`
`

`

`Pursuant to P. R. 3-3 and 3-4, Defendant hereby provides its invalidity contentions and
`
`related documents pertaining only to the asserted claims as identified by Plaintiff in its
`
`Infringement Contentions. With respect to each asserted claim and based on its investigation to
`
`date, Defendant hereby: (a) identifies each currently known item of prior art that either
`
`anticipates or renders obvious each asserted claim; (b) specifies whether such prior art
`
`anticipates each asserted claim or renders it obvious; (c) submits a chart identifying where each
`
`element in each asserted claim is disclosed, described, or taught in the prior art, including for
`
`each element that is governed by pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. § 112, ¶ 6 and/or 35 U.S.C. § 112(f), the
`
`identity of the structure(s), act(s), or material(s) in each item of prior art (if any) that performs
`
`the claimed function; and (d) identifies the grounds for invalidating asserted claims based on
`
`indefiniteness under pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. § 112, ¶ 2 and/or 35 U.S.C. § 112 (b), or non-enablement
`
`or lack of written description under pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. § 112, ¶ 1 and/or 35 U.S.C. § 112 (a).
`
`Defendant further relies on and incorporates all prior art references cited in and/or on the cover
`
`of the Asserted Patents and their respective prosecution histories, including, for supporting the
`
`obviousness of any asserted claim.
`
`In addition, based on its investigation to date, Defendant hereby produces the documents
`
`currently in its possession, custody, or control required to accompany these Invalidity and
`
`Subject-Matter Eligibility Contentions pursuant to P. R. 3-4.
`
`II.
`
`RESERVATION OF RIGHTS
`
`As stated above, pursuant to P. R. 3-3 and 3-4, Defendant hereby provides disclosures and
`
`related documents pertaining only to the asserted claims identified by Plaintiff in its Infringement
`
`Contentions. Defendant reserves the right to modify, amend, or supplement these Invalidity
`
`Contentions to show the invalidity of any additional claims that the Court may allow Plaintiff to
`
`later assert. The Local Patent Rules and the Court’s Docket Control Order contemplate that these
`
`2
`
`

`

`Invalidity Contentions be prepared and served in response to Plaintiff’s Infringement
`
`Contentions, but Plaintiff’s Infringement Contentions are insufficient in that they lack proper and
`
`complete disclosure as to how Defendant allegedly infringes each element of the asserted claims.
`
`As such, Defendant reserves the right to modify, amend, and/or supplement these Invalidity
`
`Contentions should the Court permit Plaintiff to correct, clarify, amend, and/or supplement its
`
`Infringement Contentions.
`
`Defendant’s Invalidity Contentions and selection of documents accompanying them are
`
`based on information currently available to Defendant and are subject to further revision. For
`
`example, Plaintiff (or its counsel) may be in possession of prior art that has not been disclosed to
`
`Defendant. As another example, because discovery has only recently begun, Defendant reserves
`
`the right to amend or supplement the information provided herein, including identifying and
`
`relying on additional references.
`
`To the extent that these Invalidity Contentions reflect or otherwise embody particular
`
`constructions of terms or phrases in the asserted claims, Defendant is not proposing any such
`
`constructions as proper constructions of those terms or phrases. Various positions put forth in
`
`these Invalidity Contentions are predicated on Plaintiff’s incorrect and/or overbroad
`
`interpretation of its claims in its Infringement Contentions provided to Defendant. These
`
`Invalidity Contentions are not intended to, and do not necessarily, reflect Defendant’s
`
`interpretation of the true and proper scope of the asserted claims. Defendant reserves the right to
`
`adopt claim construction positions that differ from any position in this document. Defendant also
`
`objects to any attempt by Plaintiff to infer any purported claim constructions from any
`
`identification of potential prior art.
`
`3
`
`

`

`In those instances where Defendant asserts that the asserted claims are invalid under 35
`
`U.S.C. § 112 (e.g., no written description, not enabled, and/or indefinite), Defendant has applied
`
`the prior art in accordance with its assumption that Plaintiff contends such asserted claims (1) are
`
`definite, (2) have written description support, and (3) are enabled, as evidenced by Plaintiff’s
`
`Infringement Contentions. As such, Defendant’s Invalidity Contentions do not represent its
`
`agreement or view as to the meaning, definiteness, written description support for, or enablement
`
`of any asserted claim.
`
`For the avoidance of doubt, these Invalidity Contentions and accompanying documents
`
`are not intended to reflect Defendant’s claim construction contentions, which will be disclosed in
`
`accordance with the Court’s Docket Control Order.
`
`Defendant’s Invalidity Contentions may change depending on the Court’s construction of
`
`the asserted claims, any findings as to the priority date of the asserted claims, and/or positions
`
`that Plaintiff or its experts may take concerning claim construction, infringement, and/or
`
`invalidity issues. Prior art not included in this disclosure, whether known or unknown to
`
`Defendant, may become relevant. In particular, Defendant is currently unaware of the extent, if
`
`any, to which Plaintiff will contend that limitations of the asserted claims are not disclosed in the
`
`prior art identified by Defendant, or will contend that any of the identified references do not
`
`qualify as prior art. To the extent that such an issue arises, Defendant reserves the right to
`
`identify other references that, inter alia, would have made the addition of the allegedly missing
`
`limitation to the disclosed device or method obvious.
`
`The identification of any patent or patent publication shall be deemed to include any
`
`counterpart patent or application filed, published, or issued anywhere in the world. The citation
`
`to any specifications published by standard-setting organizations shall be deemed to include any
`
`4
`
`

`

`product that implements such specifications and that would qualify as prior art under 35 U.S.C. §
`
`102, e.g., under Sections 102(a), 102(b), or 102(g)(2).
`
`Defendant’s claim charts cite to particular teachings and disclosures of the prior art as
`
`applied to features of the asserted claims. Persons having ordinary skill in the art, however, may
`
`view an item of prior art in the context of other publications, literature, products, and
`
`understanding. As such, the cited portions are only exemplary, and Defendant reserves the right
`
`to rely on uncited portions of the prior art references and on other publications and expert
`
`testimony as aids in understanding and interpreting the cited portions, as providing context
`
`thereto, and as additional evidence that the prior art discloses a claim limitation. Defendant
`
`further reserves the right to rely on uncited portions of the prior art references, other
`
`publications, and testimony to establish bases for combinations of certain cited references that
`
`render the asserted claims obvious. Further, for any combination, Defendant reserves the right to
`
`rely additionally on information generally known to those skilled in the art or common sense.
`
`The references discussed in the claim charts may disclose the elements of the asserted
`
`claims explicitly or inherently, or they may be relied upon to show the state of the art in the
`
`relevant time frame. The suggested obviousness combinations are provided in the alternative to
`
`Defendant’s anticipation contentions and are not to be construed to suggest that any reference
`
`included in the combinations is not by itself anticipatory.
`
`Defendant reserves the right to challenge patentability of the asserted claims under pre-
`
`AIA 35 U.S.C. § 102(f) and/or 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) in the event Defendant obtains evidence that
`
`the named inventor of the Asserted Patents did not invent the subject matter claimed in the
`
`Asserted Patents or is not the sole inventor of the Asserted Patents. Should Defendant obtain
`
`such evidence, it will provide the name of the person(s) from whom and the circumstances under
`
`5
`
`

`

`which the invention or any part of it was derived. Defendant further reserves the right to assert
`
`that the Asserted Patents are unenforceable due to inequitable conduct.
`
`Because discovery has just recently begun, Defendant anticipates that additional prior art
`
`and invalidity bases may be found. Defendant’s investigation and analysis of the prior art is
`
`continuing, and thus Defendant reserves the right to supplement, amend, and/or revise the
`
`information provided herein as Defendant conducts further investigation and/or analysis,
`
`including identifying, charting, and relying on additional references.
`
`Additionally, in view of likely third-party discovery that will be taken, Defendant
`
`reserves the right to present additional items of prior art under 35 U.S.C. §§ 102 (pre-AIA or
`
`post-AIA) and/or § 103 located during discovery or further investigation, and to assert
`
`contentions of invalidity under, for example, 35 U.S.C. §§ 102(c), (d), or (f). For example,
`
`Defendant may issue subpoenas to third parties believed to have knowledge, documents, and/or
`
`other evidence concerning invalidity of one or more of the Asserted Claims.
`
`In addition to the positions and prior art identified in these Invalidity Contentions
`
`(including the accompanying invalidity claim charts), Defendant also incorporates by reference
`
`all invalidity contentions, prior art1, and invalidity claim charts (including, without limitation, all
`
`anticipation positions, obviousness positions (including all prior art combinations and
`
`motivations to combine), indefiniteness positions, written description positions, and
`
`nonenablement positions) concerning one or more of the Asserted Patents, as disclosed at any
`
`time. This includes without limitation disclosures in previous or related litigation, in United
`
`States Patent & Trademark Office (“USPTO”) proceedings, by the Plaintiff, by any other parties
`
`
`1 Prior art appearing in the file histories of the Asserted Patents is not required to be separately
`produced by Defendant under P.R. 3-4(b).
`
`6
`
`

`

`accused of patent infringement by the Plaintiff, or by the named inventors or any individuals
`
`associated with the prosecution and/or post-grant review of the Asserted Patents.
`
`III.
`
`IDENTIFICATION OF PRIOR ART PURSUANT TO P.R. 3-3(A)
`
`Pursuant to P. R. 3-3(a), and subject to Defendant’s reservation of rights, Defendant
`
`identifies each item of prior art that at least evidences the obviousness of one or more of the
`
`asserted claims. In its Infringement Contentions, Plaintiff provided the following priority dates
`
`for the Asserted Patents: August 17, 2012. Without admitting the validity of this priority date,
`
`Defendant uses this priority date for the purposes of these Invalidity Contentions.
`
`In the following sections, Defendant identifies each prior art patent by its number,
`
`country of origin, and date of issue, each non-patent prior art publication by, where possible, its
`
`title, date of publication, and author and/or publisher, and each prior art system currently known
`
`to Defendant by, where possible, its name and date of sale, use, or knowledge. Defendant
`
`reserves the right to identify additional non-patent and non-publication prior art systems that
`
`were sold, offered for sale, used, etc. prior to the priority date to the extent any such systems
`
`becomes known during discovery.
`
`Defendant further relies on and incorporates all prior art references cited in and/or on the
`
`cover of the Asserted Patents and their respective prosecution histories, including for supporting
`
`the obviousness of any asserted claim. Defendant further relies on and incorporates by reference,
`
`as if originally set forth herein, all invalidity positions, and all associated prior art and claim
`
`charts, disclosed to Plaintiff by present or former defendants in any lawsuits or other proceedings
`
`or by potential or actual licensees to any of the asserted claims. Defendant hereby discloses and
`
`identifies as if originally set forth herein, all prior art references listed and/or asserted in the
`
`above as invalidating prior art against each of the asserted claims.
