`
`ACCUSED PRODUCTS
`
`41.
`
`Defendant admits that the Amended Complaint defines the term “Accused
`
`Products” to include “Accused GPUs” and “Accused SOCs” and all products that contain an
`
`“Accused GPU” or “Accused SOC” that have been made, sold, or offered for sale, or imported
`
`into the United States at any time since November 4, 2008. Defendant denies that Defendant
`
`infringes any valid and enforceable claim of the asserted patents. Defendant denies any
`
`remaining allegations.

`
`

`

`Case 3:14-cv-00757-REP-DJN Document 59 Filed 03/03/15 Page 6 of 766 PageID# 4403
`
`42.
`
`Defendant admits that the Amended Complaint defines the term “Accused GPUs”
`
`to include “all NVIDIA GPUs and all products that contain a NVIDIA GPU that have been
`
`made, used, sold, offered for sale, or imported into the United States since November 4, 2008,
`
`including the products identified in paragraphs 43 to 55.” Defendant denies that Defendant
`
`infringes any valid and enforceable claim of the asserted patents. Defendant denies any
`
`remaining allegations.
`
`43.
`
`Defendant admits that the Amended Complaint defines the term “938 Accused
`
`GPUs” to include “all NVIDIA GPUs and all products that contain NVIDIA GPUs that are
`
`designed to operate in conjunction with JEDEC standard SDRAM or SGRAM that includes
`
`posted CAS latency functionality or any equivalent thereof.” Defendant denies that Defendant
`
`infringes any valid and enforceable claim of the asserted patents. Defendant denies any
`
`remaining allegations.
`
`44.
`
`This allegation relies on a term found in the claims of the ’938 patent. To the
`
`extent this paragraph makes allegations regarding the alleged invention and the scope of the
`
`claims, Defendant denies such allegations. Because Plaintiffs have not provided an interpretation
`
`or construction for this term and “posted CAS latency functionality or any equivalent thereof,”
`
`this allegation contains unstated subjective assessments from Plaintiffs and the accuracy of the
`
`allegations depends on context. Defendant lacks knowledge or information sufficient to form a
`
`belief as to the truth of the allegations, and therefore denies them.
`
`45.
`
`Defendant admits that the Amended Complaint defines the term “602 Accused
`
`GPUs” to include “all NVIDIA GPUs and all products that contain NVIDIA GPUs that are
`
`designed to support any SDRAM or SGRAM that includes an input data strobe feature
`
`supporting single-ended and differential signaling or any equivalent thereof.” Defendant denies

`

`

`Case 3:14-cv-00757-REP-DJN Document 59 Filed 03/03/15 Page 7 of 766 PageID# 4404
`
`that Defendant infringes any valid and enforceable claim of the asserted patents. Defendant
`
`denies any remaining allegations.
`
`46.
`
`47.
`
`Defendant denies the allegations in this paragraph.
`
`Defendant admits that the Amended Complaint defines the term “Accused 28 nm
`
`GPUs” to include “all NVIDIA GPUs utilizing 28 nanometer fabrication processing and all
`
`products that contain such a GPU.” Defendant denies that Defendant infringes any valid and
`
`enforceable claim of the asserted patents. Defendant denies any remaining allegations.
`
`48.
`
`Defendant admits that, depending on context, certain identified products could be
`
`considered to be fabricated by a 28 nanometer process. The phrase “fabricated utilizing a 28
`
`nanometer fabrication processing” is vague and ambiguous at least because Samsung has not
`
`explained what it means by “28 nanometer fabrication processing.” Defendant therefore is
`
`without knowledge or information sufficient to form a belief as to the truth of any remaining
`
`allegations set forth in this paragraph, and on that basis denies them.
`
`49.
`
`Defendant admits that the Amended Complaint defines the term “Accused 40 nm
`
`and Other GPUs” to include “all NVIDIA GPUs utilizing 40 nanometer, 55 nanometer, 65
`
`nanometer, 80 nanometer, or 90 nanometer fabrication processing and all products that contain
`
`such a GPU.” Defendant denies that Defendant infringes any valid and enforceable claim of the
`
`asserted patents. Defendant denies any remaining allegations.
`
`50.
`
`Defendant admits that, depending on context, certain identified products could be
`
`considered to be fabricated by a 40 nanometer, 55 nanometer, 65 nanometer, 80 nanometer, or 90
`
`nanometer process. The phrase “fabricated utilizing 40 nanometer, 55 nanometer, 65 nanometer,
`
`80 nanometer, or 90 nanometer fabrication processing” is vague and ambiguous at least because
`
`Samsung has not explained what it means by “40 nanometer, 55 nanometer, 65 nanometer, 80

`
`nanometer, or 90 nanometer fabrication processing.” Defendant therefore is without knowledge
`
`or information sufficient to form a belief as to the truth of any remaining allegations set forth in

`
`enforceable claim of the asserted patents. Defendant denies any remaining allegations.
`
`52.
`
`Defendant admits that certain identified products may contain an NVIDIA GPU
`
`that supports DisplayPort and can be used in a laptop computer, depending on the context in
`
`which these terms are used. This allegation relies on terms found in the claims of the ’724 patent
`
`and contains legal arguments and conclusions; therefore, no answer is required. To the extent an
`
`answer is required and this paragraph makes allegations regarding the alleged invention and the
`
`scope of the claims, Defendant denies such allegations. Defendant's responses are not intended
`
`to interpret the meaning or scope of the claims in the ’724 patent. Because Plaintiffs have not
`
`provided an interpretation or construction for this term, this allegation contains unstated
`
`subjective assessments from Plaintiffs and the accuracy of the allegations depends on context.
`
`Defendant lacks knowledge or information sufficient to form a belief as to the truth of the
`
`allegations, and therefore denies them. Defendant states that it does not infringe any valid and
`
`enforceable claim of the ’724 patent.
`
`53.
`
`Defendant admits that the Amended Complaint defines the term “724 Accused
`
`Mobile GPUs with Analog Output” to include “all NVIDIA GPUs that support DisplayPort and
`
`an analog output, such as DVI or VGA, and that are intended for use or used in laptop
`
`8
`
`

`

`Case 3:14-cv-00757-REP-DJN Document 59 Filed 03/03/15 Page 9 of 766 PageID# 4406

`computers.” Defendant denies that Defendant infringes any valid and enforceable claim of the
`
`asserted patents. Defendant denies any remaining allegations.
`
`54.
`
`Defendant admits that certain identified products may contain an NVIDIA GPU
`
`that supports DisplayPort, DVI and/or VGA, and that is used, or intended for use, in a laptop
`
`computer, depending on the context in which these terms are used. This allegation relies on
`
`terms found in the claims of the ’724 patent and contains legal arguments and conclusions;
`
`therefore, no answer is required. To the extent an answer is required and this paragraph makes
`
`allegations regarding the alleged invention and the scope of the claims, Defendant denies such
`
`allegations. Defendant's responses are not intended to interpret the meaning or scope of the
`
`claims in the ’724 patent. Because Plaintiffs have not provided an interpretation or construction
`
`for this term, this allegation contains unstated subjective assessments from Plaintiffs and the
`
`accuracy of the allegations depends on context. Defendant lacks knowledge or information
`
`sufficient to form a belief as to the truth of the allegations, and therefore denies them. Defendant
`
`states that it does not infringe any valid and enforceable claim of the ’724 patent.
`
`55.
`
`Defendant admits that the Amended Complaint defines the term “Unified Cache
`
`GPUs” to include “all NVIDIA GPUs that include a unified L2 cache, as well as all products that
`
`contain such a GPU.” Defendant denies that Defendant infringes any valid and enforceable
`
`claim of the asserted patents. Defendant denies any remaining allegations.
`
`56.
`
`Defendant admits, based on its present understanding, certain identified products
`
`may be or may contain an NVIDIA GPU with a unified L2 cache, depending on the context in
`
`which these terms are used. Defendant further admits that certain of the identified products are
`
`based on the Fermi, Kepler, or Maxwell microarchitectures. This allegation relies on terms
`
`found in the claims of the ’158 patent and contains legal arguments and conclusions; therefore,
`
`9
`
`

`

`Case 3:14-cv-00757-REP-DJN Document 59 Filed 03/03/15 Page 10 of 766 PageID# 4407
`
`no answer is required. To the extent an answer is required and this paragraph makes allegations
`
`regarding the alleged invention and the scope of the claims, Defendant denies such allegations.
`
`Defendant's responses are not intended to interpret the meaning or scope of the claims in the
`
`’158 patent. Because Plaintiffs have not provided an interpretation or construction for this term,
`
`this allegation contains unstated subjective assessments from Plaintiffs and the accuracy of the
`
`allegations depends on context. Defendant lacks knowledge or information sufficient to form a
`
`belief as to the truth of the allegations, and therefore denies them. Defendant states that it does
`
`not infringe any valid and enforceable claim of the ’158 patent.
`
`57.
`
`Defendant admits that the Amended Complaint defines the term “Accused SOCs”
`
`to include “all NVIDIA SOCs and all products that contain a NVIDIA SOC that have been
`
`made, used, sold, offered for sale, or imported into the United States at any time since November
`
`4, 2008.” Defendant denies that Defendant infringes any valid and enforceable claim of the
`
`asserted patents. Defendant denies any remaining allegations.
`
`58.
`
`Defendant admits that the Amended Complaint defines the term “Accused 28 nm
`
`SOCs” to include “all NVIDIA SOCs utilizing 28 nanometer fabrication processing and all
`
`products that contain such an SOC.” Defendant denies that Defendant infringes any valid and
`
`enforceable claim of the asserted patents. Defendant denies any remaining allegations.
`
`59.
`
`Defendant admits that, depending on context, certain identified products could be
`
`considered to be fabricated by a 28 nanometer process. The phrase “fabricated utilizing a 28
`
`nanometer fabrication processing” is vague and ambiguous at least because Samsung has not
`
`explained what it means by “28 nanometer fabrication processing.” Defendant therefore is
`

`Defendant admits that, depending on context, certain identified products could be
`
`considered to be fabricated by a 40 nanometer, 55 nanometer, 65 nanometer, 80 nanometer, or 90
`
`nanometer process. The phrase “fabricated utilizing 40 nanometer, 55 nanometer, 65 nanometer,
`
`80 nanometer, or 90 nanometer fabrication processing” is vague and ambiguous at least because
`
`Samsung has not explained what it means by “40 nanometer, 55 nanometer, 65 nanometer, 80
