`
`Clark anticipates any of the asserted claims of the '970 Patent. And none of the references, either
`
`alone, or in combination, renders any of the asserted claims of the '970 Patent obvious. My
`

`
`The asserted claims of the '055, '251, '838, and '829 Patents are not invalid, as asserted by
`
`Clark or Siegel in their respective October 29, 2018 Reports, or upon other bases presented by
`
`APPLE.2 None of the references proposed by Clark or Siegel anticipates any of the asserted
`
`claims of the '055, '251, '838, and '829 Patents. And none of the references, either alone, or in

`
`The References Proffered by Clark and Siegel are Cumulative to the Art of
`Record Before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office

`
`None of the references identified by Clark and Siegel (listed in Section 5 below) are
`
`material to patentability of any of the asserted claims, because each reference is cumulative to
`
`the art already before the Examiner at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office during the
`
`prosecution of the applications that issued as the '970, '055, '251, '838, and '829 Patents.

`
`Findings Related to Infringement Remain Unchanged as Presented in My
`Expert Report on Infringement

`
`Infringement positions, as stated in my previous expert report of October 29, 2018,
`
`remain unchanged. In my technical opinion, the APPLE products identified in that report
`
`infringe the asserted claims of the '970, '055, '251, '838, and '829 Patents.

`
`LifeRing product before the priority date of each of the respective '055, '251, '838, and '829
`
`Patents,311 because there was no sale or offer for sale prior to that time. Therefore, the LifeRing
`
`system source code, as it existed in version 2.12, does not qualify as invalidating prior art and
`
`attempts by Clark to use the LifeRing source code as potentially invalidating prior art are
`
`improper.

`
`In contrast to Clark’s opinions, the LifeRing System does not qualify as invalidating prior

`
`In contrast to Siegel’s opinions, the FBCB2 System does not qualify as invalidating prior

`
`greater detail above, Siegel does not identify any specific version of FBCB2, let alone a version
`
`that meets all of the limitations of the claims. Further, he fails to identify any documentary
`

`
`at any time prior to the filing date of the '055 Patent, i.e., prior to September 21, 2004.

`

`
`more than one year prior to September 21, 2004, the filing date of the '728 Patent.399 Therefore,

`
`Altman further does not include at least “presenting;” and “receiving user input,” as also required

`
`7.6.8.1.4
`
`Claims 1 and 24 of the '251 Patent are

`
`In contrast to Clark’s opinions, the LifeRing System does not qualify as invalidating prior
`
`art the '251 Patent at least because it was not on sale or offered for sale by April 17, 2006, the
`
`filing date of the '724 Patent.407 Additionally, as I set forth in my opening report, the AGIS
`
`messaging specification always includes the IP address of the sender and thus each device
`
`always knows the IP address of the other devices. Thus the ’251 Patent claims are not met by
`
`AGIS’s LifeRing product sold prior to the effective filing date. Therefore, the LifeRing System
`
`does not anticipate or render obvious, alone or in combination, claims 1 and 24 of the '251

`Patent.

`
