`
`
`
`1. Introduction
`
`Retro does not belong in this patent infringement case. The Complaint alleges infringe-
`
`ment based on the use of over-the-air updates to Nintendo game consoles, and then verification of
`
`the updates on the Nintendo game consoles. Because Retro is a game development studio and has
`
`no involvement in either of these activities, there can be no dispute of material fact that Retro does
`
`not infringe the asserted patent.
`
`Retro previously moved to dismiss the Complaint because Ancora failed to plead any ac-
`
`tivities performed by Retro, as opposed to Retro’s parent, Nintendo Co., Ltd. (“NCL”). See
`
`Dkt. 17 (“Motion to Dismiss”). Ancora’s recently-served preliminary infringement contentions
`
`(“PICs”) now confirm that all of the allegedly infringing activities are activities performed by NCL
`
`or non-party Nintendo of America Inc. (“NOA”), and not Retro.
`
`Ancora makes only two, faulty attempts to implicate Retro. First, Ancora relies on a state-
`
`ment in an unrelated complaint by NOA that does not mention Retro at all, but says that game
`
`software and system software (e.g., the operating system) use similar security measures. But as
`
`explained by the sworn declarations attached hereto, NCL—not Retro—is responsible for the se-
`
`curity measures for both game software and system software. Second, Ancora presents unsup-
`
`ported allegations that Retro controls the over-the-air update and verification processes. But far
`
`from controlling those processes, Retro has essentially no involvement in either.
`
`Retro is not responsible for and does not perform the functionality accused of infringement,
`
`so judgment of non-infringement is appropriate as to Retro.
`
`2. Relevant Facts
`
`2.1 The Complaint
`
`The Complaint names NCL and Retro as defendants. Ancora accuses NCL and Retro of
`
`directly infringing U.S. Patent No. 6,411,941 (“the ’941 patent”). Compl. (Dkt. 1), ¶ 34. The ’941
`
`
`-1-
`
`

`

`Case 6:21-cv-00738-ADA Document 22 Filed 10/28/21 Page 5 of 14
`
`
`
`patent expired over three years ago. See ’941 Patent (Dkt. 17-2) (priority claim to 1998). Ancora
`
`does not allege that Retro indirectly infringes the ’941 patent, presumably because Ancora gave
`
`no pre-expiration notice of the patent.
`
`2.2 Retro Studios, NCL, and NOA
`
`Retro is a game development studio that develops games for Nintendo game consoles. Lit-
`
`tle Decl., ¶ 4; Compl. ¶ 4. Retro is one among hundreds of game developers that develop games
`
`for Nintendo game consoles, and it has developed six game titles. Dkt. 17-3 (www.retrostu-
`
`dios.com/games/). Retro submits the games it develops to NOA and NCL for approval. Little
`
`Decl., ¶¶ 5‒6. After submitting a game to NOA and NCL, Retro has no involvement in the sales
`
`or distribution of that game to end users or to Nintendo game consoles. Id. Retro does not develop
`
`software for any Nintendo over-the-air update server, or any game console system software (i.e.,
`
`the operating system and boot-related software). Little Decl., ¶¶ 10‒12.
`
`NCL and NOA are responsible for the distribution, sales, and delivery of the games that
`
`Retro develops, as well as for the Nintendo game consoles themselves. NCL is responsible for
`
`designing and coordinating manufacture of Nintendo game consoles. Tokunaga Decl., ¶¶ 5‒9;
`
`Wada Decl., ¶¶ 5‒9. NOA is responsible for sales and distribution of the Nintendo game consoles
`
`in the United States. Kiel Decl., ¶ 5. When Retro delivers game software to NCL and NOA for
`
`approval, it is NCL and NOA that approve, package, and deliver that game software to game con-
`
`soles in any over-the-air updates. Little Decl., ¶¶ 5‒6; Tokunaga Decl., ¶¶ 10‒14; Wada Decl.,
`
`¶¶ 10‒13. The software on the game consoles that performs the alleged “verification” and instal-
`
`lation of the game update is developed by NCL. Tokunaga Decl., ¶¶ 7‒11, 15‒17; Wada Decl.,
`
`¶¶ 7‒11, 14‒16.
`
`2.3 The ’941 Patent
`
`The ’941 patent describes a method of using license information to verify that software is
`
`
`-2-
`
`

`

`Case 6:21-cv-00738-ADA Document 22 Filed 10/28/21 Page 6 of 14
`
`
`
`licensed. Ancora asserts claims 1, 2, 6, 7, and 9‒12, all of which are methods. PICs, p. 1.1 The
`
`alleged point of novelty of the claims is that a license record for the software is stored in the BIOS
`
`memory, as opposed to some other memory. See Ancora Techs., Inc. v. HTC Am., Inc., 908 F.3d
`
`1343, 1345 (Fed. Cir. 2018) (explaining the “asserted innovation of the patent”). This was a pur-
`
`ported improvement over existing computer security because “successfully hacking BIOS memory
`
`(i.e., altering it without rendering the computer inoperable) is much harder than hacking” the
`
`memory previously used for storing license-verification information. Id.
`
`2.4 The Infringement Allegations
`
`In the Motion to Dismiss, Retro explained Ancora’s failure to plead infringing acts by
`
`Retro. Motion to Dismiss, pp. 4‒5. Retro noted that the Complaint failed to describe any actions
`
`by Retro with respect to the over-the-air update process. Id. at 4. Retro described how the Com-
`
`plaint did not even allege that any Retro games were accused products. Id. at 4‒5. Retro noted
`
`how the allegations against Retro were based on Ancora’s definition of “Nintendo” as including
`
`Retro and NCL, and then describing acts by NCL as being performed by “Nintendo.” Id.
`
`Ancora served PICs after Retro’s Motion to Dismiss. The PICs identify three groups of
`
`accused products: the Nintendo Switch (PICs, Exs. A‒B); the Nintendo 2DS and 3DS (PICs,
`
`Exs. C‒D); and the Nintendo Wii and Wii U (PICs, Exs. E‒F). For each group, Ancora identifies
`
`the accused products as Nintendo game consoles or controllers, as well as a single Retro game.
`
`PICs, Exs. A, C, E. In the claim charts, Ancora maps each step of the asserted methods to alleged
`
`functionality of Nintendo over-the-air update servers and alleged functionality of Nintendo game
`
`consoles that receive and install an over-the-air update. See generally, PICs, Exs. B, D, F.2 As
`
`
`1 The PICs are attached as Exhibit 1 to the Declaration of Kyle R. Canavera. The PICs them-
`selves contain six exhibits, which are cited herein as “PICs, Ex. A, p. 1” and similar.
`2 The PICs rely on third-party documents describing alleged functionality of Nintendo game
`consoles. Only for the purposes of this motion, Retro will treat those descriptions as accurate.

`Case 6:21-cv-00738-ADA Document 22 Filed 10/28/21 Page 7 of 14
`
`
`
`the phrase is used by Ancora in its PICs against NCL and Retro, an “over-the-air” update is the
`
`downloading of a software update package from a server to a game console. See, e.g., PICs, Ex. B,
`
`p. 4. Ancora alleges that, after a Nintendo game console downloads a software update package,
`
`the console verifies that the software update package is licensed and then installs it. See, e.g., id.
`
`at 30‒31. As to verification, Ancora specifically points to activities allegedly performed by boot-
`
`related software on the consoles. See, e.g., id. at 17‒20, 22‒29, 31‒40, 42‒49. Ancora alleges
`
`that these over-the-air update, verification, and installation activities infringe the asserted claims.
`
`Ancora does not point to any functionality of Retro game software as performing the steps of the
`
`asserted methods. See generally PICs, Exs. B, D, F.
`
`In its PICs, Ancora makes two attempts to implicate Retro in the activities performed by
`
`Nintendo servers or Nintendo console system software.
`
`First, Ancora alleges that Retro game software actually performs all of the same activities
`
`as the servers and console system software, relying on a single paragraph in a complaint filed by
`
`non-party NOA. See, PICs, Ex. B, p. 14 (citing Paragraph 55 of Dkt. 17-7). In that complaint,
`
`NOA explained the way in which encryption is used to prevent piracy of the operating system
`
`software on game consoles. See Dkt. 17-7, ¶¶ 49‒58. In Paragraph 55, NOA explained that game
`
`consoles “employ encryption and signature checks” similar to those used for the operating system
`
`in order to prevent piracy of game software. Id. ¶ 55. In its PICs, Ancora alleges that Retro per-
`
`forms every step of every asserted method based solely on the statement in Paragraph 55. See,
`
`e.g., PICs, Ex. B, pp. 14, 20‒21, 30, 40‒41, 49, 53‒54, 59, 66, 70‒71, 80‒81, 81‒82, 90‒91. The
`
`PICs contain, in effect, a claim chart against NCL, with Paragraph 55 acting as a copy-and-paste
`
`stand-in for “Retro too.”
`
`Second, Ancora reaches for various alternative infringement theories that are premised on
`
`an unsupported (and incorrect) allegation that Retro controls the over-the-air update process and
`
`
`-4-
`
`

`

`Case 6:21-cv-00738-ADA Document 22 Filed 10/28/21 Page 8 of 14
`
`
`
`console security measures. Ancora alleges that Retro performs one or more of the claimed method
`
`steps and then causes the remaining method steps to be performed. See Ex. B, p. 14 (relying on
`
`SiRF Tech., Inc. v. ITC, 601 F.3d 1319 (Fed. Cir. 2010)). Ancora alleges that Retro directs or
`
`controls third parties to perform the claimed method steps. See id. (relying on Akamai Techs., Inc.
`
`v. Limelight Networks, Inc., 797 F.3d 1020 (Fed. Cir. 2015)). For both the SiRF and Akamai the-
`
`ories, Ancora cites no evidence other than, in some cases, an NOA webpage showing that game
`
`updates exist (PICs, Ex. B, p. 14‒15; PICs, Ex. F, pp. 14‒15), and in some cases, nothing at all
`
`(PICs, Ex. D, p. 11). As explained below, Retro does not perform any of the steps of the claimed
`
`methods, does not cause any of them to be performed, and does not control the allegedly infringing
`
`activity.
`
`3. Legal Standard
`
`Summary judgment is appropriate “if the movant shows that there is no genuine dispute as
`
`to any material fact and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.”
`
`Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(a); Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 322 (1986). “Direct infringement
`
`under § 271(a) occurs where all steps of a claimed method are performed by or attributable to a
`
`single entity.” Akamai, 797 F.3d at 1022.
`
`4. Retro does not perform the actions that Ancora alleges constitute infringement.
`
`Summary judgment is appropriate because Retro does not perform the actions that Ancora
`
`alleges constitute infringement. Ancora alleges in its PICs that activities performed by Nintendo
`
`over-the-air update servers and Nintendo game console system software collectively result in per-
`
`formance of the asserted methods. But Retro does not perform any of these activities. Ancora’s
`
`attempts to fill that hole factually (with Paragraph 55) and legally (with reliance on SiRF and
`
`Akamai) fall far short of showing that Retro performs any, much less all, of the steps of the asserted
`
`claims. As the sworn declarations accompanying this motion explain, Retro is simply not involved
`
`
`-5-
`
`

`

`Case 6:21-cv-00738-ADA Document 22 Filed 10/28/21 Page 9 of 14
`
`
`
`in the activities that Ancora alleges constitute infringement.
`
`4.1 Retro is not responsible for the server software and game console system software
`accused of practicing the asserted claims.
`
`Retro does not infringe the asserted claims because it does not develop and is not respon-
`
`sible for the software that Ancora alleges performs the asserted method.
`
`In the hundreds of pages of claim charts in the PICs, Ancora identifies only activities per-
`
`formed by Nintendo over-the-air update servers and Nintendo game console system software as
`
`infringing the asserted claims. For the preamble of claim 1, Ancora cites information about Nin-
`
`tendo game console hardware and webpages showing that console system software and game soft-
`
`ware can be updated. See, e.g., PICs, Ex. B, pp. 2‒15. For all of the steps of claim 1, Ancora cites
`
`to information describing the activities allegedly performed by boot-related software and operating
`
`system software on the Nintendo game consoles. See, e.g., id. at 15‒21 (“selecting” step), 21‒30
`
`(“using an agent” step), 30‒41 (“verifying” step), and 41‒49 (“acting” step). For the dependent
`
`claims, Ancora likewise cites only information describing the over-the-air update server, the boot-
`
`related software on the game consoles, and the operating system software on the game consoles.
`
`See, e.g., id. at 49‒54 (claim 2), 55 (claim 6), 56‒66 (claim 7), 67‒81 (claim 9), 81‒82 (claim 10),
`
`82‒83 (claim 11), 84‒91 (claim 12).
`
`But Retro does not develop the software that Ancora accuses of infringement. Retro does
`
`not develop the over-the-air update server software, rather NCL does. Little Decl., ¶ 12; Tokunaga
`
`Decl., ¶ 10; Wada Decl., ¶ 10. Retro is not responsible for the operation of those servers, rather
`
`NCL and NOA are. Little Decl., ¶¶ 12‒14; Tokunaga Decl., ¶¶ 10‒14; Wada Decl., ¶¶ 10‒13.
`
`Retro does not develop the boot-related software on the game consoles, rather NCL does. Little
`
`Decl., ¶¶ 10, 16; Tokunaga Decl., ¶¶ 7‒8, 16; Wada Decl., ¶¶ 7‒8, 15. Retro does not develop the
`
`operating system software on the game consoles, rather NCL does. Little Decl., ¶ 11; Tokunaga
`
`
`-6-
`
`

`

`Case 6:21-cv-00738-ADA Document 22 Filed 10/28/21 Page 10 of 14
`
`
`
`Decl., ¶ 9; Wada Decl., ¶ 9. Retro does not design or manufacture the hardware in the game con-
`
`soles, rather NCL and other third-parties do. Little Decl., ¶¶ 8‒9; Tokunaga Decl., ¶¶ 5‒6; Wada
`
`Decl., ¶¶ 5‒6. Retro does not sell game consoles or game software to end users. Little Decl., ¶¶ 4‒
`
`6. In the United States, NOA does. Kiel Decl., ¶ 5.
`
`Rather, Retro develops game software, and that game software is incapable of performing
`
`any of the steps of the asserted claims. Retro develops only the content of the games themselves.
`
`Little Decl., ¶¶ 4, 12. Retro does not develop software that delivers the games to the consoles or
`
`that install the games on the consoles. Little Decl., ¶ 12. Retro’s game software does not perform
`
`any encryption, signature checking, copy protection, or digital rights management functions. Little
`
`Decl., ¶¶ 16‒17.
`
`In sum, the software that Ancora accuses of infringement is not Retro’s, so Retro does not
`
`practice even a single step of any of the asserted claims.
`
`4.2 Ancora’s reliance on an unrelated third-party complaint does not implicate any
`activities by Retro.
`
`Ancora’s reliance on Paragraph 55 of the unrelated NOA complaint does nothing to im-
`
`prove Ancora’s case against Retro. As Paragraph 55 states, the technological measures for games
`
`“employ encryption and signature checks similar to that of the Nintendo Switch’s operating system
`
`described above.” Dkt. 17-7, ¶ 55. As just explained, Retro’s game software does not perform
`
`encryption and signature checking. Little Decl., ¶¶ 16‒17. Rather, it is the console system soft-
`
`ware, developed by NCL, that performs the encryption and signature checking activities with re-
`
`spect to games. Tokunaga Decl., ¶¶ 7‒9, 16‒17; Wada Decl., ¶¶ 7‒9, 15‒16. Thus, Ancora’s
`
`attempt to copy and paste its allegations for console system software (NCL) onto game software
`
`(Retro) is circular because it still only implicates NCL.
`
`Furthermore, Ancora does not even have a reasonable basis for using the NOA complaint
`
`
`-7-
`
`

`

`Case 6:21-cv-00738-ADA Document 22 Filed 10/28/21 Page 11 of 14
`
`
`
`to make allegations against Retro. That complaint describes activities by “Nintendo,” defined
`
`therein as NCL and NOA. See Dkt. 17-7, ¶ 1. The document explains that “Nintendo,”—again,
`
`NCL and NOA—implemented “technological security protections” in the Nintendo game con-
`
`soles. See id. at ¶ 48. Those are the “technological measures” described in the paragraphs leading
`
`up to and including Paragraph 55. See id. at ¶¶ 48–55. The NOA complaint could not be any
`
`clearer that it is NCL and NOA, not Retro, that are responsible for the product features referenced
`
`in Paragraph 55, the same ones that Ancora now attempts to attribute to Retro.
`
`4.3 Ancora’s reliance on SiRF is misplaced, because Retro does not cause any of the
`steps of the asserted claims to be performed.
`
`Ancora’s attempt to use SiRF to implicate Retro is also misplaced because, unlike in SiRF,
`
`Retro neither performs any of the method steps nor causes any of them to be performed. In SiRF,
`
`the defendant made GPS chips incorporated in end-user devices. SiRF, 601 F.3d at 1323‒24.
`
`Those GPS devices interacted with defendant’s own servers to receive files used for GPS opera-
`
`tion. Id. The court found that defendant’s server performed one of the steps of the asserted method
`
`claim, and that the server caused the GPS devices to automatically perform the remaining steps of
`
`the asserted method claim. Id. at 1329‒31. Based on these and other facts unique to that case, the
`
`court found that the defendant performed all of the steps of the asserted method claim. Id.
`
`Ancora attempts to invoke SiRF by alleging (1) that Retro “perform[s] one or more claimed
`
`method steps that cause each remaining method step to be performed automatically on each Ac-
`
`cused Switch Product,” and (2) “by maintaining end-to-end control over the Accused Switch
`
`Produ[c]t’s installation of any OTA update to an Accused Game Product.” See, e.g., PICs, Ex. B,
`
`p. 14. Both of these propositions are false and will never be a genuine dispute of material fact. As
`
`explained above, Retro’s game software is incapable of performing any of the steps of the asserted
`
`methods. Retro does not develop the software for the over-the-air update servers and has no
`
`
`-8-
`
`

`

`Case 6:21-cv-00738-ADA Document 22 Filed 10/28/21 Page 12 of 14
`
`
`
`control over its operation. Little Decl., ¶¶ 12‒14; Tokunaga Decl., ¶¶ 10‒14; Wada Decl., ¶¶ 10‒
`
`13. Retro does not develop nor does it have control over the console system software that installs
`
`the game update. Little Decl., ¶ 12; Tokunaga Decl., ¶ 10; Wada Decl., ¶ 10.
`
`Contrary to Ancora’s unsupported assumptions, Retro performs none of the asserted
`
`method steps, causes none of the asserted method steps to be performed, and has no control over
`
`the console’s installation of any over-the-air update. Instead, this is another unsupported attempt
`
`to copy and paste the allegations against NCL onto Retro. Compare PICs, Ex. B, p. 11 (SiRF
`
`allegations against NCL) with id. at 14 (nearly identical SiRF allegations against Retro).
`
`4.4 Ancora’s reliance on Akamai is misplaced, because Retro does not direct or con-
`trol performance of the asserted claims.
`
`Ancora’s attempt to use Akamai to implicate Retro is also misplaced. Ancora attempts to
`
`invoke Akamai by alleging that “Retro exercises direction or control over said third parties [of end
`
`users, NCL, and NOA], including by conditioning participation in an activity or receipt of a benefit
`
`upon performance of a step or steps and establishing the manner or timing of that performance.”
`
`PICs, Ex. B, p. 14. This too is demonstrably false and will never be a genuine dispute of material
`
`fact. Retro exerts no control over the over-the-air update process, either at the server or on the
`
`game consoles. Little Decl., ¶¶ 5‒6, 12‒14. Retro does not control when game updates are deliv-
`
`ered to game consoles. Id. Retro does not reward or otherwise provide a benefit to end users,
`
`NCL, or NOA in exchange for performance of an over-the-air update. Id. Instead, Ancora’s Ak-
`
`amai allegations are another unsupported copy and paste of its NCL allegations. Compare PCIs,
`
`Ex. B, p. 11 with id. at 14.
`
`4. Conclusion
`
`Ancora’s infringement allegations are based entirely on activities not performed by Retro.
`
`Ancora has not and cannot identify a genuine dispute of material fact to support its infringement
`
`allegations against Retro, so entry of judgment of non-infringement for Retro is appropriate.
