`
`291.
`
`Since at least the filing of the Original Complaint,Lenovo US’s infringement of
`
`at least claim 27 of the °888 patent has been willful. Lenovo OS's offers for sale, sales, or use of
`
`the Accused Portable Products with provision of manuals and instruction to purchasers that
`
`encourage use it knows will infringe the ’888 patent constitutes willfal infringement. Lenovo
`
`US is a large corporation with a plethora of resources. Lenovo US’s failure to fully investigate
`
`the allegations of infringement against it, its offers for sale, sales, and use of the Accused
`
`Portable Products, and its failure to take remedial action to avoid infringement evidencesits
`
`willful infringement.
`
`292.
`
`The foregoing description of Lenovo US’s infringement is based on publicly
`
`available information, LiTLreserves the right to modify this description, including, for exarnple,
`
`on the basis of information about the Accused Portable Products that it obtains during discovery.
`
`293,
`
`LiTL has been and is being wreparably harmed, and has incurred and will
`
`continue to incur damages, as a result of Lenovo US’s infringement of the 888 patent.
`
`294.
`
`Lenovo US’s infringement of the “888 patent has damaged and continues to
`
`damage LiITL in an arnount yet to be determined, of at least a reasonable royalty.
`
`295. On information and belief, Lenovo Beijing has had knowledge of the ’888 patent
`
`Leneve Belling
`
`since before the filing of the Original Complaint.
`
`296.
`
`Lenovo Betting has extensive experience with intellectual property. Lenovo
`
`Beijing has been the owner of over 2,500 patent applications and over 2,200 patents. Over the
`
`past decade, Lenove US has been involved in over 200 patent litigations in the United States, and
`
`has been a party in over 30 infer partes review proceedings before the U.S. Patent Trial and
`
`Appeals Board. The Lenovo 2019 Annual Report identifies intellectual property CP} risk as one
`

`
`HP Inc. - Exhibit 1005 - Page 5919
`
`HP Inc. - Exhibit 1005 - Page 5919
`
`

`

`
`
`of the “key risks that the Group considers to be of great significance to the Group as it stands
`
`today.” http . For example, mvlistcosh CVany ( Ol odf pag
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`the report recognizes that Lenovo could suffer “reputational harm if found to infrmge a third
`
`> Wwit
`RAY
`party’s valid patents.
`
`To manage and mitigate its IP risk, Lenovo plans to: “Monitor, develop and execute IP litigation
`
`defense strategy” and “License [P as appropriate and monitor its continued validity and value to
`
`the Group.” Lenovo Beijing’s R&D teams work closely with IP lawyers from product
`
`conception through manufacture and commercialization to develop effective IP strategies for
`
`newproducts, such as the Yoga-branded laptops.
`
`
`
`297.
`
`Consistent with Lenovo Beiting’s sophistication with IP matters and the fact that
`
`the Asserted Patents belong to a patent family that has been frequentlycited in patent
`
`applications of major players in the personal computing space, on information andbelief,
`
`Lenovo Beijing was aware by 2016 of the family of LITL patents and applications to which the
`
`888 patent belongs.
`
`298.
`
`Since at least 2016 Lenovo Beijing knew or should have known, or at a mininyum
`
`acted with willful blindness to the fact that, the Accused Portable Products sold on its website
`
`and bearing its marks infringe one or more claims of the ’888 patent based on at least the
`
`following:
`

`

`
`Lenove Beijing’s sophistication and substantial resources with respect to
`
`intellectual property matters;
`
`Lenovo Beying’s knowledge of the patent family to which the ’888 patent
`
`belongs; and
`
`142
`
`HP Inc. - Exhibit 1005 - Page 5920
`
`HP Inc. - Exhibit 1005 - Page 5920
`
`

`

`
`

`

`
`Lenovo Beijing’s knowledge since at least 2016 ofthe ’688 and’844 patents,
`
`which are ancestors to the °888 patent, and citation to these parent patent
`
`publications in Lenovo Beijing patent applications since at least 2016; and
`
`the close working relationship between Lenovo Beijing’s R&D teams and its IP
`
`lawyers and Lenovo Beying’s substantial patent prosecution activities durected to
`
`electronic devices having the 2-in-1 functionality of the Accused Portable
`
`Products, inchiding the YOGA-branded laptop products.
`
`299. On information and belief, Lenove Bering has known, should have known, or has
`
`been willfully blind to the existence of the "R&S Patent, since at least 2016. As a descendant of
`
`the °688 and "844 patents (and their corresponding published patent applications), which have
`
`been frequently cited during prosecution of patent applications owned by major players in the
`
`personal computing space, including the Lenovo Group andits subsidiaries, Lenovo Beijing
`
`knew, should have known, or was willfully blind to the existence of the ’888 patent.
`
`300. On imformation and belief, Lenovo Beijing is a sophisticated companyregarding
`
`patents and business in the United States, and citation of patents that cover any of Lenovo's
`
`products is a significant concern to Lenove Beijing. In a 2007 press release, Lenove’s leadership
`
`stated that “one of the most important goals of international business” is “the protection of
`
`intelectual property.” He also noted that “als a global corporate citizen, Lenovo is deeply
`
`comunitted to the protection of intellectual property. We continue to take the lead by
`
`encouraging more businesses and individual users to respect and protect intellectual property as a
`
`means of building an imnovation-friendly business environment.” See

`
`

`

`
`
`
`
`leadershrp noted that “[i|ntellectual property is a strategic asset for Lenovo”that “not only
`
`protects our investment in invention and mnovation, but also positions Lenovo’s businesses to
`
`flourish and grow.”
`
`301. On imformation and belief, Lenovo Beijing has procedures to evaluate whether
`
`Lenove products have freedomto operate in the United States, particularly where the products
`
`comprise a significant portion of Lenovo’s revenue. On information and belief, the Accused
`
`Portable Products comprise a significant portion of Lenovo’s revenue, and since at least 2016
`
`Lenovo Beijing knewthat use of the Accused Portable Products infringes the °888 patent.
`
`302. On imtormation andbehef, citation of the "688 and ’844 patents and their
`
`corresponding published applications during the USPTO prosecution of Lenovo Beijing patents
`
`caused Lenovo Beijing to investigate, become aware of, and consider descendant patents,
`
`inchiding the °888 patent, and the rest of LiTL’s patent portfolio.
`
`303.
`
`Since at least 2016 Lenovo Beijing knewor should have known,or at a mumnimmm
`
`acted with willful blindness to the fact that, the Accused Portable Products sold on its website
`
`and bearing its marks infringe one or more claims of the ’888 patent since the patent is a
`
`descendant of LITL’s frequently cited ancestor patents (and related published applications},
`
`which Lenovo Beijing cited during the prosecution of multiple patents.
`
`304.
`
`In addition, Lenovo Beijing has knownthat the Accused Portable Products sold
`
`on its website and bearing its marks infringe one or more of the claims of the “B88 patent since at
`
`least the time that it received notice of the Origial Complaint, or since at least September29,
`
`2020.
`
`305.
`
`Lenovo Bening’s Lenovo.com Domain continues to market and offer for sale the
`
`Accused Products bearing Lenovo Beijing’s marks into the United States and Delaware since the

`

`
`
`
`
`filing of the Original Cornplaimt, which thoroughly detailed howthe Accused Portable Products
`
`infringe at least claim 27 of the ’888 patent.
`
`306.
`
`Lenovo Beijing has known or should have known since it first became aware of
`
`the °888 patent, and at least by September 29, 2020, that end users, importers, distributors,
`
`retailers, repair and service technicians, Lenovo US and its employees and contractors, and other
`
`users of the Accused Products are infringing the ’888 patent.
`
`307.
`
`Lenovo Beijing is responsible for what is posted on the Lenovo.com Domain,
`
`including its press releases identified in Paragraph 90 above, which encourage users of the
`
`Accused Products im the United States and Delaware to infringe at least claim 27 of the ’888
`
`patent by using the Accused Portable Products. Since at least 2016, Lenovo Bering has
`
`encouraged customers to use the Accused Portable Products by providing the Lenovo.com
`
`Domain to host press releases that encourage customers to use the Accused Portable Products.
`
`Lenove Beuing’s conduct since 2016 demonstrates an intent to induce customers to directly
`
`infringe at least claim 27 of the ’888 patent. Lenovo Beijing’s conduct since 2016 also
`
`demonstrates an intent to induce Lenovo US to infringe the “S888 patent by selling, offering for
`
`sale, and using the Accused Portable Products.
`
`308.
`
`Lenovo Beijing has actively and knowimelyinduced infringement, and is actively
`
`and knowingly inducing infringement of one or more claims of the °888 patent, Hterally and/or
`
`equivalently, at least by inducing end users, repair and service technicians, Lenovo employees
`
`and contractors, and others to use the Accused Products in an infringing manner. For example,
`
`Lenevo instructs such users by way of manuals or product documentation to infringe the asserted
`
`claims byusing the Accused Portable Products. See, ¢.g.,
`
`

`HP Inc. - Exhibit 1005 - Page 5923
`

`
`

`

`
`
`
`
`309.
`
`Lenovo Beying has had knowledge ofthe ’888 patent andits infrmgement of the
`
`888 patent since it first became aware of the °&88 patent in 2016, and since at least the timeit
`
`received notice of the Original Complaint or at least by September 29, 2026. Lenovo Beijing has
`
`induced infringement of the 888 patent with specific intent to induce infringement of that patent.
`
`310.
`
`Lenovo Beijing’s infringement of the °888 patent has been willful since it first
`
`became aware of the °154 patent in 2016, or since at least the time it received notice of the
`
`Original Complaint, and tts ongoing infringement of the "888 patent continues to be willful.
`
`Lenovo Beijing’s willful infringementis evidenced by the following: the close warking
`
`relationship between Lenovo Beijing’s IP andresearch and design departments; the similarities
`
`between howthe Accused Portable Products operate, the functionality that Lenovo Beying
`
`sought to claim in its patent applications, and the requirements of claim 27 of the “S88 patent;
`
`Lenovo Beijing’s significant size and resources; and Lenovo Berjing’s failure to take remedial
`
`action to avoid infringernent. Lenovo Beijing has chosen to manufacture or control manufacture
`
`of the Accused Products with the intent that the Accused Products would be imported, offered
`
`for sale, sold, and/or used in the United States, to distribute or control distribution of the Accused
`
`Products in Lenovo’s established distribution channels with the intent that the Accused Products
`
`would be imported, offered for sale, sold, and/or used in the United States, as explained in more
`
`detail above, and knowing that doing so would infringe the ’&88 patent, and despite receiving
`
`notice from LiTLthat continuing to do so would infringe the 888 patent.
`
`311.
`
`The foregoing description of Lenovo Beijing's infringement is based on publicly
`
`available information. LiTL reserves the night to modifythis description, including, for example,
`
`on the basis of information about the Accused Portable Products that it obtains during discovery.

`
`Lenovo US's infringement of the °957 patent has damaged and continues to
`
`damage LiTL in an amount yet to be determined, of at least a reasonable royalty.
`
`326.
`
`Lenovo US and Lenovo Bejing have had knowledge of the °957 patent since
`
`Lenove Beijing
`
`before the filmg of the Original Complaint.
`
`327. On November 5, 2013, the °957 patent issued from U.S. Patent Application No.
`
`12/416,503, which had earlier published on December 3, 2009 as U.S. Patent Application
`
`Publication No. 2008/030051L1 (the LiTL *511 publication’).
`
`328.
`
`Since at least 2017 Lenovo Beijing has had knowledge of the LiTL “511
`
`publication.
`
`329. On March 14, 2017, the Chinese Intellectual Property Office issued a search
`
`report to Lenove Beijing identifying the LITL °511 publication in connection with Lenovo’s
`
`Chinese Patent Application No. 201500267712. Lenovo Bening has extensive experience with
`
`intellectual property. Lenove Beijing has been the owner of over 2,500 patent applications and
`
`over 2,200 patents. Over the past decade, Lenovo US has been involved in over 200 patent
`
`litigations in the United States, and has been a party in over 50 infer partes review proceedings
`
`before the U.S. Patent Trial and Appeals Board. The Lenove 2019 Annual Report identifies
`
`intellectual property (IP) risk as one of the “key risks that the Group considers to be ofgreat
`
`significance to the Group as it stands today.”
`
`f, page22. For example, the report
`
`recognizes that Lenovo could suffer “reputational harm if found to infringe a third party’s valid
`
` e 27. To manage
`
`and mitigate its [P msk, Lenovo plans to: “Monitor, develop and execute [P htigation defense
`
`strategy” and “License [P as appropriate and monitor its continued validity and value to the
`
`133

`
`HP Inc. - Exhibit 1005 - Page 5933
`
`

`

`
`
`
`
`Group.” Lenovo Beiying’s R&D teams work closely with IP lawyers from product conception
`
`through manufacture and commercialization to develop effective [P strategies for new products,
`
`such as the Yoga-branded laptops.
`
`
`
`330.
`
`Consistent with Lenovo’s sophistication with IP matters and the tact that the
`
`Asserted Patents belong to a patent family that has been frequently cited in patent applications of
`
`major players in the personal computing space, on information and belief, Lenovo Betjing was
`
`aware by 2017 of the family of LiTL patents and applications to which the ’957 patent belongs.
`
`331.
`
`Since at least 2017 Lenove Betting knewor should have known, or at a minimurn
`
`acted with willful blindness to the fact, that itsAccused Products infringe one or more claims of
`
`the °957 patent based on at least the following:
`
`@
`
`the Chinese Intellectual Property Office’s citation of the LiTL ?311 publication to
`
`Lenove Beijing during prosecution of Lenove’s own patent application;
`
`® Lenovo Beiing’s sophistication and substantial resources with respect to intellectual
`
`property matters;
`
`® Lenovo Betjing’s knowledge of the patent family to which the 957 patent belongs;
`
`® Lenovo Beying’s knowledge since at least 2016 ofthe ’688 and °844 patents, which
`
`are ancestors to the “957 patent, and citation to these patents and their corresponding
`
`publications in Lenove Beijing patent applications since at least 2016; and
`
`e
`
`the close working relationship between Lenovo Beijing's R&D teams andits IP
`
`lawyers and Lenovo Betjing’s substantial patent prosecution activities directed to
`
`electronic devices having the 2-in-1 functionality of the Accused Portable Products,
`
`inchiding the YOGA-branded laptop products.

`HP Inc. - Exhibit 1005 - Page 5934
`
`

`

`
`
`332. On imformation and belict, Lenovo Beijmg has known, should have known, or has
`
`been willfully blind to the existence of the ’957 Patent, since at feast 2017. As a descendant of
`
`the "6&8 and ’844 patents (and their corresponding published patent applications), which have
`
`been frequently cited during prosecution of patent applications owned by major players in the
`
`personal computing space, including the Lenovo Group andits subsidiaries, Lenovo Beijmeg
`
`knew or was willfully blind to the existence of the “957 patent.
`
`333. On information and belief, Lenovo Beiting is a sophisticated company regarding
`
`patents and business in the United States, and citation of patents that cover any of Lenovo’s
`
`products is a significant concern to Lenovo Beijing. In a 2007 press release, Lenovo’s leadership
`
`stated that “one of the most important goals of international business”is “the protection of
`
`intellectual property,” and “[als a global corporate citizen, Lenovo is deeply committed to the
`
`protection of intellectual property. We continue to take the lead by encouraging more businesses
`
`and individual users to respect and protect intellectual property as a means of building an
`
`innovation-fnendly business environment.”
`
`
`oodb% In a 2018 press release, Lenovo's leadership noted that “filntellectual property
`dere
`
`is a strategic asset for Lenovo”that “not only protects our investment in invention and
`
`imnovation, but also positions Lenovo’s businesses to flourish and grow.” On informationand
`
`belief, Lenovo Beijing has procedures to evaluate whether Lenovo products have freedom to
`
`operate in the United States, particularly where the products comprise a significant portion of
`
`Lenevo’s revenue. On information and belief, the Accused Portable Products comprise a
`
`significant portion of Lenovo’s revenue, and since at least 2017 Lenovo Beying knewthat use of
`
`the Accused Portable Products infringes the ’957 patent.

`HP Inc. - Exhibit 1005 - Page 5935
`
`

`

`
`
`
`
`334. On information and belief, citation of the LITL ’511 publication during the
`
`ISPTO prosecution of Lenovo Beijing patents caused Lenovo Beijing to mvestigate, become
`
`aware of, and consider the "957 patent, related patents, and the rest of LiTL’s patent portfolto.
`
`Beyond Lenovo Beijing’s actual knowledge of the °957 patent, these citations during Lenovo
`
`Beijing’s USPTO prosecution gave Lenovo Beving the subjective belief that the °957 patent
`
`existed, and failure to learn of the existence of the °957 patent would have required Lenovo
`
`Beijing to deliberately avoid reviewing or understanding the prosecution documents. On
`
`information and belief, Lenovo Beying would not have done so in a matter so important to the
`
`Accused Products and the reverme and reputation derived therefrom.
`
`333.
`
`In addition, Lenovo Beying has knownthat the Accused Products sold on its
`
`website and bearing its marks infringe one or more claims of the “957 patent since at least 2017,
`
`or sirice at least the time that it received notice of the Original Complaint, or since at least
`
`September 29, 2020.
`
`336.
`
`Lenovo Beijing’s Lenovo.com Domain continues to market and offer for sale the
`
`Accused Portable Products bearing Lenove Betjing’s marks into the United States and Delaware
`
`since the filing of the Original Complaint, which thoroughly detailed howthe Accused Portable
`
`Products infringe at least claim 19 of the °957 patent.
`
`337.
`
`Lenovo Beiing has known or should have knownsinceit first became aware of
`
`the °957 patent, and at least by September 29, 2020, that end users, importers, distributors,
`
`retailers, repair and service technicians, Lenovo US and its employees and contractors, and other
`
`users of the Accused Products are infringing the ’957 patent.
`
`338.
`
`Lenovo Beijing is responsible for content displayed on the Lenovo.com Domain,
`
`including the press releases identified in Paragraph 90 above, which encourage users of the
`

`
`HP Inc. - Exhibit 1005 - Page 5936
`
`HP Inc. - Exhibit 1005 - Page 5936
`
`

`

`
`
`
`
`Accused Portable Products in the United States and Delaware to infringe at least claim 19 of the
`
`°957 patent by using the Accused Portable Products. Since at least 2017, Lenovo Beijing has
`
`encouraged customers to use the Accused Portable Products by providing the Lenovo.com
`
`Domain to host press releases that encourage customers to use the Accused Portable Products.
`
`Lenove Beving’s conduct since at least 2017 demonstrates an intent fo induce customers to
`
`directly infringe at least claim 19 of the °957 patent. Lenovo Beijing’s conduct since at least
`
`2017 also demonstrates an intent to induce Lenovo US to infringe the ’957 patent by selling,
`
`offering for sale, and using the Accused Portable Products.
`
`339.
`
`Lenovo Bening has actively and knowmelyinduced infringement, and is actively
`
`and knowingly inducing infringement of one or more claims of the °957 patent, Hterally and/or
`
`equivalently, at least by inducing end users, repair and service technicians, Lenove employees
`
`and contractors, and others to use the Accused Products in an infringing manner. For example,
`
`Lenevo instructs such users by way of manuals or product documentation to infringe the asserted
`
`claims byusing the Accused Products. See, e.g.,
`
`
`
`349.
`
`Lenovo Beijing has had knowledge of the °957 patent and its infringement of the
`
`‘OS7 patent since it first became aware of the “957 patent in 2017, and b
