`
`UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
`FOR THE DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS
`
`PHILIPS NORTH AMERICA LLC,
`
`v.
`
`FITBIT, INC.,
`
`Plaintiff,
`
`Defendant.
`
`Civil Action No. 1:19-cv-11586-IT
`
`DEFENDANT FITBIT’S AMENDED INVALIDITY AND NONINFRINGEMENT
`CONTENTIONS
`
`Pursuant to Local Rule 16.6(d)(4) and in accordance with the deadlines agreed to and
`
`adopted by the Court in this action, Fitbit, Inc. (“Fitbit”), by and through its counsel, sets forth its
`
`Amended Invalidity and Noninfringement Contentions. These contentions respond to the
`
`Infringement Disclosures of Plaintiff Philips North America LLC (“Philips”), served January 31,
`
`2020 and amended May 1, 2020 and May 15, 2020. In its Infringement Contentions, Philips
`
`asserted the following patents and claims against Fitbit (collectively, the Asserted Patents):1
`
`U.S. Patent No.
`
`Asserted Claims2
`
`6,013,007 (“the ’007 patent”)
`
`7, 21, 23, 24, 25, 26, 28, 29
`
`7,088,233 (“the ’233 patent”)
`
`1, 7, 8, 9, 10, 13, 14, 15, 16, 22, 24, 25, 26
`
`8,277,377 (“the ’377 patent”)
`
`1, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12
`
`6,976,958 (“the ’958 patent”)
`
`15, 16, 17
`
`
`
`
`1 While Philips’ Infringement Contentions assert claims of the ’958 patent, Philips has subsequently withdrawn its
`infringement allegations as to the ’958 patent in its Second Amended Complaint after statutorily disclaiming all
`asserted claims.
`2 Philips’ Infringement Contentions as amended on May 15 no longer assert claims 22 or 27 of the ’007 patent.

`

`Case 1:19-cv-11586-FDS Document 261-2 Filed 12/13/21 Page 3 of 103
`
`I.
`
`Reservation of rights
`
`Consistent with Local Rule 16.6, Fitbit reserves the right to amend these Invalidity and
`
`Noninfringement Contentions. Discovery is in its early stages, and Fitbit’s prior art investigation
`
`is not complete. Fitbit has not yet taken depositions or received discovery from third-parties.
`
`Fitbit reserves the right to revise, amend, or supplement its Invalidity and Noninfringement
`
`Contentions as it received information from parties and third parties, consistent with the Local
`
`Rules and the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. In particular, Fitbit reserves its right to add to or
`
`amend our disclosures of system art once the Court-ordered stay on discovery is lifted and Fitbit
`
`is able to gather additional system art from third-parties.
`
`Moreover, Fitbit reserves the right to revise, amend, or supplement its Invalidity and
`
`Noninfringement Contentions, which may change depending upon the Court’s construction of
`
`claim terms and/or positions that Philips or its expert witnesses may take concerning claim
`
`interpretation, infringement, and/or invalidity issues. To the extent the following contentions
`
`reflect constructions of claim limitations consistent with or implicit in Philips’ Infringement
`
`Contentions, no inference is intended nor should any be drawn that Fitbit agrees with Philips’
`
`claim constructions, and Fitbit expressly reserves the right to contest such claim constructions.
`
`Fitbit offers these contentions in response to Philips’ Infringement Contentions and
`
`without prejudice to any position Fitbit may ultimately take as to any claim construction issues.
`
`Fitbit has also met and conferred with Philips’ concerning its deficient infringement contentions.
`
`Philips has agreed to amend those contentions to address those deficiencies no later than March
`
`17, 2020. Fitbit’s ability to respond to the infringement contentions and to identify relevant prior
`
`art has been prejudiced by Philips deficient infringement contentions and failure to provide
`
`required disclosures on conception and reduction to practice. Fitbit therefore reserves its rights to
`
`- 2 -
`
`

`

`Case 1:19-cv-11586-FDS Document 261-2 Filed 12/13/21 Page 4 of 103
`
`supplement these disclosures upon Philips’ compliance with local rules. In addition, these
`
`contentions are in no way an endorsement of Philips’ apparent infringement theories.
`
`Fitbit reserves the right to rely on prior art included in its production (Fitbit_19-
`
`11586_00000001 – Fitbit_19-11586_00005313) whether or not it is charted. Prior art not
`
`included in this disclosure, whether known or not known to Fitbit, may later become relevant. In
`
`particular, Fitbit is currently unaware of the extent, if any, to which Philips will contend that
`
`limitations of the asserted claims are not disclosed in the prior art identified by Fitbit. To the
`
`extent that such an issue arises, Fitbit reserves the right to identify other references that would
`
`have made the addition of the allegedly missing limitation to the disclosed device or method
`
`obvious.
`
`Depending on the Court’s claim construction of claim terms, and/or positions that the
`
`parties or their expert witnesses may take concerning claim interpretation, infringement, and/or
`
`invalidity issues, different charted prior art references may be of greater or lesser relevance and
`
`different combinations of these references may be implicated. Given this uncertainty, the charts
`
`may reflect alternative applications of the prior art against the asserted claims.
`
`II.
`
`Priority dates of the Asserted Patents
`
`Philips has made no specific disclosure regarding conception and reduction to practice of
`
`the Asserted Patents, despite representing all of the inventors of the Asserted Patents. Philips’
`
`Infringement Contentions do not identify the priority dates for the Asserted Patents. Thus,
`
`Philips appears to be relying upon the filing date of the Asserted Patents, and not an earlier date,
`
`as the priority date.3
`
`
`3 For example, to the extent Philips believes the ’958 patent is entitled to a filing date earlier than
`February 6, 2004, it is Philips’ burden to establish this earlier filing date. Philips has not
`satisfied this burden. So, for purpose of these contentions, Fitbit has assumed (without
`conceding) that the claims of the ’958 patent are entitled to a priority date of February 6, 2004.
`
`- 3 -
`
`

`

`Case 1:19-cv-11586-FDS Document 261-2 Filed 12/13/21 Page 5 of 103
`
`Fitbit has not yet had an opportunity to depose Philips or the inventors and, therefore,
`
`Fitbit is unable at this time to evaluate any claim by Philips with respect to conception or
`
`reduction to practice dates for the Asserted Patents and/or their file histories. Therefore, Fitbit is
`
`unable to determine the critical date(s) with respect to earlier invention by other parties under 35
`
`U.S.C. § 102(g). Fitbit accordingly relies on references that qualify as prior art based on the
`
`priority dates identified on the face of the Asserted Patents, and reserves its right to amend these
`
`Invalidity Contentions to account for any allegations by Philips of an earlier priority date.
`
`III.
`
`Invalidity contentions
`A.
`
`Identification of each prior art reference
`
`Subject to Fitbit’s reservation of rights, and pursuant to Local Rule 16.6(d)(4)(E),
`
`attached are claim charts (Exs. A1-19, B1-15, C1-16, D1-16) detailing the invalidity of each
`
`Asserted Patent. In addition, Fitbit incorporates the papers, prior art references, and other
`
`exhibits and arguments in any inter partes review(s) that any party may file challenging any
`
`claims of the Asserted Patents. Fitbit also incorporates all materials filed in connection with the
`
`EP 1247299 Evocation Proceeding, the German Nullity Action for European patent EP 1 076
`
`806, and the UK Case No. HP-2017-000068
`
`Fitbit identifies at least the following prior art now known to anticipate and/or render
`
`obvious the Asserted Claims, either expressly, implicitly, or inherently as understood by a
`
`POSITA:
`
`1.
`
`Prior art to the ’233 patent
`
`The following prior art patents, publications, and publically disclosed systems are prior
`
`art to the Asserted Claims of the ’233 patent under at least 35 U.S.C. §§ 102(a), (b), (e), (g),
`
`and/or 35 U.S.C. § 103, as indicated in at least the attached charts and prose set forth below.

`Subject to its reservation of rights, in the event that any identified art should be found not
`
`to anticipate the Asserted Claims, Fitbit discloses the following combinations of references as
`
`invalidating the Asserted Patents. Fitbit identifies combinations and motivations to combine
`
`based on references grouped by subject matter, in the manner approved by courts applying the
`
`Norther District of California Patent Local Rules regarding invalidity contentions. See, e.g.,
`
`Avago Techs. Gen IP PTE Ltd. v. Elan Micro. Corp., No. C04-05385 JW (HRL), 2007 U.S. Dist.
`
`LEXIS 97464, at *10-11 (N.D. Cal. Mar. 28, 2007) (organizing prior art references into “groups”
`
`and identifying combinations as a set of references “and/or” another set of references); Keithley
`
`v. The Homestore.com, Inc., 553 F. Supp. 2d 1148, 1150 (N.D. Cal. 2008) (following Avago –
`
`“defendants’ grouping method is permissible under the Local Rules”); see also Multimedia
