`WESTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS
`WACO DIVISION
`
`PARKERVISION, INC.,
`
` Plaintiff,
`
` v.
`
`INTEL CORPORATION,
`
` Defendant.
`
`Case No. 6:20-cv-00108
`
`JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
`
`PARKERVISION, INC.’S DISCLOSURE OF
`PRELIMINARY INFRINGEMENT CONTENTIONS
`
`Pursuant
`
`to
`
`the Court’s Scheduling Order, Plaintiff ParkerVision, Inc.
`
`(“ParkerVision”) hereby makes the following disclosure of asserted claims, infringement
`
`contentions, and document production to Defendant Intel Corporation (“Intel”).
`
`These infringement contentions (“ICs”) are based on ParkerVision’s current
`
`interpretation of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,266,518 (the “’518 patent”); 6,580,902 (the “’902
`
`patent”); 7,110,444 (the “’444 patent”); 7,539,474 (the “’474 patent”); 8,588,725 (the “’725
`
`patent”); 8,660,513 (the “’513 patent”); 9,118,528 (the “’528 patent”); 9,246,736 (the “’736
`
`patent”); and 9,444,673 (the “’673 patent”) (collectively, the “patents-in-suit”),
`
`teardowns, circuit extractions, and public information describing Intel’s products.
`
`Pursuant to the Scheduling Order, ParkerVision reserves the right to amend its ICs and
`
`the asserted claims based on claim construction proceedings and this Court’s claim
`
`construction rulings or rulings by other courts in related cases, information obtained
`
`INTEL 1018
`
`
`
`
`
`through discovery and/or otherwise as this case progresses. ParkerVision reserves the
`
`right to amend its infringement contentions and asserted claims based on any
`
`proceedings before the United States Patent and Trademark Office in connection with
`
`ParkerVision’s patents.
`
`A.
`
`Identification of infringed claims.
`
`The asserted claims of the patents-in-suit include those claims identified in the
`
`attached claim charts. ParkerVision identified these asserted claims based on its current
`
`and preliminary understanding and reserves the right to supplement its identification of
`
`infringed claims as discovery proceeds, including identifying additional claims.
`
`ParkerVision accuses Intel of directly infringing the following claims of the
`
`patents-in-suit:
`
`(cid:120) At a minimum, claims 50 and 67 of the ‘518 patent.
`
`(cid:120) At a minimum, claims 1, 2, 4, and 5 of the ‘902 patent.
`
`(cid:120) At a minimum, claims 2-5 of the ‘444 patent.
`
`(cid:120) At a minimum, claims 1, 6, 10, and 11 of the ‘474 patent.
`
`(cid:120) At a minimum, claims 1, 6, 7, 13, 14, and 16-19 of the ‘725 patent.
`
`(cid:120) At a minimum, claims 19, 24, 27, and 28 of the ‘513 patent.
`
`(cid:120) At a minimum, claims 1, 5, 9, 14, 15, and 17 of the ‘528 patent.
`
`(cid:120) At a minimum, claims 1, 11, 15, 19, 21, 26, and 27 of the ‘736 patent.
`
`(cid:120) At a minimum, claims 1, 2, 5-7, 13, and 16 – 19 of the ‘673 patent.
`
`Intel directly infringes one or more claims of the asserted patents by making,
`
`using, offering for sale, selling, and/or importing in or into the United States products
`
`2
`
`
`
`
`
`covered (either literally or under the doctrine of equivalents) one or more claims of the
`
`patents-in-suit (including, but not limited to, the Intel products identified in the attached
`
`claim charts).
`
`B.
`
`Identification of accused instrumentalities.
`
`ParkerVision identifies the accused instrumentalities based on its preliminary
`
`understanding of information currently available to ParkerVision. This preliminary
`
`understanding is obtained at least through ParkerVision’s independent investigation of
`
`Intel’s transceivers, examination of teardowns and circuit extractions, and review of
`
`relevant literature and manuals.
`
`ParkerVision reserves the right to supplement its infringement contentions as
`
`discovery proceeds and Intel produces documents/information that are either required
`
`under the Court’s local rules or responsive to ParkerVision’s discovery requests,
`
`including identifying additional accused instrumentalities, which have features similar
`
`to the products set forth below. In due course, after receiving discovery of products made,
`
`used, sold, offered for sale and/or imported by Intel in the United States, ParkerVision
`
`will supplement these IC’s as applicable.
`
`In addition to the Intel products specifically charted in Exhibits 1-27, the accused
`
`instrumentalities include Intel products that operate and/or are structurally the same as
`
`the products identified in the attached claim charts. Intel products that operate and/or
`
`are structurally the same as the products in the attached claim charts infringe for the same
`
`reasons as those charted products.
`
`The accused instrumentalities also include Intel products that are considered sold
`
`
`
`3
`
`
`
`
`
`in the United States according to the Federal Circuit’s decision in Carnegie Mellon Univ. v.
`
`Marvell Tech. Group. Ltd., No. 2014-1492 (Aug. 4. 2015).
`
`Subject to the foregoing and based on the information currently available,
`
`ParkerVision identifies the following accused instrumentalities, including all reasonably
`
`similar variants or improvements, as the accused instrumentalities. Specifically,
`
`ParkerVision identifies that the manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale, and/or importation
`
`in or into the United States by Intel of products including or embodying the following
`
`Intel products directly infringe each of the asserted claims of the patents-in-suit:
`
`(cid:120)
`
`(cid:120)
`
`(cid:120)
`
`Intel PMB5750 transceiver;
`
`Intel PMB5757 transceiver; and
`
`Intel PMB5762 transceiver.
`
`C.
`
`Chart identifying accused instrumentalities.
`
`ParkerVision provides the attached claim charts (attached as Exhibits 1-27), which
`
`identify where to find each element of each asserted claim within the accused
`
`instrumentalities. Pursuant to the Court’s Scheduling Order, these claim charts provide
`
`Intel with the requisite notice by identifying instrumentalities that incorporate or reflect
`
`the recited claim elements. As such, these charts serve a notice function, and they do not
`
`present every possible permutation or theory of ParkerVision’s case.
`
`The claim charts are not intended to be an expert report on infringement or
`
`provide detailed analysis of the claim terms or infringement. ParkerVision will disclose
`
`and produce an expert report regarding infringement with appropriate analysis pursuant
`
`to the Court’s Scheduling Order. These charts include evidence of infringement by Intel,
`
`
`
`4
`
`
`
`
`
`including diagrams, teardowns, circuit extractions, and images of the accused products,
`
`and other publicly available documentary evidence by way of example and not by way
`
`of limitation.
`
`The asserted claims include elements that are implemented, at least in part, by
`
`Intel confidential information. In some instances, the information used in them are, at
`
`least in part, not publicly available. An analysis of Intel’s (or other third parties’) technical
`
`information may be necessary to more fully identify all infringing features and
`
`functionality. Accordingly, pursuant to the Court’s Scheduling Order, ParkerVision
`
`reserves the right to supplement these charts once such information is made available to
`
`ParkerVision.
`
`Furthermore, ParkerVision reserves the right to revise these charts, as appropriate,
`
`upon issuance of the Court’s claim construction Order, including the identification of
`
`whether any such differences between the accused instrumentalities and the claims are
`
`insubstantial and whether the accused instrumentalities read on the claim elements
`
`under the doctrine of equivalents.
`
`D.
`
`Literal infringement and infringement under the doctrine of equivalents.
`
`ParkerVision presently contends that the accused instrumentalities literally
`
`infringe the above-asserted claims of the patents-in-suit as more specifically explained in
`
`the attached claim charts. Further, ParkerVision asserts infringement under the doctrine
`
`of equivalents, to the extent that the difference between any component of any product
`
`and any claim element is insubstantial. In other words, to the extent literal infringement
`
`is purportedly absent, Intel products identified in the attached claim charts perform
`
`
`
`5
`
`
`
`
`
`substantially the same function of the invention recited in the claims, in substantially the
`
`same way to achieve substantially the same result. ParkerVision reserves the right to add
`
`allegations of infringement under the doctrine of equivalents or amend its doctrine of
`
`equivalents allegations to change in response to discovery, Intel’s claim construction and
`
`non-infringement positions, claim construction proceedings, this Court’s claim
`
`construction rulings, rulings by other courts in related cases or any proceedings before
`
`the United States Patent and Trademark Office regarding ParkerVision’s patents.
`
`E.

`The priority dates to which the asserted claims of the ParkerVision patents are
`
`entitled, respectively, as reflected on the face of each of the ParkerVision patents, are
`
