IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
`FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS
`WACO DIVISION
`
`MULLEN INDUSTRIES LLC,
`
`Plaintiff,
`v.
`
`APPLE INC.,
` Defendant.
`
`Case No. 6:22-cv-00145-ADA
`
`JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
`
`PLAINTIFF’S PRELIMINARY INFRINGEMENT CONTENTIONS
`
`Pursuant to the Court’s Standing Order Governing Proceedings—Patent Cases, Plaintiff
`
`Mullen Industries LLC serves its preliminary infringement contentions in the form of charts,
`
`attached hereto, setting forth where in the accused products and services each element of each
`
`asserted claim is found. Plaintiff identifies that for each asserted claim of each of U.S. Patent Nos.
`
`11,246,024; 11,234,117; 11,122,418; 11,109,218; 11,096,039; 9,635,540; 9,204,283; and
`
`8,374,575, the priority date is March 25, 2002, corresponding to the filing date of U.S. Provisional
`
`Patent Application No. 60/367,967. Plaintiff identifies that for each asserted claim of U.S. Patent
`
`No. 11,190,633, the priority date is March 14, 2003, corresponding to the filing date of U.S.
`
`Provisional Patent Application No. 60/455,218. A copy of the file history for each patent-in-suit
`
`is produced herewith. Collectively, the asserted patents are referred to as the “Patents-in-Suit.”
`
`Apple directly and literally infringes each asserted claim of the Patents-in-Suit. On
`
`information and belief, Apple also induces its third-party manufacturer, Flex Ltd., located in this
`
`District to directly infringe asserted claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 11,234,117 and 11,122,418 by
`
`actively encouraging such third-party manufacturer to make infringing Mac Pro computers in this
`
`District. As set forth in Plaintiff’s First Amended Complaint (e.g., ¶¶ 9-27), Apple knew that the
`
`Petitioner Apple, Inc.
`Exhibit 1031 - Page 1 of 882
`
`

`

`acts it induced its third-party manufacturer to undertake constituted infringement of the ’117 and
`
`’418 Patents, or alternatively, Apple was willfully blind to such infringement.
`
`At present, Apple has provided no discovery, including regarding (i) the accused products
`
`and services, (ii) Apple’s manufacturer of accused products in this District, (iii) the performance
`
`by such manufacturer and/or another entity of the accused processes (e.g., through testing) in this
`
`District and/or elsewhere in the United States, (iv) Apple’s knowledge of the Patents-in-Suit, and
`
`(v) Apple’s knowledge of its infringement of the Patents-in-Suit. As such, these preliminary
`
`infringement contentions are based on the information that is known and publicly available to
`
`Plaintiff at this time. Plaintiff reserves the right to supplement, amend, and/or modify these
`
`contentions based on additional information obtained through discovery, Markman proceedings,
`
`Defendant’s arguments in this case including as to claim construction and/or alleged
`
`noninfringement, or otherwise. For example, to the extent Apple argues that it does not directly
`
`and/or literally practice any claim element, Plaintiff reserves the right to demonstrate with the
`
`benefit of discovery (e.g., discovery of Apple’s source code for the accused products and server
`
`system) indirect infringement and/or infringement under the doctrine of equivalents. Plaintiff also
`
`reserves the right to amend its contentions based on a change in circumstances, expert discovery,
`
`any rulings of the Court, and any other case or proceedings, if any. In addition, Plaintiff reserves
`
`the right to rely upon, at trial or otherwise, any evidence or information from any source hereinafter
`
`discovered or obtained.
`
`In the accompanying claim charts, representative Apple device model numbers are shown.
`
`For avoidance of doubt, the accused products also include all Apple Mac computers, iPhones,
`
`iPads, iPod touch devices, and Watches released by Apple subsequent to the model numbers

`
`For example, Apple’s iCloud server system changes, at the direction of each Apple iPhone, Apple iPad,

`telephone (iPhone, iPad, Watch, or iPod touch device).
`
`Each Apple iPhone, Apple iPad, Apple Watch, and Apple iPod touch device programmed with Apple Find
