`DEFENDANTS’ CORRECTED PRELIMINARY INVALIDITY CONTENTIONS
`
`I.
`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`Pursuant to the January 17, 2020 Scheduling Order (D.I. 85), Defendants Apple Inc.
`
`(“Apple”); Google LLC (“Google”); LG Electronics, Inc., LG Electronics USA, Inc. (“LG
`
`Defendants”); Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., Samsung Electronics America, Inc. (“Samsung
`
`Defendants”); and Amazon.Com, Inc. (“Amazon”) (collectively, “Defendants”) provide these
`
`Preliminary Invalidity Contentions to Plaintiff Parus Holdings Inc. (“Parus”) for the following
`
`patents (collectively, “Asserted Patents”) and claims (collectively, “Asserted Claims”) identified
`
`as asserted in Parus’s Preliminary Infringement Contentions and Disclosure of Priority Dates and
`
`
`
`2
`
`Parus Exhibit 2011, Page 2 of 62
`
`
`
`Dates of Conception/Reduction to Practice served on December 11, 2019 (“Infringement
`
`Contentions”):
`
`• U.S. Patent No. 7,076,431 (“’431 Patent”) — Claims 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 13, 14
`(“’431 Asserted Claims”)
`
`• U.S. Patent No. 9,451,084 (“’084 Patent”) — Claims 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 14 (“’084
`Asserted Claims”)1
`
`Defendants address the invalidity of the Asserted Claims and conclude with a description
`
`of their document productions and identification of additional reservations and explanations.
`
`These Preliminary Invalidity Contentions use the acronym “POSITA” to refer to a person having
`
`ordinary skill in the art to which the claimed inventions pertain. Although the Court
`
`consolidated the related cases filed by Parus, each Defendant is entitled to its own trial and
`
`nothing in these contentions limits any particular Defendant’s right to select defenses for trial.
`
`II.
`
`PRIORITY DATE OF THE ASSERTED PATENTS AND CLAIMS
`
`Parus asserts the following priority dates for all Asserted Claims in its December 11,
`
`2019 Infringement Contentions:
`
`• Priority Date: October 13, 1998
`
`• Conception: October 13, 1998
`
`• Actual Reduction to Practice: January 16, 2000
`
`• Constructive Reduction to Practice: February 4, 2000
`
`It is Parus’s burden to show entitlement to its asserted priority dates, and Defendants
`
`assert that Parus has failed to meet that burden. The documents produced by Parus in support of
`
`its alleged conception and actual reduction to practice dates (PARUS_00000001-8645) do not
`
`show that the named inventors of the Asserted Patents conceived the Asserted Claims on or after
`
`
`1 The Asserted Patents are governed by the pre-AIA statutory framework as the applications were filed before March
`16, 2013.
`
`
`
`3
`
`Parus Exhibit 2011, Page 3 of 62
`
`
`
`October 13, 1998, do not show that the named inventors of the Asserted Patents were diligent in
`
`reducing to practice their alleged inventions, and do not show that the alleged inventions were
`
`actually reduced to practice on or after January 16, 2000. In addition, provisional application
`
`No. 60/180,344, filed February 4, 2000, on which Parus appears to rely to support its alleged
`
`constructive reduction to practice, fails to disclose all elements of the Asserted Claims.
`
`Similarly, provisional application No. 60/233,068, filed September 15, 2000, fails to disclose all
`
`elements of the Asserted Claims. Finally, as described below, elements of the Asserted Claims
`
`lack written description and enablement support, and those Asserted Claims therefore cannot
`
`claim priority to earlier continuation applications on the face of the Asserted Patents. For
`
`purposes of these Preliminary Invalidity Contentions, Defendants identify art that qualifies as
`
`prior art under 35 U.S.C. § 102 (pre-AIA) on or before February 4, 2000, the filing date of the
`
`earliest allegedly related provisional application to the Asserted Patents.
`
`III.
`
`INVALIDITY UNDER 35 U.S.C. § 101
`
`To be patentable subject matter under § 101, a claim must be directed to one of four
`
`eligible subject matter categories: “new and useful process, machine, manufacture, or
`
`composition of matter.” 35 U.S.C. § 101. “Claims that fall within one of the four subject matter
`
`categories may nevertheless be ineligible if they encompass laws of nature, physical phenomena,
`
`or abstract ideas.” Diamond v. Chakrabarty, 447 U.S. 303, 309 (1980). The Supreme Court
`
`established a two-step test for deciding the subject matter eligibility of claims under § 101. Alice
`
`Corp. Pty. Ltd. v. CLS Bank Int’l, 134 S. Ct. 2347, 2355 (2014). First, the claims must be
`
`analyzed to determine whether they are drawn to one of the statutory exceptions. Id. Claims that
`
`invoke generic computer components instead of reciting specific improvements in computer
`
`capabilities are abstract under this first step. See Enfish, LLC v. Microsoft Corp., 822 F.3d 1327,
`
`1335-36 (Fed. Cir. 2016). Second, the elements of the claims must be viewed both individually
`
`
`
`4
`
`Parus Exhibit 2011, Page 4 of 62
`
`
`
`and as an ordered combination to see if there is an “inventive concept.” Id. The mere fact that a
`
`claim recites or implies that an abstract idea is implemented using a general-purpose computer
`
`does not supply an inventive concept necessary to satisfy § 101. See Elec. Power Grp., LLC v.
`
`Alstom S.A., 830 F.3d 1350, 1355 (Fed. Cir. 2016); Alice, 134 S. Ct. at 2357-59.
`
`All of the Asserted Claims are directed to ineligible subject matter under 35 U.S.C. § 101
`
`and applicable case law authority.2 Pursuant to the Court’s guidance, Defendants will present
`
`any § 101 motions after claim construction.
`
`IV.

`
`Prior Art References
`
`A.
