`
`STATEMENT OF JURISDICTION
`
`This is a civil action arising under the Patent Laws of the United States, 35 U.S.C. § 101, et
`
`B.
`
`seq. The Court has subject matter jurisdiction over this action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 and
`
`1338(a). Jurisdiction is not contested by any party.
`
`C.
`
`NATURE OF ACTION
`
`Maxell’s Statement
`
`This is a suit for patent infringement under 35 U.S.C. § 271. Apple infringes, literally or
`
`under the doctrine of equivalents, one or more claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,748,317 (the “’317
`
`Patent”), 6,580,999 (the “’999 Patent”), 8,339,493 (the “’493 Patent”), 7,116,438 (the “’438
`
`Patent”), 6,408,193 (the “’193 Patent”), 10,084,991 (the “’991 Patent”), 6,928,306 (the “’306
`
`Patent”), 6,329,794 (the “’794 Patent”), 10,212,586 (the “’586 Patent”), and 6,430,498 (the “’498
`
`Patent”) (collectively, the “Patents-in-Suit”). Further, Apple’s infringement is and has been willful.
`
`Maxell seeks an injunction and both pre- and post-verdict damages to compensate Maxell for
`
`Apple’s acts of infringement, but in no event less than a reasonable royalty for the infringement.
`
`Maxell also seeks enhanced damages pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 284 and recovery of its attorneys’
`
`fees pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 285, as well as its costs.

`
`
`
`Apple’s Statement
`
`Maxell’s claims are without merit. Apple does not infringe any asserted claim of the
`
`Patents-in-Suit, either literally or under the doctrine of equivalents. Moreover, Apple’s alleged
`
`infringement of the Patents-in-Suit has not been, and is not, willful. Additionally, each of the
`
`asserted claims of the Patents-in-Suit is invalid as anticipated or obvious under 35 U.S.C. §§ 102
`
`and/or 103. Additionally, the ’586 patent is invalid and void for failure to comply with the
`
`requirements of 35 U.S.C § 112. Further, the ’317 patent, the ’498 patent, the ’999 patent, the
`
`’306 patent, and the ’794 patent are invalid for failing to claim patent-eligible subject matter under
`
`35 U.S.C. § 101.
`
`Maxell is not entitled to any relief, including injunctive relief or monetary damages.
`
`Maxell is not entitled to enhanced damages, nor is this an exceptional case entitling Maxell to its
`
`attorneys’ fees and costs. Apple, however, is entitled to recovery of its attorneys’ fees under 35
`
`U.S.C. § 285, as well as its costs, and any other relief the Court deems appropriate.
`
`D.
`
`
`
`CONTENTIONS OF THE PARTIES
`
`The parties set forth below a summary of their contentions for trial. The parties do not
`
`necessarily agree with each other’s summaries and contentions and reserve all objections.
`
`Maxell’s Statement of Its Contentions
`
`By providing these contentions, Maxell does not waive any of its motions in limine,
`
`
`
`motions for summary judgment, Daubert motions, and/or motions to strike which, if granted,
`
`would resolve some or all of these issues. Furthermore, Maxell’s contentions in this case are
`
`detailed, in part, in its pleadings, infringement contentions, discovery responses and deposition
`
`testimony, the expert reports and depositions of Maxell’s experts, and its motion briefing and
`
`responses to Apple’s pending and anticipated motions, which are all incorporated by reference

`
`15. Maxell contends, based on the sales information Apple provided through the first quarter
`
`of 2020, that a reasonable royalty for the infringement would be $
`
` through trial.1
`
`
`1 Apple’s expert Lance Gunderson has offered a “Scenario 3” for calculating damages in his
`expert report, based on alternative dates by which Apple had notice of the asserted patents.
`Under Mr. Gunderson’s “Scenario,” a reasonable royalty for Apple’s infringement would be
`$
` through trial. This is not a belated effort by Maxell to supplement the record.
`Maxell provided this position to Apple prior to the depositions of both Ms. Mulhern (Maxell’s
`damages expert) and Mr. Gunderson (Apple’s damages expert).
