`
`
`
`
`GREENTHREAD, LLC,
`
`
`Plaintiff,
`
`v.
`
`
`INTEL CORPORATION, DELL INC., AND
`DELL TECHNOLOGIES INC.,
`
`
`Defendants.

`
`
`GREENTHREAD’S AMENDED PRELIMINARY INFRINGEMENT CONTENTIONS
`
`Pursuant to the Court’s Standing Order Governing Proceedings (OGP) 4.1—Patent Cases,
`
`Plaintiff Greenthread, LLC (“Greenthread”), concurrent with the filing of its First Amended
`
`Complaint, hereby provides its amended preliminary infringement contentions, including
`
`identification of asserted claims, the priority date for each asserted claim, accused products, and
`
`accompanying document production. Claim charts are attached as Exhibits A-1 through A-6, B-1
`
`through B-6, C-1 through C-6, D-1, D-2, D-3, and D-6.
`
`Greenthread’s disclosures are based on publicly available materials regarding the accused
`
`infringing products of Intel Corporation (“Intel”), Dell Inc., and Dell Technologies Inc. (Dell Inc.
`
`and Dell Technologies Inc. are collectively “the Dell Defendants” or “Dell,” and Intel Corporation
`
`and the Dell Defendants are collectively “Defendants”). Greenthread does not yet have access to
`
`any of Defendants’ discovery materials that may be relevant to its infringement claims and thus
`
`relies on publicly available materials. In light of the absence of discovery and reliance on publicly
`
`available materials, Greenthread has procured limited physical testing to the extent practicable, of

`
`certain products believed to be representative of, and similar to, the accused infringing products in
`
`pertinent respects. Greenthread explicitly reserves the right to supplement or alter its disclosures
`
`herein, as a matter of right, as permitted by the Court, based on the Court’s claim constructions,
`
`based on additional information obtained through formal discovery or other means, and/or based
`
`on other circumstances.
`
`I.
`
`ASSERTED CLAIMS AND PRIORITY DATE
`
`Based on the information presently available to it, Greenthread identifies the asserted
`
`claims of each asserted patent that Greenthread alleges is infringed by Defendants, and the priority
`
`date of those claims, as set forth in the table below. Based on the information presently available
`
`to it, Greenthread alleges that all asserted claims of each particular asserted patent are entitled to
`
`the same priority date.

`
`Greenthread notes that the claims identified in the table reflect the asserted claims in this
`
`case, and the absence of a claim from the list does not imply that the claim is not infringed.

`
`II.
`
`ACCUSED PRODUCTS
`
`Based upon information presently available to it, Greenthread asserts infringement by the
`
`accused products set forth below in this section. For each accused product identified below,
`
`Greenthread’s contentions apply to the accused product and any other similar past, present, or
`
`future products, as well as systems incorporating the accused products or other products with the
`
`same or substantially similar features.
`
`
`
`Intel Accused Products
`
`As described further in Exhibits A-1 through A-6 and Exhibits B-1 through B-6 below,
`
`Intel’s CPU products and Intel’s flash memory products infringe one or more asserted claims of
`
`each of the asserted patents.

`
`Dell-Sony Accused Products
`
`
`
`Dell-Sony Accused Products include all Dell Products containing or comprising image
`
`sensors designed or manufactured (in whole or in part) by Sony Corporation, Sony Semiconductor
`
`Solutions, Sony Global Manufacturing & Operations, Sony Electronics Inc., Sony Corporation of
`
`America or their affiliates (“Sony”), that have the same or similar structures, features, or
`
`functionalities as the exemplary product shown in Exhibits D-1, D-2, D-3 and D-6, regardless of

`
`how such products are branded. As described in Exhibits D-1, D-2, D-3, and D-6, Dell-Sony
`
`Accused Products each infringe one or more claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 10,510,842 (claims 1-2,
`
`5, 7-10, 13, 15-18), 10,734,481 (claims 1-2, 4, 6-9, 13, 19-20, 22, 24, 26-27, 31, 36), 11,121,222
`
`(claims 1-2, 4, 6-9, 13, 19-21, 23, 25, 27-28, 32, 37-39, 41), 11,316,014 (claims 1-2, 4, 6-9, 13,
`
`19-21, 23, 25, 27-28). Exemplary Dell-Sony Accused Products are listed below. All images are
`

`
`
`
`Upon information and belief, Dell also incorporates further Sony image sensors into other Dell
`
`Products, such as webcams that Dell integrates into Dell laptops, desktops, and other computing
`
`devices. Greenthread reserves the right to amend its list of Dell-Sony Accused Products, including
`
`based on information learned in discovery.
`

`
`Additional Dell Accused Products
`
`Upon information and belief, the following Dell products infringe one or more asserted
`
`claims of the asserted patents through their incorporation of dynamic random access memories
`
`(DRAMs), flash memory devices (e.g., in solid-state drives) and image sensors that meet the
`
`limitations of one or more asserted claims. The identities of such DRAMs, flash memory devices,

`
`and image sensors, their specifications, and their manufacturers and/or suppliers (if other than
`
`Dell) are in the possession of the Dell Defendants and are expected to be learned over the course
`
`of this litigation, e.g., obtained through discovery. More complete information about the Accused
`
`Products is in the possession of Defendants and is expected to be obtained through discovery.
`
`Greenthread explicitly reserves the right to supplement or alter its preliminary identification of
`
`accused products, as a matter of right, as permitted by the Court, based on the Court’s claim
`
`constructions, based on additional information obtained through formal discovery or other means,
`
`and/or based on other circumstances.
`
`III. CLAIM CHARTS FOR LITERAL INFRINGEMENT
`
`Based upon information presently available to it, Greenthread’s preliminary infringement
`
`claim charts are provided as attached Exhibits A-1 through A-6, B-1 through B-6, C-1 through C-
`
`6, and D-1, D-2, D-3, and D-6. In each claim chart, the discussion for dependent claims should be
`
`read as incorporating by reference the discussion corresponding to the claims from which they
`
`depend. In addition, the discussion for each row in the chart should be read within the context of
`
`the discussion for the entire claim to which that row pertains. Where the charts incorporate
`
`excerpts of particular documents, the reference to those excerpts is exemplary and not to the
`
`exclusion of any other excerpt or version of the document or any versions of related documents.
`
`These infringement claim charts are based upon Greenthread’s investigation to date. More
`
`complete information about the Accused Products is in the possession of Defendants and is
`
`expected to be obtained through discovery. Greenthread explicitly reserves the right to supplement
`
`or alter its preliminary infringement claim charts, as a matter of right, as permitted by the Court,
`
`based on the Court’s claim constructions, based on additional information obtained through formal
`
`discovery or other means, and/or based on other circumstances.

`
`IV. DOCTRINE OF EQUIVALENTS
`
`Unless otherwise noted in the claim charts, Greenthread alleges that Defendants infringe
`
`literally all asserted claims. To the extent any differences are alleged to exist between the asserted
`
`claims and Defendants’ Accused Products, such differences are insubstantial and Defendants’
`
`Accused Products perform substantially the same function, in substantially the same way, to yield
`
`substantially the same result, and therefore Defendants infringe under the doctrine of equivalents.
`
`Greenthread explicitly reserves the right to supplement or alter its disclosure concerning
`
`the doctrine of equivalents, as a matter of right, as permitted by the Court, based on the Court’s
`
`claim constructions, based on additional information obtained through formal discovery or other
`
`means, and/or based on other circumstances. In the event that a claim limitation is deemed to be
`
`missing under a literal infringement analysis, Greenthread also reserves the right to demonstrate
`
`the presence of a substantial equivalent of such limitation and to pursue infringement under the
`
`doctrine of equivalents.
