`
`2.
`
`Claim Charts
`
`Claim charts identifying a location of every element of every asserted claim of the
`
`Multimodal Patents within the Accused Products are attached hereto as Appendices A-D.
`
`Multimodal believes that the Accused Products cited in the claim charts are representative of all
`
`versions of the Accused Products.
`
`Multimodal reserves the right to amend these claim charts, as well as other information
`
`contained in this document and the Appendices attached hereto, to incorporate new information
`
`identified after these contentions were served or learned during the course of discovery including,
`
`but not limited to, information that is not publicly available or readily discernible without
`
`discovery. Multimodal further reserves the right to amend these claim charts, as well as other
`
`information contained in this document and the Appendices attached hereto, pursuant to Patent
`
`Local Rules 3-1(g) and 3-6.
`
`C.
`
`LITERAL INFRINGEMENT AND DOCTRINE OF
`EQUIVALENTS
`
`Multimodal asserts that, under the proper construction of the asserted claims and their
`
`claim terms, the limitations of the asserted claims of the Multimodal Patents are literally present
`
`in the Accused Products as set forth in the claim charts attached hereto as Appendices A–D.
`
`Multimodal contends that any and all elements found not to be literally infringed are infringed
`
`4
`
`Petitioner Exhibit 1023, Page 4 of 172
`
`

`

`under the doctrine of equivalents because the differences between the claimed inventions and the
`
`Accused Products, if any, are insubstantial. Multimodal contends that Defendants have directly
`
`infringed, and/or continues to directly infringe the asserted claims by making, using, offering for
`
`sale, selling, and importing into the United States the Accused Products. Multimodal also contends
`
`that Defendants indirectly infringe by contributing to and/or inducing others (e.g., Defendants’
`
`network operators, server operators, Samsung’s customers, and end-users) to directly infringe
`
`those claims by making or using the Accused Products. In addition, Multimodal contends that
`
`Defendants directly infringe to the extent that activities of third parties may be legally attributable
`
`to Defendants. Multimodal contends that Defendants induce infringement of the Multimodal
`
`Patents by others (e.g., end-users of the Accused Products and Defendants’ customers) by inducing
`
`others to make or use the Accused Products with the knowledge that this making or using directly
`
`infringes the Multimodal Patents or, in the alternative, with the belief that there was a high
`
`probability that others infringe the Multimodal Patents, but while remaining willfully blind to the
`
`infringement.
`
`Pursuant to Patent Local Rule 3-6(a)(1), Multimodal reserves the right to amend its
`
`Infringement Contentions as to literal infringement or infringement under the doctrine of
`
`equivalents, e.g., in light of the Court’s claim construction.
`
`D.
`
`PRIORITY DATES
`
`Each of the asserted claims of the ’949 patent has a priority date (i.e., earliest invention
`
`date) at least as early as February 3, 2009, with diligent reduction to practice at least through its
`
`February 3, 2009 filing date.
`
`Each of the asserted claims of the ’978 patent has a priority date (i.e., earliest invention
`
`date) at least as early as April 25, 2007, with diligent reduction to practice at least through its
`
`5
`
`Petitioner Exhibit 1023, Page 5 of 172
`
`

`

`March 27, 2008 filing date. Each claim further is entitled to the priority date of its earliest
`
`application, Indian Patent Application No. 871/CHE/2007, with a filing date of April 25, 2007.
`
`Each of the asserted claims of the ’227 patent has a priority date (i.e., earliest invention
`
`date) at least early as April 22, 2012 (see produced inventor emails), with diligent reduction to
`
`practice at least through its December 12, 2013 filing date. Each claim further is entitled to a
`
`priority date no later than its earliest application, U.S. Provisional Patent Application No.
`
`61/737,274, with a filing date of December 14, 2012.
`
`Each of the asserted claims of the ’030 patent has a priority date (i.e., earliest invention
`
`date) at least as early as October 15, 2012, with diligent reduction to practice at least through its
`
`October 11, 2013 filing date. Each claim further is entitled to the priority date of its earliest
`
`application, U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/713,635, with a filing date of October 15,
`
`2012.
`
`Multimodal makes this disclosure without prejudice to its right to prove an earlier date of
`
`invention.

`Appendix A - Claim Chart for US Patent No. 7,929,949 Against Accused Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G
`
`In these Infringement Contentions, Multimodal Media LLC (“Multimodal”) contends that at least the following claims of U.S. Patent No.
`7,929,949 (“’949 patent”) identified below are infringed by Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. and Samsung Electronics America, Inc. (“Defendants” or
`“Samsung”) devices. Multimodal does not concede that any claims of the ’949 patent that are not listed below are not infringed by the identified
`products. Moreover, the citations to certain documents and other information below are intended to be exemplary only and in no way foreclose
`Multimodal from citing or relying on additional documents, information, source code, and/or testimony at a later time. These contentions are
`preliminary in nature, and an analysis of Samsung's products, internal documentation, source code, and/or testimony from relevant witnesses may
`more fully and accurately describe the infringing features of its accused products. Accordingly, Multimodal reserves the right to supplement, correct,
`modify, and/or amend these contentions once such additional information is made available to Multimodal. Furthermore, Multimodal reserves the
`right to supplement, correct, modify, and/or amend these contentions: as discovery in this case progresses; in view of the Court’s claim construction
`order(s); in view of any positions taken by Defendants, including but not limited to positions on claim construction, invalidity, and/or non-
`infringement; and in connection with the preparation and exchange of expert reports.
`
`Representativeness: The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G phone depicted in this chart is believed to be representative of other Samsung
`mobile devices that operate on the Android OS v.10 or later, including the Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10+, Galaxy A50, Galaxy A51, Galaxy S9,

`“Accused Products”). Based on publicly available information, Multimodal believes that the Samsung Galaxy S21 depicted herein and other
`Samsung mobile phones that operate on the Android OS share substantially the same structure and functionality with respect to the components

`
`which are relevant to infringement. Should discove1y yield documents or info1mation demonstrating that Defendants sell other infringing devices,
`Multimodal rese1ves the 1ight to amend its infringement contentions to include a cha1t mapping the claims of the '949 Patent to the strncture and
`function of the newly discovered devices.
`
`Plaintiff contends that users of the Accused Products, including Samsung itself during testing and qualification of the Accused Products,
`perfo1m each step of the claimed method. Alternatively, backend se1vers, under the direction and control of the Samsung handsets, pe1fo1m
`ce1tain steps of the claimed method. Samsung and its users deiive benefit from their use of the infiinging method by: (i) saving bandwidth in the
`initial notification by using a pointer to point to the multimodal message that is stored on a se1ver; (ii) increasing convenience to the user by
`enabling the sender's multimodal message to be quickly received; and (iii) allowing the method to operate in situations in which it would not
`othe1wise be able to operate such as when the user does not have a data connection.
`
`Suooort
`Each accused Samsung device, including the Galaxy S2 I Ultra SG perfo1ms a method of enabling a recipient to interact with an
`interactive multimodal message triggered on a mobile device of said recipient, comprising the step of creating said interactive
`multimodal message by a sender using a client application available to said sender, wherein said created interactive multimodal
`message is stored at a se1ver.
`
`For example, the user of the sending device causes the Accused Products, Android-based mobile devices, to send messages
`having multiple modes and interactive content.
