`A.
`
`BillJCo HasNot Sufficiently Pleaded Pre-Suit Willful Infringement
`
`To state a claim for willful infringement, a plaintiff must allege facts plausibly showing
`
`that the accused infringer: “(1) knew of the patent-in-suit; (2) after acquiring that knowledge,it
`
`infringed the patent; and (3) in doing so, it knew, or should have known,that its conduct amounted
`
`to infringement of the patent.” Parity, 2019 WL 3940952, at *3. Apple challenges BillJCo’s
`
`compliance with the first and third elements in the pre-suit context, succeeding to varying degrees.
`
`1. Knowledge of the Patents
`
`The Complaint recites two allegations to establish Apple’s pre-suit knowledge; Apple
`
`challengesthe sufficiency ofboth. ECF No.16 at 2. First, the Complaint alleges that Apple should
`
`an Apple patent application, U.S. Patent Application No. 13/373,966. See ECF No. 16 at 2. Apple
`
`asserts that “citation of [a] patent in a patent application is an insufficient notice of infringement
`
`and would not allow Apple to have knowledgeof a specific infringement claim.” Jd. at 2—3 (citing
`
`U.S. Philips Corp. v. Iwasaki Elec. Co., 505 F.3d 1371, 1375 (Fed. Cir. 2007)). Second, the
`
`Complaint alleges that Apple has been aware ofits infringement of the Asserted Patents since it
`
`received a letter from BillJCo on June 5, 2019 (the “June 2019 Letter’). See ECF No.16 at 3.
`
`Apple arguesthat this is inaccurate on its face because one of the Asserted Patents, U.S. Patent
`
`No. 10,477,994 (the “’994 patent’’), did not issue until November 19, 2019. ECF No.16 at 3-4.
`
`BillJCo adequately alleges Apple’s pre-suit knowledge of all the patents but the 994
`
`patent. The Complaint alleges that Apple learned of the Asserted Patents by June 5, 2019, upon

`
`For the foregoing reasons, BillJCo has adequately alleged that Apple learned of the
`
`Asserted Patents (excepting the 994 patent) before BillJCo filed its Complaint. Apple does not
`
`the Asserted Patents (excepting the ’994 patent). ECF No. 1 4 44. The Court is therefore satisfied
`
`that BillJCo sufficiently alleges the first two Parity factors for all Asserted Patents but the ’994
`
`challenge the Complaint’s allegations that it continued its accused conduct even after learning of

`patent.
`
`2. Knowledge of Infringement
`
`Allegations regarding the June 2019 Letter do not satisfy the third Parity element in the
`
`pre-suit context. Apple asserts that the Complaintrecites no factual allegations showing that Apple
`
`“knew, or should have known,that its conduct amountto infringementof the patent.” ECF No. 16
`
`at 2-3. In response, BillJCo cites its Complaint as stating that “BillJCo sent Apple a letter on June
`
`5, 2019 regarding the Patents-in-Suit.” ECF No. 23 at 3 (citing ECF No. 1 4 38). BillJCo argues
`
`that, in other cases, “this Court found that the question of whether a notice letter was sufficient to
`
`put a defendant on notice of infringementis a ‘proof? issue that cannot be resolved at the pleading
`
`stage.” ECF No. 23 at 5 (first citing Parity, 2019 WL 3940952, at *3; and then citing FHE USA
`
`LICv. Lee Specialties Inc., No. 5:18-CV-715-OLG, 2018 WL 11347193, at *3 (W.D. Tex. Nov.
`
`27, 2018)).
`
`Yet the opinions upon which BillJCo relies were drafted in view of the relevant notice
`
`letters; that is not true here. As Apple notes, this Court’s review of the letters-at-issue influenced
`
`the Parity decision. Parity, 2019 WL 3940952, at *3 (“The Court has reviewed this
`
`correspondence.”). Likewise, in FHE, the Court had the relevant notice letter before it. See Exhibit
`
`E to Motion to Dismiss, FHE USA LLCv. Lee Specialties Inc., No. 5:18-CV-715-OLG, ECF No.
`
`13-1 (W.D. Tex. July 25, 2018). The FHE court then concluded that the letter notified the
`
`defendantof the asserted patent and “the potential for infringement by”a specific accused product.
