`
`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?
`

`
`J. PARADISO - CONFIDENTIAL

`
`Q. Okay.
`A. The phonewill do the coupling.

`Fitbit Arguments Against Infringement
`1. Claim construction – same server – “a remote server” and “an internet server” 1(a) and
`1(g). See Dkt. 364 at 2; Dkt. 330 at 12‐14.
`
`2. Claim construction – single server – “an internet server” 1(g) and 1(h). See Dkt. 364 at 2;
`Dkt. 330 at 12‐14.
`
`3. Claim construction – “calculated response … associated with a calculation …” 1(h). See Dkt.
`364 at 5‐7; Dkt. 330 at 15‐19.
`a. Resting Heart Rate not based on exercised related information
`
`4. Claim construction – “triggering” and “Wi‐Fi.” See Dkt. 364 at 5‐6.
`
`5. Performance of “coupling” and “rendering” 1(b) and 1(c). See Dkt. 364 at 9‐10; Dkt. 337 at
`9‐10.
`
`6. Evidence insufficient on performance of the method. See Dkt. 364 at 10‐18; Dkt. 332.

`The indefinite article “an” means “one or more.”
`Baldwin Graphic Sys., Inc. v. Siebert, Inc., 512 F.3d 1338, 1342 (Fed Cir. 2008) (the
`Federal Circuit “has repeatedly emphasized that an indefinite article ‘a’ or ‘an’ in
`patent parlance carries the meaning of ‘one or more’ in open endedclaims
`containing the transitional phrase ‘comprising’” and “subsequentuse of definite
`articles ‘the’ or ‘said’ in a claim to refer back to the same claim term does not
`change the general plural rule, but simply reinvokes that non-singular meaning.”)

`Fitbit Arguments – “triggering” and “WiFi”
`Fitbit failed to raise this argument
`during Markman.
`• No basis for Fitbit’s argument that
`“triggering” is required in the claim.
`Dkt. 364 at 5‐6. No requirement
`that receiving must be triggered by
`sending.
`Fitbit’s argument is contrary to the
`specification. Philips’ Reply Dkt.
`378 at 5‐6 (e.g., User Sends
`Supplemental Data to Server)
`• WiFi is “wireless” connection in the
`claims and specification.

`Case Law Supports Infringement
`
`• 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.

`
`Fitbit’s Response to Statement of Facts
`
`Fitbit only denies that infringement happens every time ‐‐ Fitbit never denies
`infringement occurs sometimes (Dkt. 367):
`
`•
`
`•
`
`•
`
`Limited denial that infringing operation is the “only way.” See e.g., Fitbit
`Response to Fact Nos. 64, 65.
`Limited denial that Accused Devices “may [or can] only be” used to infringe.
`See e.g., Fitbit Response to Fact Nos. 12, 23, 25, 26, 27, 28, 32, 33, 34, 35, 38, 39,
`44, 45, 63.
`Limited denial that “every” Accused Device infringes in every operation. See e.g.,
`Fitbit Response to Fact Nos. 32, 33, 34, 35, 44, 51, 52, 53, 55, 56, 63, 64, 71.
`
`In many instances, Fitbit admits or fails to offer evidence to generate a genuine
`issue of fact. See e.g., Fitbit Response to Fact Nos. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20,

`
`This year I've been tracking mycardio fitness score and have watched it go up from good to the upper
`
`endoftheverygood/excellentsection. Inthelastcoupleofmonths|havelostalotofweightanddone
`
`@ lot more exercise but the score just showsthat I register at 30 (average) and It hasn’t movedfrom that at
`all for at least 8 weeks.It hasnt budged from 30either (so hasn't gone lower or higher) which suggests to
`meit isn't working rather thanIt reflecting an accurate score. Why would that be?
`
`We can provide a more precise estimate ofyour score using the relationship between pace and heart rate
`
`during your runs. This is because individuals with higher VO2 Max have a lower heart rate while running
`
`at thé Samé pace compared to individuals with lower VO2 Max. If you'ré adlé to run at a comfortable pace
`
`for at least 10 minutes] use multisport mode on your Charge2 to track a run with cps[Werecommend_]
`
`running on flat terrain as much as possible since only the flat sections of your run count towards your
`
`score estimate. YOU May NE&Ed 16 go ON Séveral runs that are at least 10 minutes In length to affect your
`
`score.
