`
`file provisions of the patent laws. See MPEP 2159.02 (March 2014).”). AGIS’s Supplemental
`
`Responses to HTC’s 1st Set of Interrogatories, served on August 17, 2018, state that AGIS will
`
`rely upon an invention date prior to September 21, 2004 for the ’838, ’055, and ’251 patents but
`
`patents subject to the First-to-File provisions of the America Invents Act cannot claim earlier
`
`invention dates. State AGIS’s basis for claiming a pre-filing invention date for the ’838, ’055,
`
`and ’251 patents in view of AGIS’s representation to the USPTO that the ’838, ’055, and ’251
`
`patents are subject to the First-to-File provisions of the America Invents Act, which forbids
`
`claiming a pre-filing invention date.
`
`INTERROGATORY NO. 17:
`
`Identify all communications made by any representative or individual associated with any
`
`AGIS Company to any representative or individual associated with HTC Corporation or HTC
`
`America, Inc. that pre-date June 21, 2017.
`

`
`of each of the ’055, ’251, ’838, and ’970 patents, including: (a) the date of the notice; (b) the
`
`form that the notice was in (e.g., whether it was a hand-delivered letter, an e-mail, or was made
`
`verbally, etc.); (c) all documents reflecting the notice; (d) the person who received the notice; (e)
`
`the person who sent the notice; (f) the patent identified in the notice; and (g) how the notice put
`
`HTC Corporation on notice of an allegedly infringing act.
`
`INTERROGATORY NO. 19:
`
`AGIS has accused Find My Device and Device Manager (Find My Device’s predecessor)
`
`of infringing the ’970 patent. Find My Device is not installed on any HTC Corporation-made
`
`phone and Device Manager (Find My Device’s predecessor) and was only available from a

`
`Google owned and operated website accessible only via a web browser. Explain AGIS’s basis,
`
`and identify all documents in support of AGIS’s basis, for alleging that HTC Corporation
`
`directly infringes the ’970 patent.
`
`INTERROGATORY NO. 20:
`
`HTC Corporation does not make, use, offer to sell, or sell smartphones in the United
`
`States or import smartphones into the United States. For each of the asserted claims of the ’055,
`
`’251, ’838, and ’970 patents, separately identify the party or parties that AGIS contends directly
`
`infringe each patent, and which activity or activities from 35 U.S.C. § 271(a) (i.e., “makes . . .
`
`within the United States”, “uses . . . within the United States,” “offers to sell . . . within the
`
`United States,” “sells . . . within the United States,” or “imports into the United States”)
`
`constitute the infringing acts. Identify the documents that demonstrate these activities.
`
`INTERROGATORY NO. 21:
`
`Explain AGIS’s basis, and identify all documents in support of AGIS’s basis, for
`
`contending that HTC Corporation induces others to infringe each of the ’055, ’251, ’838, and
`
`’970 patents under 35 U.S.C. § 271(b), including an identification of the party or parties that
`
`perform the alleged direct infringement and an identification of the activities conducted by HTC
`
`Corporation that you claim demonstrate a specific intent of HTC Corporation to encourage direct
`
`infringement, including HTC Corporation’s knowledge of the ’055, ’251, ’838, and ’970 patents,
`
`knowledge that the induced acts constitute direct infringement of the ’055, ’251, ’838, and ’970
`
`patents, and the affirmative steps taken by HTC Corporation to bring about direct infringement.

`
`“participating in the group, wherein participating in the group
`includes sending first location information to a first server and
`receiving second location information from the first server”
`
`and
`
`“sending, to a second server, a request for second georeferenced
`map data different from the first georeferenced map data”
`
`Identify: (a) whether AGIS alleges that an HTC Corporation-made phone or a server performs
`
`the “sending, to a second sever;” (b) what accused instrumentality AGIS contends is the claimed
`
`“first server;” and (c) what accused instrumentality AGIS contends is the claimed “second
`
`server.”
`
`INTERROGATORY NO. 23:
`
`Explain AGIS’s basis, and identify all documents in support of AGIS’s basis, for stating
`
`that consumers attribute value to those features of Find My Device and Google Maps that
`
`allegedly infringe the ’055, ’251, ’838, and ’970 patents when the consumers purchase or
`
`determine to purchase an HTC Corporation-made phone and a quantifiable value attributable to
`
`said allegedly infringing features for each of the ’055, ’251, ’838, and ’970 patents.
`
`INTERROGATORY NO. 24:
`
`State the basis for AGIS’s contention that it is entitled to an injunction, including without
`
`limitation (1) how AGIS has suffered irreparable injury as a result of HTC Corporation’s alleged
`
`infringement, including an identification of the relevant market and the presence or absence of
`
`other competitors in the relevant market; (2) why monetary damages are inadequate to
`
`compensate for such injury; (3) the hardship AGIS would suffer were an injunction to be denied
`
`and why it is greater than the hardship HTC would suffer should an injunction be granted; and
`
`(4) how the public interest would be served by such an injunction. Identify all documents
`
`supporting AGIS’s contention that it is entitled to an injunction.
