`NOTICE OF MOTION AND MOTION
`
`TO ALL PARTIES AND THEIR ATTORNEYS OF RECORD:
`
`PLEASE TAKE NOTICE THAT on September 7, 2023, in Courtroom 3, Fifth Floor, of the
`
`United States District Court for the Northern District of California, San Jose Division, located at
`
`280 South First Street, San Jose, California, or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard, a
`
`hearing will be held by the Honorable Beth Labson Freeman, United States District Judge, on
`
`Defendants Google LLC (“Google”) and Waze Mobile Ltd. (“Waze”)’s Motion for Summary
`
`Judgment.
`
`Google moves the Court for summary judgment that (1) Google does not infringe the
`
`asserted claims of U.S. Patent No. 9,445,251 (“’251 Patent”), U.S. Patent No. 9,467,838 (“’838
`
`Patent”), U.S. Patent No. 9,749,829 (“’829 Patent”), or U.S. Patent No. 9,820,123 (“’123 Patent”);
`
`and (2) the asserted claims of the ’251 Patent, ’838 Patent, ’829 Patent, and ’123 Patent are invalid
`
`as anticipated by U.S. Patent No. 7,630,724 (“’724 Patent”). The ’251, ’838, ’829, and ’123 Patents
`
`are collectively referred to herein as the “Asserted Patents.”1
`
`Waze moves the Court for summary judgment (1) that Waze does not infringe the asserted
`
`claims of the ’829 Patent or ’123 Patent; (2) that the asserted claims of the ’829 Patent and ’123
`
`Patent are invalid as anticipated by the ’724 Patent; and (3) that Waze cannot be found to have
`
`willfully infringed the asserted claims of any Asserted Patent.
`
`This Motion is based on the following Memorandum of Points and Authorities,2 the
`
`accompanying declaration of Mark Liang, the pleadings and records on file in this action, and such
`
`other written and/or oral arguments as may be presented at or before the time this Motion is taken
`
`under submission by the Court.
`
`
`
`
`1 Google has filed a separate Rule 12(b)(1) motion to dismiss the one additional asserted patent
`
`not addressed in this motion, U.S. Patent No. 8,213,970. ECF 425.
`
`2 The Court permitted Defendants an additional five (5) pages, or thirty (30) pages total, for their
`
`Memorandum of Points and Authorities. ECF 428 (3/1/23 Hr’g Tr.) at 15:7-15.

`MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES
`
`I.
`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`AGIS filed this action over three years ago, initially asserting 266 claims across six patents.
`
`But AGIS’s assertions against Google and Waze have now been reduced to 44 claims across five
`
`patents. Through claim construction, fact and expert discovery, dispositive motions, and
`
`preparation for the previously impending trial in the Eastern District of Texas, the relevant facts
`
`concerning the accused products are now undisputed, as is the interpretation of the remaining
`
`claims. This case is, thus, ripe for summary judgment.
`
`The Asserted Patents are directed to fundamentally different uses and applications from
`
`those provided by the accused Google and Waze products, and, as a result, the accused products do
`
`not infringe any asserted claims. The patents’ stated goal is to help first responders, military, and
`
`emergency personnel responding to emergencies or threats by forming “ad hoc groups” of users
`
`who can see each other’s real-time locations and coordinate their activities. The accused Google
`
`products—Find My Device (“FMD”) and Google Maps Mobile (“GMM”)—and Waze products—
`
`Waze app and Waze Carpool—by contrast, are consumer applications that do not allow forming
`
`“ad hoc groups” but instead provide users with functionality such as finding a lost device (FMD),
`
`navigating a route (GMM and Waze app), and booking carpool rides (Waze Carpool).
`
`Reflecting these fundamental differences, FMD, GMM, Waze app, and Waze Carpool do
`
`not practice several limitations of the Asserted Patents: First, none of the four accused applications
`
`have or support the use of “groups” at all, much less “groups” that allow members to share locations
`
`bidirectionally—key requirements of all asserted claims. Second, FMD and GMM do not allow
`
`one device to “send data” to another device by tapping a symbol corresponding to that other device
`
`on the screen, as required by nearly all asserted claims. Third, GMM does not permit one device
`
`to “remotely control” another device, as required by the asserted claims of the ’829 Patent. Because
`
`the evidence is clear that the accused products operate in fundamentally different ways than the
`
`claimed invention, this Court should grant summary judgment of non-infringement.
`
`The evidence is equally clear that the Asserted Patents are invalid as anticipated by their
`
`ancestor, U.S. Patent No. 7,630,724 (“’724 Patent”), to which they all purport to claim priority.

`
`There is no dispute that the ’724 Patent discloses every limitation of the asserted claims. The sole
`
`dispute is whether the Asserted Patents cannot properly claim priority back to the ’724 Patent due
`
`to a broken priority chain. As a matter of law, for the Asserted Patents to claim priority to the ’724
`
`Patent, every intervening application filed between them must provide written description support
`
`for the Asserted Patents’ claims. But the record irrefutably shows that the Asserted Patents do not
`
`meet this continuity of disclosure requirement. The intervening applications that followed the ’724
`
`Patent—including U.S. Application No. 14/027,410 (“’410 Application”)—do not include written
`
`description support for the Asserted Patents’ claims and fail to incorporate the ’724 Patent by
`
`reference. As a result, the ’724 Patent is prior art to, and anticipates, all claims.
`
`Finally, because it is undisputed that Waze had no pre-suit knowledge of the ’829 or ’123
`
`Patents, this Court should grant summary judgment of no willful infringement by Waze.
`
`II.
`
`1.
`
`STATEMENT OF ISSUES TO BE DECIDED BY THE COURT
`
`Whether Google does not infringe any Asserted Patent because FMD and GMM do not
`
`satisfy the “group” limitations and other limitations required by all claims asserted against Google.
`
`2.
`
`Whether Waze does not infringe the ’829 or ’123 Patent because the Waze app and Waze
`
`Carpool do not satisfy the “group” limitations required by all claims asserted against Waze.
`
`3.
`
`Whether the asserted claims of the Asserted Patents are anticipated by the ’724 Patent
`
`because the Asserted Patents’ priority claim to the ’724 Patent is broken by intervening applications
`
`that fail to provide written description support for the claims.
`
`4.
`
`Whether Waze cannot be found to have willfully infringed the ’829 or ’123 Patent because
`
`it is undisputed Waze had no pre-suit knowledge of either patent.
`
`III.
`
`STATEMENT OF FACTS
`
`A.
`
`AGIS’s Asserted Patents And Claims
`
`The Asserted Patents share the same specification and are directed to forming “ad hoc”
`
`groups of mobile devices. Ex. 4 (’829) at Abstract. Users can join an ad hoc group by entering a

`
`group or “event name” and a “password,” without users needing to know or
`
`enter other users’ “names, telephone numbers or Email addresses.” Id. at
`
`5:23-24, 11:10-14. After joining, group participants can share and view each
`
`other’s locations on a map interface on their device screens, as shown in
`
`Figure 1 to the right. Id. at 6:14-58. Using the map interface, participants
`
`can send “data (a text message . . . or chat)” to other participants by “touching
`
`his or her symbol” on the map. Id. at 11:19-23.
`
`The specification explains that ad hoc groups are useful for “emergency groups, police, fire
`
`personal [sic], military, first responders and other groups [that] need to be able to set up ad hoc
`
`digital and voice networks easily and rapidly.” Id. at 10:35-37. The specification gives an example
`
`of firefighters forming an emergency group with the name “Katrina Fire” and coordinating their
`
`locations and activities in response to a fire. Id. at 12:15-41.
`
`AGIS asserts the following claims of the Asserted Patents against Google (“Asserted
`

`
`users’ devices in the “group.” As one example, the ’123 Patent, Claim 1 recites: “performing, by
`
`a first device: receiving a message sent by a second device, wherein the message relates to joining
`
`a group.” Claim 1 then recites that after the first device joins the group, it must both “send” its
`
`location to other devices in the group and “receive” the locations of those other devices, via a server.
`
`[first device] sending first location information to a first server and receiving
`
`second location information from the first server, the first location information
`
`comprising a location of the first device, the second location information comprising
`
`one or more locations of one or more respective second devices included in the
`
`group;
`
`This explicitly requires that the location sharing be bidirectional: each user’s device must
`
`both send and receive location information with other users’ devices in the “group.” In this manner,
`
`and consistent with the specification’s description and depiction in Figure 1, each user can access
`
`and view the locations of other users in the “group.”
`
`The term “group” has been construed to mean: “more than two participants associated
`
`together.” ECF 147 at 11. AGIS’s expert, Mr. McAlexander, conceded that within the
`
`construction, a “participant” is a “user” of a mobile device. Ex. 6 (McAlexander Dep. Tr.) at 88:25-
`
`89:4. Thus, the “group” limitations require (1) joining a group of more than two users with devices
`
`and (2) sharing location information bidirectionally among them.
`
`2.
`
`“sending data” to “selected” devices (all claims of ’251, ’838, ’123 Patents and
`
`Claims 41 and 60 of the ’829 Patent; relevant to non-infringement; see Ex. 1, § II): These
`
`limitations require that a user select a symbol on a map corresponding to another device and then
`
`“send data” to the selected device. As one example, Claim 1 of the ’838 Patent recites:
`
`identifying user interaction with the interactive display selecting one or more of the
`
`second set of user selectable symbols corresponding to one or more of the second
`
`devices and positioned on the second georeferenced map . . . and, based thereon,
`
`sending third data to the selected one or more second devices . . .
`
`3.
`
`“remote control” (all claims of ’829 Patent; relevant to non-infringement; see
`
`Ex. 1, § III): These limitations require that a “first device” engage in “remote control operations”

`
`with other devices. For example, Claim 1 of the ’829 Patent recites: “authorizing the first device
`
`to repeatedly share device location information and repeatedly engage in remote control
`
`operations with each device included in the group.”
`
`4.
`
`“georeferenced map” from “server” (all Asserted Claims; relevant to
`
`invalidity; see Ex. 1, § IV): These limitations require that a device receive a “georeferenced map”
`
`(or “georeferenced map data”) from a “server.” As one example, the ’829 Patent’s Claim 35 (from
`
`which asserted Claims 41 and 60 depend) recites that a “second device” “receiv[es], from a second
`
`server, georeferenced map data.” The specification explains that a “georeferenced map” is a map
`
`with additional data correlating the “x and y coordinates” on the screen to real-world latitude and
`
`longitude positions. Ex. 4 (’829) at 7:2-8.
`
`B.
`
`Accused Google Software Applications
`
`1.
`
`Find My Device (“FMD”)
`
`As its name suggests, FMD allows a single user to find that user’s own device(s), such as a
`
`smartphone. Ex. 7 (Wolfe Rebuttal) ¶¶ 74-75. To use FMD, the device a user is trying to locate
`
`must be connected to the user’s Google account (e.g., via a Gmail address), and the user must sign
`
`into that account. Id. ¶¶ 73, 509. If a user has multiple devices, a user can sign into their Google
`
`account through any of those devices. Id. ¶ 510. Because FMD is a single user application, the
`
`locations of a user’s devices are accessible only to that user through his or her Google account. The
`
`locations of a user’s devices
`
`cannot be accessed by other
`
`users. Id. ¶ 75. The screenshot
`
`on the left shows the user
`
`interface
`
`for FMD
`
`after
`
`opening the application and
`
`logging in. As shown, FMD
`
`displays icons corresponding
`
`to one or more of the user’s
`
`devices above the map, with three devices shown in this example. Id. ¶ 599; Ex. 9 (McAlexander

`Google) Attach. D at D-a415; see also Ex. 8 (McAlexander Google) Attach. C at C-a103. When
`
`the user selects an icon above the map for one of the devices (e.g., the phone icon), a green symbol
`
`showing the location of the selected device appears on the map, and a menu of options with respect
`
`to the selected device appears below the map. Ex. 7 (Wolfe Rebuttal) ¶ 599. As shown in the
`
`screenshot on the right, selecting the symbol for a device on the map displays the device’s
`
`remaining battery capacity and wireless signal strength. Ex. 14 (AGIS-GOOGLE00001445).
`
`Selecting the symbol does not send data to the corresponding device. Ex. 7 (Wolfe Rebuttal) ¶ 599.
`
`2.
`
`Google Maps Mobile (“GMM”)
`
`GMM is an application that provides mapping and navigation. Id. ¶ 80. It also allows a
`
`user to share its location with another user, which is the feature accused by AGIS. As detailed
`
`below, there are two ways a user can share location: (1) selecting another user’s Google Account
`
`ID (“GAIA”), or (2) sending a URL link via a messaging application. Id. ¶¶ 88-92.
`
`Location sharing via GAIA: Sharing location via GAIA occurs as a one-way share
`
`between two users via their GAIAs: (1) a sender’s GAIA (Person A) to (2) a recipient’s GAIA
`
`(Person B). Id. ¶ 89. The screenshots below show the user interface for GAIA sharing location.

`
`device’s location (denoted “Andrew Wolfe”) on a map and shares that location with another,
`
`recipient identified by the recipient’s GAIA under “Share your real-time location.” Id. ¶ 88. (In
`
`this example, to test the accused feature, Defendants’ expert Dr. Andrew Wolfe shared his location
`
`with another, recipient device logged into the same GAIA belonging to “Andrew Wolfe.”) When
`
`a location is shared via GAIA, the recipient (Person B) receives a notification. Clicking the
`
`notification opens GMM on Person B’s phone and shows the location of Person A’s device on the
`
`map, as shown in the screenshot above on the right. Importantly, the location share is one-way:
`
`the device of the receiving GAIA (Person B) does not automatically share its location back to the
`
`sender (Person A). Id. ¶ 89. Instead, if the recipient wants to share their device’s location with the
`
`sender, the recipient must initiate and create a separate location-share. Id.
`
`Location sharing via URL link: Like sharing location via GAIA, sharing location via
`
`URL link occurs as a one-way link shared between two users, a sender and recipient. Id. ¶¶ 90-94.
`
`The screenshots below show the interface on the sender’s device for sharing location via URL link.
`
`Sender’s Screen: User Interface Flow For Location Sharing Via URL Link
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`To share via URL link, the sender must select a messaging application. Here, in the left-
`
`most screenshot, the sender selects the “Messages” application, which opens up a menu of existing
`
`text message conversations. Id. As shown in the middle screenshot, the sender selects the

`
`conversation with “(408) 394-1096,” which opens up that conversation. Id. GMM populates the
`
`message box with a URL link, which the sender can send to the recipient. Id.
`
`If the recipient clicks on the URL link, GMM opens on the recipient’s phone and shows the
`
`location of the sender’s device on the map in the same manner as GAIA location sharing, discussed
`
`above. The sender can send the URL link to multiple users, each of whom can access it to see the
`
`sender’s location. Id. But again, the location share is one-way only: the recipient devices do not
`
`automatically send their location back to the sender, as recipients cannot send their locations back
`
`to the sender using the same URL link. Id. Instead, each recipient of a location-share who wants
`
`to share their own device location with the sender must create and share a new URL link. Id.
`
`After receiving and viewing the sender’s shared location in GMM, the recipient can tap the
`
`symbol corresponding to a sender’s location on the map, which opens up a menu of four options,
`
`shown in the screenshot below. Id. ¶¶ 604-606. None of the four options send any data to the
`
`sender’s device. Id. Rather, each of the menu options only affects what
`
`is displayed on the recipient’s device:
`
` “Refresh” pulls updated location data, if available, from the Google
`
`server, about the sender’s device and does not send any data to the
`
`sender device. Id.
`
` “Add to Home screen” adds a shortcut on the main screen of the
`
`recipient’s device and does not send data to the sender’s device. Id.
`
` “Hide [user] from map” hides the symbol corresponding to the
`
`sender’s device and does not transmit any data to the sender. Id.
`
` “Block” blocks the user corresponding to the sender’s device and
`
`prevents location sharing between the sender and recipient, but does
`
`not send any data to the sender’s device. Id.
