`(LEAD CASE)
`
`JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
`
`
`
`
`










`
`
`AGIS SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT LLC’S SUR-REPLY IN OPPOSITION TO
`HTC CORPORATION’S SEALED MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT
`OF NO PRE-SUIT INDIRECT INFRINGEMENT (DKT. 109)
`
`
`
`

`

`Case 2:17-cv-00514-JRG Document 257 Filed 03/04/19 Page 2 of 7 PageID #: 21048
`
`HTC’s reply ignores AGIS’ position and now purports to seek relief for post-filing acts of
`
`induced infringement––HTC did not seek this relief in its motion and summary judgment of no
`
`post-suit inducement would be improper. As AGIS explained in its Opposition, AGIS does not
`
`seek pre-suit indirect infringement in this case. See Dkt. 182 at 3. AGIS has represented, and
`
`intends to show at trial, that HTC has and continues to induce the direct infringement of HTC’s
`
`customers––acts of direct infringement that have occurred after the filing of the complaint.
`
`HTC provides servers that cause HTC’s customers to install the accused functionality.
`
`HTC also provides support for its devices that direct its customers to download and install the
`
`accused functionality on compatible Android devices. Additionally, HTC causes its devices to
`
`update to the newest versions of the Android Operating System, Google Maps, and the Find My
`
`Device application which include these accused functionalities. See Dkt. 182 at 4; see also Ex.
`
`A, https://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-10/news/ (providing software updates and download
`
`instructions, available after the filing date of the complaint.

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`HTC seems to argue that it should not be liable for infringement by any devices sold prior
`
`to the filing of the complaint, but HTC’s position has no support in fact or law. HTC does not
`
`present any case law that would foreclose infringement where the acts of direct infringement
`
`occur post-complaint. HTC’s arguments merely highlight that there exist several disputes of
`
`material fact that preclude a finding of summary judgment.
`
`For the foregoing reasons, HTC has failed to show good cause for its motion and AGIS
`
`respectfully requests that the Court deny HTC’s Motion for Summary Judgment of No Pre-Suit
`
`Indirect Infringement.
