`
`Hafeman, Exhibit 2028
`Google LLC et al. v. Hafeman
`IPR2022-01191
`
`
`
`
`
`The final infringement contentions set forth herein, including without
`
`limitation the claim charts attached hereto as Exhibits A–F, which are fully
`
`incorporated by reference herein, identify, based on publicly available information,
`
`and upon information and belief, where each element of the Asserted Claims is found
`
`within the Accused Instrumentalities and/or the manufacturing processes thereof.
`
`The documents, identification of Accused Instrumentalities, and other
`
`evidence cited in these charts are exemplary, and not intended to be exhaustive.
`
`Hafeman’s identifications in these contentions, including without limitation her
`
`identification of exemplary Accused Instrumentalities, the infringing features in the
`
`exemplary Accused Instrumentalities, and/or manufacturing processes used in the
`
`manufacture of the exemplary Accused Instrumentalities, the locations of the
`
`foregoing in the exemplary Accused Instrumentalities, and/or the theories of
`
`infringement, are based upon information known to Hafeman at the time of these
`
`contentions. Hafeman reserves the right to supplement and/or amend these
`
`infringement contentions based on information not known to Hafeman at the time of
`
`service of her infringement contentions and/or that is otherwise later discovered by
`
`Hafeman after service of her infringement contentions, including without limitation
`
`supplementation and/or amendment of Hafeman’s contentions to identify, refine,
`
`modify, amend, and/or supplement the identified Accused Instrumentalities,
`
`locations of the infringing features in the Accused Instrumentalities or their
`
`manufacturing process, and/or theories of infringement provided herein.
`
`Hafeman reserves the right to rely on additional evidence throughout
`

`
`Hafeman, Exhibit 2028
`Google LLC et al. v. Hafeman
`IPR2022-01191
`
`
`
`
`
`Hafeman as of the date of this disclosure or consistent with the evidence cited in these
`
`infringement contentions. These infringement contentions shall not limit Hafeman’s
`
`right to assert any position she deems appropriate at any later date as to
`
`infringement, validity, claim construction, or any other issue in this litigation. Nor
`
`shall they be deemed an admission or contention as to the scope or interpretation of
`
`any claim term.
`
`
`
`Hafeman contends that LG infringes claims 1, 4, and 7 (the “Asserted Claims”)
`
`of each of the following U.S. Patents (the “Asserted Patents”):
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`U.S. Patent 9,892,287 (the “’287 Patent”);
`
`U.S. Patent 10,325,122 (the “’122 Patent”); and
`
`U.S. Patent 10,789,393 (the “’393 Patent”).
`
`LG infringes the Asserted Claims of the Asserted Patents under 35 U.S.C.
`
`§ 271(a) by making, using, offering to sell, and/or selling in and/or importing into the
`
`United States computer devices that are configured to include systems that display
`
`the owner’s name and contact information on the screen before or with the lock
`
`screen, as well as provide remote access to allow the owner (or authorized third-party)
`
`to lock the device from future access and display a warning message. These devices
`
`include all LG-made Android OS cell phones, tablets, and laptops with the “Find My
`
`Device” feature, including at least the following LG Android Accused Products:

`
`These devices further include at least LG-made tablets and laptops pre-
`
`installed with Windows 10 and Windows 11, such as the following LG Windows
`
`Accused Products (together with the devices described above, the “Accused
`
`Instrumentalities”):
`
`1.
`
`2.
`
`3.
`
`4.
`
`5.
`
`LG Gram Laptop, 14Z90P Series;
`
`LG Gram Laptop, 15Z90P Series;
`
`LG Gram Laptop, 15Z90P Series;
`
`LG Ultra Laptop, 13U70P Series; and
`
`LG Ultra Laptop, 15U70P Series.
`
`These Accused Instrumentalities infringe the Asserted Claims either literally
`
`and/or under the doctrine of equivalents. Hafeman further contends that LG infringes
`
`the Asserted Patents by (i) practicing the asserted method claims of the Asserted
`
`Patents in the United States, and/or (ii) by making, using, offering to sell, and/or
`
`selling in and/or importing into the United States the Accused Instrumentalities.
`
`
`
`Hafeman further contends that LG infringes the Asserted Claims under 35
`
`U.S.C. § 271(b) by actively and knowingly inducing, directing, causing, and
`
`encouraging others, including without limitation their designers, manufacturers,
`
`suppliers, distributors, resellers, software developers, customers, end users,
`
`subscribers, and repair providers, to infringe the Asserted Patents by making, using,
`
`10700789v1/017216
`
`5
`
`Hafeman, Exhibit 2028
`Google LLC et al. v. Hafeman
`IPR2022-01191
`
`
`
`
`
`selling, and/or offering to sell in the United States and/or importing into the United
`
`States, the Accused Instrumentalities set forth above. Hafeman contends that LG
`
`actively and knowingly induces infringement by others by, inter alia, providing the
`
`aforementioned direct infringers with (i) infringing functionality and/or devices;
`
`(ii) manuals and guides, technical documentation, technical support and assistance,
`
`advertisements and marketing; and/or (iii) software and/or firmware updates.
`
`LG contributes to infringement of the Asserted Patents under 35 U.S.C.
`
`§ 271(c) by providing the Accused Instrumentalities within the United States,
`
`knowing that the products practice the claimed invention, that they are especially
`
`made or adapted for use in infringing the Asserted Patents, and that they are not
`
`staple articles or commodities of commerce capable of substantial non-infringing use.
`
`LG’s infringement is further detailed in the First Amended Complaint (Dkt. 35),
`
`which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
`
`Hafeman reserves the right to supplement her position as to infringement
`
`following further discovery and/or claim construction, including new information or
`
`knowledge regarding the structure, function, operation, implementation, and process
`
`of manufacturing the Accused Instrumentalities.
`
`These contentions are based on Hafeman’s research and investigation to date
`
`and materials in the public domain, and the limited discovery provided by LG.
`
`Hafeman reserves the right to supplement and/or amend these contentions in light of
`
`discovery, invalidity contentions, alleged prior art, claim construction, and/or any
`
`other additional information provided by LG.
