using, offering for sale or selling the Toyota Accused Products and Lexus Accused Products.
`
`Pursuant to Patent Local Rule 3-6(a)(1), Blitzsafe reserves the right to amend its
`
`Infringement Contentions as to literal infringement or infringement under the doctrine of
`
`equivalents in light of the Court’s claim construction.
`
`E.
`
`PRIORITY DATES
`
`Each of the asserted claims of the ’786 patent is entitled to the priority date of U.S.
`
`Patent Application No. 10/316,961, filed December 11, 2002, under P.R. 3-1(e). Blitzsafe
`
`reserves the right to establish an earlier date of invention based upon actions related to
`
`conception and reduction to practice of the claimed inventions.
`
`Each of the asserted claims of the ’342 patent is entitled to the priority date of U.S.
`
`Patent Application No. 11/475,847, filed June 27, 2006, under P.R. 3-1(e). Blitzsafe reserves
`
`the right to establish an earlier date of invention based upon actions related to conception and
`
`reduction to practice of the claimed inventions.
`
`F.
`
`BLITZSAFE’S OWN PRODUCTS
`
`Blitzsafe is continuing to investigate what products and/or historical products may practice
`
`the claimed inventions. At the present time Blitzsafe's investigation is focused on the products in
`
`the list attached hereto. Blitzsafe’s investigation is ongoing, and Blitzsafe will supplement these
`
`contentions following its investigation (and claim construction as necessary).

`II.
`
`PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS PURSUANT TO PATENT LOCAL RULE 3-2
`
`Blitzsafe is producing or making available for inspection documents that are in
`
`Blitzsafe’s possession, custody or control as set forth in Patent Local Rule 3-2. A Blitzsafe 3-2
`
`Production Index identifying these documents is attached hereto.
`
`This preliminary identification of documents is for convenience and is not an admission
`
`that each document falls within any exemplary categories in the Patent Local Rules, or that any
`
`document qualifies as prior art. Blitzsafe is continuing with its investigation, particularly with
`
`respect to ESI. Thus, Blitzsafe reserves its right to add to, delete from, or otherwise modify its
`
`disclosures in this section as its investigation proceeds.
`
`Production of these documents is governed by Patent Local Rule 2-2, and, with the
`
`exception of documents produced pursuant to P.R. 3.2(c) and public documents listed in the
`
`infringement charts, are considered “Confidential – Outside Attorneys Eyes Only” and disclosure
`
`of the confidential document or information shall be limited to each party’s outside attorney(s) of
`
`record and the employees of such outside attorney(s).
