`
`MemoryWeb’s investigation is ongoing and the contentions set forth herein are based on
`
`the information available to MemoryWeb as of the date of these contentions. MemoryWeb
`
`reserves the right to supplement or amend this disclosure after receiving discovery from Apple, or
`
`other third parties, particularly documents and other discovery regarding Apple’s accused products
`
`(e.g., source code) and as additional information becomes available.
`
`I.

`
`4
`
`Petitioner Apple Inc. - Ex. 1027, p. 4
`
`
`
`herein as the “Accused Apple Products.” Unless otherwise specified, all references to the Accused
`
`Products refer to all versions of such products that were made, used, offered for sale, and/or sold
`
`in the United States, or imported into the United States, during the term of each of the Asserted
`
`Patents. MemoryWeb reserves the right to amend this identification of accused products, as well
`
`as other information contained herein, to incorporate new information as in becomes available
`
`under the course of discovery.
`
`IV.
`
`Claim Charts
`
`Claim charts identifying a location of each and every element of every asserted claim of
`
`the Asserted Patents in the Accused Apple Products are attached hereto as Exhibits A1-A3, B1-
`
`B3, C1-C3, and D1-D3. These claim chart illustrate Apple’s infringement using iOS 14, iPadOS
`
`14, and macOS 11. MemoryWeb contends that there are no material differences between the
`
`Photos application in iOS 14, iPadOS 14, and macOS 11 and other versions of the Apple iOS
`
`Software, the Apple iPadOS Software, the macOS 11 Software, respectively. MemoryWeb
`
`reserves the right to amend these charts, as well as other information contained in these disclosures
`
`and contentions, to incorporate new information learned during the course of discovery.
`
`MemoryWeb also reserves the right to amend its claim charts, as well as other information
`
`contained in these disclosures and contentions, upon the Court’s issuance of a claim construction
`
`order.
`
`V.
`
`Literal Infringement and Doctrine of Equivalents
`
`Under the proper construction of the asserted claims, the limitations of each asserted claim
`
`in the Asserted Patents are satisfied literally in the Accused Apple Products. However, to the
`
`extent that any claim limitation or element is found not be literally embodied or practiced by the
`
`Accused Apple Products, MemoryWeb contends that the Accused Apple Products embody or
`
`5
`
`Petitioner Apple Inc. - Ex. 1027, p. 5
`
`
`
`practice such claim limitations or elements under the doctrine of equivalents because there are no
`
`substantial differences, and the Accused Apple Products perform substantially the same function,
`
`in substantially the same way, to achieve substantially the same result.
`
`VI.
`
`Direct Infringement
`
`Apple (including Apple’s employees) and Apple’s customers (including end users of the
`
`products described above) using the Accused Apple Products have directly infringed, and continue
`
`to directly infringe, the Asserted Claims as set forth in the attached claim charts. This infringement
`
`has occurred, either literally or under the doctrine of equivalents, by making, using, selling, and/or
`
`offering for sale in the United States, and/or importing into the United States without authority,
`
`the Accused Apple Products.
`
`To the extent Apple contends that it or the Accused Apple Products do not perform each
`
`and every step of the Asserted Claims, Apple directs or controls the performance by others of each
`
`claim limitation that it does not perform itself, such that the performance of each claim limitation
`
`can be attributed to Apple.
`
`VII.
`
`Induced and Contributory Infringement
`
`Apple has induced and continues to induce infringement of the Asserted Claims literally
`
`or under the doctrine of equivalents by making, selling, offering to sell, and/or importing the
`
`Accused Products to or for its customers (including end users), and providing such customers
`
`(including end users) with instructions and training on how to use the Accused Products in a
`
`manner that directly infringes the claims, all while Apple has knowledge of the Asserted Patents
`
`and Asserted Claims, and knowledge that such use of the Accused Products would infringe the
`
`Asserted Claims. Apple acts with knowledge and specific intent to encourage and facilitate such
`
`infringing acts by its customers. Apple’s technical and marketing documentation for the Accused
`
`6
`
`Petitioner Apple Inc. - Ex. 1027, p. 6
`
`
`
`Apple Products provides specific instruction for using, and actively encourages its customers to
`
`use, the Accused Apple Products in an infringing manner. See, e.g., MW_Apple_003187;
`
`MW_Apple_003189; MW_Apple_003191; MW_Apple_003194; MW_Apple_003195;
`
`MW_Apple_003197; MW_Apple_003202; MW_Apple_003204; MW_Apple_003207;
`
`MW_Apple_003208; MW_Apple_003210.
`
`Apple has and continues to contributorily infringe the Asserted Claims by using, offering
`
`to sell, selling, or importing the Accused Products. The Accused Products in operation form a
`
`component of a machine, manufacture, combination, or composition, constituting a material part
`
`of the invention for each of the Asserted Patents. Apple knows that the Accused Products are
`
`especially made or adapted for use in an infringement of the Asserted Claims, and that the Accused
`
`Products are not a staple article or other system capable of substantial non-infringing use.

`
`The following chart identifies a location of each and every element of every asserted claim of U.S. Patent No. 9,552,376 (“the
`‘376 patent”) in Apple iOS (including the Photos and/or Files applications). The exemplary screenshots below were taken using an
`Apple iPhone 7 running iOS 14.7.1. While various views with one or more photographs are shown for exemplary purposes below, it
`should be understood that each view can include more or less photographs, and/or videos. Additionally, while one or more
`photographs or videos are shown at various locations for exemplary purposes, it should be understood that each location can include
`more or less associated photographs and/or videos.
`
`APPLE’S INFRINGEMENT
`
`To the extent the preamble is limiting, iOS performs a computer-implemented method of displaying digital
`files, as set forth below.
`
`iOS stores, on one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media, a plurality of digital files.

`
`The following chart identifies a location of each and every element of every asserted claim of U.S. Patent No. 9,552,376 (“the
`‘376 patent”) in Apple iPadOS (including the Photos and/or Files applications). The exemplary screenshots below were taken using an
`Apple iPad mini (5th Generation) running iPadOS 14.6 (“iPadOS 14”). While various views with one or more photographs are shown
`for exemplary purposes below, it should be understood that each view can include more or less photographs, and/or videos.
`Additionally, while one or more photographs or videos are shown at various locations for exemplary purposes, it should be understood
`that each location can include more or less associated photographs and/or videos.
`
