`
`infringing elements in the defendant’s products.

`
`AGIS 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 patents-
`
`in-suit within Apple Accused Products are attached hereto as Exhibits A–D. AGIS believes that
`
`
`
`1 Until discovery provides the necessary information, references to iCloud services and/or servers
`
`refer to Apple’s iCloud and iTunes services and/or servers, in addition to any additional relevant
`
`sign-on, identification, and/or authentication services and/or servers which may be employed for
`
`the purposes of achieving the methods of the Asserted Claims and/or providing the systems of the
`
`Asserted Claims.

`
`

`

`
`
`the citations in the claim charts are representative of all Accused Products. For example, where
`
`AGIS cites reference material or images representing an iPhone device, that citation is
`
`representative for all other such iPhones, iPods, iPads, Apple Watches or other iOS devices or
`
`watchOS devices including all prior and future versions unless otherwise noted. AGIS reserves
`
`the right to amend these claim charts 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, information that is not publically available or readily discernible
`
`without discovery. AGIS 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
`
`AGIS asserts that, under the proper construction of the asserted claims and their claim
`
`terms, the limitations of the asserted claims of the patents-in-suit are literally present in the
`
`accused infotainment systems as set forth in the claim charts attached hereto as Exhibits A–D.
`
`AGIS 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.
`
`AGIS also contends that Apple 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., Apple’s customers or its
`
`customers’ customers) to directly infringe those claims by making, using, offering for sale or
`
`selling the Apple Accused Products.

`

`
`
`Pursuant to Patent Local Rule 3-6(a)(1), Apple 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
`
`Under P.R. 3-1(e), each of the asserted claims of the patents-in-suit are entitled to a
`
`priority date of at least as early as September 21, 2004. AGIS 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.
`
`AGIS’S OWN PRODUCTS
`
`At the present time, AGIS does not intend to rely on the assertion that its own apparatuses,
`
`products, devices, processes, methods, acts, or other instrumentalities practice the claimed
`
`inventions. AGIS reserves the right to amend this statement to identify covered products as
`
`discovery progresses.
`
`II.
`
`PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS PURSUANT TO PATENT LOCAL RULE 3-2
`
`AGIS is producing or making available for inspection documents that are in AGIS’S
`
`possession, custody or control as set forth in Patent Local Rule 3-2. An AGIS 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. AGIS is continuing with its investigation, particularly with
`
`respect to ESI. Thus, AGIS reserves its right to add to, delete from, or otherwise modify its
`
`disclosures in this section as its investigation proceeds.
