`
`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”), 6,329,794 (the “’794 Patent”), and 6,430,498 (the “’498 Patent”) (collectively, the
`
`“Patents-in-Suit”).1 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
`
`
`1 In its Complaint, Maxell also asserted infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,408,193 (the “’193
`Patent”), 10,084,991 (the “’991 Patent”), 6,928,306 (the “’306 Patent”), and 10,212,586 (the
`“’586 Patent”). In compliance with the Court’s Order on narrowing (Dkt. No. 619), Maxell has
`not selected these patents for presentation at the March 2021 trial scheduled for this case.

`
`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. Further, the ’317 patent, the ’498 patent, and the ’999 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
`
`herein.

`
`b. Under the second infringement theory, the “Apple Watch Theory,” Maxell

`
`for sell, and/or importing into the United States the following products: Apple Watch Series 5
`
`(A2092/A2093/A2094/A2095),

`10. Maxell contends that Apple infringes, literally and under the doctrine of equivalents, claims

`
`Watch 1st Generation (A1553/A1554) (“the ’794 Accused Products”).
`
`11. Maxell has contended, based on the sales information Apple provided through the first
`
`quarter of 2020, that a reasonable royalty for the infringement of the ten initially asserted patents
`
`would be at least $
`
` through trial. However, Maxell’s expert has revised her
`
`calculations in light of (1) the expected production of Apple’s updated sales information; (2) the
`
`9
`
`PUBLIC VERSION
`
`
`
`Case 5:19-cv-00036-RWS Document 641 Filed 03/03/21 Page 10 of 44 PageID #: 32606
`
`
`
`Court’s order on summary judgment related to notice (D.I. 586); and (3) the narrowing of the case.
`
`Maxell currently contends that the reasonable royalty for the infringement of the six patents
`
`selected for trial would be at least $
`
` through trial under Maxell’s notice scenario and
`
`at least $
`
` through trial under Apple’s alternative notice scenario.2
`
`12. Should Apple provide additional updated sales information, further updates would be
`
`expected in advance of trial. Maxell would revise its reasonable royalty figures to reflect such
`
`updates.
`
`13. Maxell contends that Apple cannot prove by the appropriate burden any of its affirmative
`
`defenses.
`
`14. Maxell contends Apple’s alleged infringement is willful.
`
`15. Maxell contends it is entitled to prejudgment interest.
`
`16. Maxell contends it is entitled to enhanced damages.
`
`17. Maxell contends that this is an exceptional case warranting an award of attorneys’ fees.
`
`18. Maxell contends that it, and all its predecessors in interest, have complied with 35 U.S.C.
`
`§ 287 as asserted in this case.
`
`19. Maxell contends that it is entitled to an injunction against Apple. In the alternative, Maxell
`
`contends that any denial of an injunction should be conditioned on payment of reasonable royalties
`
`for future infringement, including during any stay of an injunction pending appeal.
`
`20. Maxell denies Apple’s defenses that the patents-in-suit are invalid, unenforceable, and not
`
`infringed by Apple.
`
`
`2 Under Maxell’s notice scenario (as adjusted by the Court’s order on summary judgment (D.I.
`586), Apple had notice of its infringement of the ’317, ’999, ’498, and ’493 by at least December
`2013, and of the remaining patents by no later than May 2018. Under Apple’s alternative
`scenario, Apple had notice of its infringement of only the ’317 patent by at least December 2013,
`and of the remaining patents by no later than May 2018.

`
`
`
`21. Maxell denies that Apple is entitled to its costs, a declaration that this case is exceptional,
`
`or its attorneys’ fees.
`
`22. Because Apple objects to including the details of the representative products stipulation in
`
`the “Stipulations” section of this Order, which are also set forth in the February 10, 2021, Joint
`
`Stipulation Regarding Representative Products for Trial, Maxell includes them in its own
`
`contentions section as follows:3
`
`For purposes of narrowing the issues for trial in this case only, the parties agreed that
`
`certain products may be treated as representative of other products and that proof of
`
`infringement or non-infringement of such representative products shall be treated as proof
`
`as to the others. Specifically, for the purposes of infringement or non-infringement in this
`
`case, the parties may treat the following products as representative of all of the accused
`
`products for a particular Patent-in-Suit and proof of infringement or non- infringement
`
`about the following products shall be treated as proof regarding all of the accused products
`
`for a particular Patent-in-Suit:
`
`
`
`’317 Patent: iPhone 11 executing iOS 13 (A2111) is representative of all ’317 Accused
`
`Products.
`
`
`
`’999 Patent: iPhone 11 executing iOS 13 (A2111) is representative of all ’999 Accused
`
`Products.
`
`
`
`’498 Patent: iPhone 11 executing iOS 13 (A2111) is representative of all ’498 Accused
`
`Products.
`
`
`
`’493 Patent: iPhone 8 executing iOS 11 (A1863/A1905) is representative of all ’493
`
`
`3 Although Apple objects the recitation of the representative products stipulation is “inaccurate,”
`Apple provides no example of any actual inaccuracy. Apple also has no explanation for why the
`substance of the stipulation should be excluded.

`
`
`
`’794 Patent: iPhone 8 executing iOS 11 (A1863/A1905) is representative of all ’794
`
`Accused Products that are iPhones, except that the iPhone 11 executing iOS 13 (A2111) is
`

`Express Transit Mode. iPad 6th Generation executing iOS 11 (A1893/A1954) and the iPad
`
`7th Generation executing iOS 13 (A2200/A2198/A2197) are equivalent for purposes of the

`representative of all ’794 Accused Products that are watches.
`
`
`
`’438 Patent: iPhone 11 executing iOS 13 (A2111) used in conjunction with any iOS device
`
`(e.g., iPad Mini executing iOS 8 (A1432) or iPhone 8 (A1863/A1905) or iPod Touch 6th
`
`generation (A1574)) is representative of all ’438 Accused Products accused of infringing
`
`the ’438 Patent by implementing AirDrop. iPhone 11 executing iOS 13 (A2111) used in
`
`conjunction with Apple Watch Series 5 executing watchOS 6 (A2094) is representative of
`
`all ’438 Accused Products accused of infringing the ’438 Patent by pairing with an Apple
`
`Watch. Apple Watch Series 5 executing watchOS 6 (A2094) used in conjunction with
`
`iPhone 11 executing iOS 13 (A2111) is representative of all ’438 Accused Products
`
`accused of infringing the ’438 Patent by pairing with an Apple iPhone.
`
` All Patents: A representative version of an operations system (e.g., iOS 13, watchOS 6)
`
`includes any of the subversions thereof (e.g., iOS 13.1, 13.2, watchOS 6.1, 6.2).
`
`Apple’s Statement of Its Contentions
`
`Apple provides the following statement of contentions without waiver of any affirmative
`
`
`
`defense pled, any response given during discovery, or any opinion expressed by Apple’s experts.

`
`
`
`By providing these contentions, Apple does not waive any of its motions in limine, motions for
`
`summary judgment, Daubert motions, and/or motions to strike.
`
`1. Apple contends that it has not infringed any asserted claim of the Patents-in-Suit, either
`
`literally or under the doctrine of equivalents.4
`
`2. Apple contends that prosecution history estoppel bars Maxell’s contention that the Apple
`
`accused products infringe the ’794 patent under the doctrine of equivalents.
`
`3. Apple contends that prosecution history estoppel bars Maxell’s contention that the Apple
`
`accused products infringe the ’493 patent under the doctrine of equivalents.
`
`4. Apple contends that the asserted claims of the Patents-in-Suit are invalid as obvious and
`
`anticipated by the prior art under 35 U.S.C. §§ 102 and/or 103.
`
`5. Apple contends that the asserted claims of the walking navigation patents—the ’317 patent,
`
`the ’498 patent, and the ’999 patent—are invalid for failure to claim patent-eligible subject matter
`
`under 35 U.S.C. § 101. The Court has already determined that the asserted claims of these three
`
`patents are directed to the abstract idea of directing a user from one location to another. Dkt. No.
`
`586. In addition, the elements in each of these asserted claims, taken individually and as a
`
`combination, recite only well-understood, routine, or conventional activity or components, as both
`
`the patents’ common specification and the state of the art make plain.
`
`6. Japanese Patent Publication No. 2003-006110 to Yamazaki (“Yamazaki”) is prior art to the
`
`’438 patent under at least 35 U.S.C. § 102(a).
`
`7. U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2003/0149874 to Balfanz (“Balfanz”) is prior art
`
`
`4 Apple objects to the paragraph in Maxell’s Statement of its Contentions regarding
`representative products. Maxell’s characterization of the February 10, 2021, Joint Stipulation
`Regarding Representative Products for Trial (Dkt. No. 625) is inaccurate. The Joint Stipulation
`speaks for itself, and need not be reproduced in this Order. Apple also objects in that Maxell’s
`statement incorrectly suggests that Apple has a burden of proof on non-infringement.

`art to the ’317 patent, ’498 patent, and ’999 patent, under at least 35 U.S.C. § 102 (a) and (g).
`
`Apple asserts the NavTalk prior art against the ’317 patent, ’498 patent, and ’999 patent.
`
`12. Japanese Patent Publication No. JPH10-197277 to Maruyama et al. (“Maruyama”) is prior
`
`art to the ’317 patent, ’498 patent, and ’999 patent, under at least 35 U.S.C. § 102(a). Apple asserts
`
`the Maruyama reference against the ’317 patent, ’498 patent, and ’999 patent.

`
`Maxell is not entitled to any monetary damages under any theory, including a reasonably royalty

`
`Additional Trial Procedure Stipulations
`
`1. The parties have agreed that each side will make the individuals who submitted expert
`
`reports in this case available to testify at trial, either in person or through remote live testimony or
`
`a trial deposition, and that neither side needs to designate the deposition testimony of the other

`
`exhibit list is provided for convenience only and shall not be used as an admission or otherwise as
`
`evidence regarding that document.
