`DEFENDANT LG ELECTRONICS, INC.’S SUPPLEMENTAL INITIAL DISCLOSURES
`
`Pursuant to Rule 26(a)(1) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Defendant LG
`
`Electronics, Inc., by and through their undersigned counsel, hereby make the following
`
`supplemental initial disclosures to Plaintiff AGIS Software Development, LLC (“AGIS”):
`
`A.
`
`The Correct Names Of The Parties To The Lawsuit
`
`Based upon the information reasonably available to LG at the present time, the following
`
`list contains the correct names of the current parties to this lawsuit:
`
`AGIS Software Development, LLC
`
`LG Electronics, Inc.
`
`B.
`
`The Name, Address, And Telephone Number Of Any Potential Parties
`
`Based upon the information reasonably available to LG at the present time, LG is
`
`unaware of any other persons or entities that should be named as potential parties to this lawsuit.
`
`LG reserves the right to supplement this disclosure as the case and discovery proceed.

`
`C.
`
`The Legal Theories And, In General, The Factual Bases Of LG’s Claims Or
`Defenses
`
`Below are preliminary summaries of the legal theories and factual bases for LG’s
`
`defenses. These preliminary summaries should not be construed as final disclosures, as LG will
`
`address its non-infringement and invalidity defenses, and other affirmative defenses, in the time
`
`provided by the Docket Control Order, and as permitted under the Federal Rules of Civil
`
`Procedure, the Local Rules, and the Patent Local Rules. In addition, because discovery is
`
`ongoing, many of the required disclosures in the case have yet to occur, claim construction is
`
`ongoing, and the subject matter of these preliminary summaries is properly the subject of expert
`
`opinion, it would be premature to set forth in detail the legal theories and factual bases for LG’s
`
`defenses and counterclaims. LG reserves the right to update these legal theories and factual
`
`bases as new information becomes available.
`
`Based on the present state of the record and the discovery to date, LG asserts at least the
`
`following defenses:
`
`1.
`
`LG is not subject to personal jurisdiction in the Eastern District of Texas and, in
`
`the alternative, this action should be transferred to the Northern District of
`
`California pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a).
`
`2.
`
`LG has not infringed and does not infringe any valid and enforceable claim of
`
`U.S. Patent Nos. 8,213,970 (the “‘970 Patent”), 9,408,055 (the “‘055 Patent”),
`
`9,445,251 (the “‘251 Patent”), and 9,467,838 (the “‘838 Patent”) (collectively,
`
`“Asserted Patents”) under any theory of infringement.
`
`3.
`
`Each asserted claim of the Asserted Patents is invalid because the alleged
`
`invention(s) therein fail to satisfy the conditions for patentability specified in one
`
`or more of 35 U.S.C. §§ 101, 102, 103, 112, and/or 113.

`
`Case 2:17-cv-00514-JRG Document 166-13 Filed 02/13/19 Page 4 of 10 PageID #: 14871
`
`4.
`
`By reason of the prior art and/or statements and representations made to the U.S.
`
`Patent and Trademark Office during prosecution of the application(s) that led to
`
`the issuance of the Asserted Patent, the claims are so limited that they cannot
`
`properly be construed as covering any activity or product of LG.
`
`AGIS’s claims for relief are barred or limited in whole or in part by equitable
`
`defenses, including laches, waiver, estoppel, and/or unclean hands.
`
`AGIS’s claim for injunctive relief is barred because there exists an adequate
`
`remedy at law for AGIS’s allegations, and AGIS’s claims otherwise fail to meet
`
`the requirements for such relief.
`
`AGIS is not entitled to a finding that this case is exceptional or to attorneys’ fees
`
`under 35 U.S.C. § 285, or pursuant to the Court’s inherent power.
`
`LG reserves the right to supplement this disclosure and add more claims and
`
`defenses as the case and discovery proceed.
