`
`
`
`
`IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
`FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS
`TEXARKANA DIVISION
`
`MAXELL, LTD.,
`
`
`
`Plaintiff
`
`Civil Action NO. 5:19-cv-00036-RWS
`
`v.
`
`APPLE INC.,
`
`Defendant.
`
`JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`APPLE’S PRELIMINARY ELECTION OF PRIOR ART
`
`Pursuant to the Court’s Order Focusing Patent Claims and Prior Art to Reduce Costs (D.I.
`
`44) and Docket Control Order (D.I. 46), Defendant Apple Inc. (“Apple”) hereby discloses its
`
`Preliminary Election of Prior Art for the elected claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,329,794 (“’794
`
`patent”), 6,408,193 (“’193 patent”), 6,430,498 (“’498 patent”), 6,580,999 (“’999 patent”),
`
`6,748,317 (“’317 patent”), 6,928,306 (“’306 patent”), 7,116,438 (“’438 patent”), 8,339,493
`
`(“’493 patent”), 10,212,586 (“’586 patent”), and 10,084,991 (“’991 patent”) (collectively, the
`
`“Asserted Patents”) disclosed by Plaintiff Maxell, Ltd. (“Maxell”).
`
`Apple’s election of prior art is preliminary in nature and based only upon Apple’s
`
`knowledge at this time. Apple expressly reserves the right to amend its election of prior art,
`
`subject to and in accordance with this Court’s Local Rules and any Orders issued by this Court.
`
`Maxell’s Infringement Contentions wholly fail to put Apple on notice of Plaintiff’s
`
`theories of infringement for reasons set forth in, for example, Apple’s Motion to Compel
`
`Compliant Infringement Contentions under P.R. 3-1(g) (D.I. 123). As of the date of this
`
`1
`
`

`

`Case 5:19-cv-00036-RWS Document 494-2 Filed 08/10/20 Page 3 of 8 PageID #: 26878
`
`
`disclosure, Apple has yet to receive infringement contentions compliant with the local Patent
`
`Rules that set forth Maxell’s infringement theories with respect to the source code produced by
`
`Apple. Thus, Apple’s preliminary election of prior art is based on information known to date,
`
`including Apple’s current understanding of Maxell’s deficient infringement contentions. Apple
`
`reserves the right to amend its election of prior art as appropriate, including in response to any
`
`amendments and/or supplement to Maxell’s Infringement Contentions. Apple also reserves the
`
`right to amend its election of prior art in view of additional information and/or documents
`
`obtained through such discovery, including, for example, any information indicating that any
`
`Asserted Patent is not entitled to the priority date asserted by Maxell in its P.R. 3-1 disclosures.

`
`
`2 To the extent Maxell contests the prior art status of Juen ’162, Apple also elects Japanese
`Patent Application Publication No. H10-108121, published on April 24, 1998 (“Juen ’121”),
`which was filed by the same inventor and contains the same disclosure as Juen ’162. The
`Court’s Focusing Order specifies that “closely related work of a single prior artist” counts as a
`single reference. D.I. 44 at 1 n. 1.
`3 Apple has filed a Motion for Leave to Supplement Its Invalidity Contentions to add Casio QV-
`8000SX. See D.I. 130. Should the Court deny Apple’s motion for leave, Apple elects U.S.
`Patent No. 6,335,760 (“Sato ’760”) instead of Casio QV-8000SX as prior art item 13.
