`U.S. Patent No. 8,277,377 — 1(b)
`
`Limitation 1(b): coupling the a web-enabled wireless phoneto a device
`18
`Q. And I'm not asking whetherFitbit
`which provides exercise-related information;
`19 is doing this.
`I'm just asking if a user
`20 pairs one of the accused device to say an
`21
`iPhone running the Fitbit app,is that user
`22 coupling a web-enabled wireless phoneto a
`23 device which provides exercise-related
`24 information?
`25
`
`Set up with your phone or tablet
`
`A. Well, the -- 268
`
`The free Fitbit app is compatible with more than 200 devices that support iOS,
`Android, and Windows 10 operating systems.
`
`To get started:
`
`1. Find the Fitbit app in one of the locations below, depending on your device. If
`you're unsureif the Fitbit app is compatible with your phone or tablet, see
`http://www. fitbit.com/devices.
`e Apple App Store for iOS devices such as an iPhone or iPad.
`e Google Play Store for Android devices such as the Samsung Galaxy S6 and
`Motorola Droid Turbo 2.
`
`e Microsoft Windows Store for Windows 10 devices such as the Lumia phone
`or Surface tablet.
`Install the app. If you don’t have an account with the store, must create one
`before you can download the app.
`. When the app is installed, open it and tap Join Fitbit to be guided through a
`series of questions that help you create your Fitbit account, or log in to your
`
`one another (sync data back and forth).
`
`See e.g., lonic User Manual, Dkt. 342-02 at page
`10 of 79
`
`OONONAEWH=
`
`J. PARADISO - CONFIDENTIAL
`MR. SHAW: Objectto form.
`A. Well, the phoneis coupling to
`the device. Is the user doingit -- the
`userisn't going to the Bluetooth protocol
`and doing that and the waythis patent kind
`of looks, you just get near the device,
`you're in range and it works. This is a
`much more detailed dance here. The user
`10 basically is making the decision whether
`11
`they wantto pair or not and -- yeah.
`12
`Q.
`Soam| correct to understand
`13
`that your opinionis that the userisn't
`14 coupling the device.
`It's the phone
`
`. Okay.
`19
`But -- so if a user pairs one of
`20
`the accused devices to an iPhone running
`21
`22 the Fitbit app, then you would agree that a
`23 web-enabled wireless phone has been coupled
`24 toa device which provides exercise-related
`25 information, right?
`
`269
`
`J. PARADISO - CONFIDENTIAL
`
`OnkoOhd=
`
`Q. Okay.
`A. The phonewill do the coupling.

`Dkt. 364 at 5‐6.  No requirement 
`that receiving must be triggered by

`
`• Toshiba Corp. v. Imation Corp., 681 F.3d 1358 (Fed. Cir. 2012)
`• Reversed the district court grant of summary judgment of noninfringement.
`• The correct standard is whether there is sufficient circumstantial evidence 
`to find that “sometime during the relevant period … more likely than not 
`one person somewhere in the United States” [displayed Cardio Fitness on 
`their phone where the phone had synced during exercise]. Id. at 1366.  Only 
`requires 1 in 
` Fitbit users over a period of 4+ years.
`“The district court erred as a matter of law.  The existence of a substantial 
`non‐infringing use does not preclude a finding of inducement.” Id. at 1364.
`“Users may record data onto DVDs using either the disc‐at‐once mode 
`[infringing] or multisession mode [non‐infringing unless finalization 
`employed].”  Id.
`“[W]hen the disc‐at‐once mode is used, the DVD necessarily infringes.”  Id.
`“In the present case,[] recording DVDs in disc‐at‐once mode or multisession 
`mode with finalization is not disabled by default, and Appellees go beyond 
`describing the infringing mode; they recommend that customers use the 
`infringing mode.”  Id. at 1365.
