`
`C.
`
`Claim Charts
`
`Solas’s analysis of Defendants’ products and apparatuses is based upon infor-
`
`mation that is publicly available and based on Solas’s own investigation prior to any
`
`discovery in this action.
`
`While the publicly available information constitutes evidence of the methods
`
`and apparatuses used by Solas in the Accused Instrumentalities, direct evidence of
`
`the actual apparatuses and methods are at times not publicly available. Accordingly,
`
`these infringement contentions are based on the available public information, la-
`
`boratory analysis and reasonable inferences drawn from that information.

`
`
`
`Solas reserves the right to amend or supplement these disclosures for any of
`
`the following reasons (along with any other reason that may be permitted under the
`
`court’s rules and orders):
`
`(1) Defendants provide evidence of the apparatuses and methods used in the
`
`Accused Instrumentalities;
`
`(2) The Asserted Claims may include elements that involve features that are
`
`implemented by hardware structures and logic and Solas’s current posi-
`
`tions on infringement are set forth without the benefit of access to Defend-
`
`ant’s source code, schematics, drawings, or other proprietary specifications
`
`or information, which cannot be obtained through publicly available infor-
`
`mation, for the Accused Instrumentalities. Therefore, it may be necessary
`
`for Solas to supplement its positions on infringement after a complete pro-
`
`duction of such proprietary specifications or information by Defendants;
`
`(3) Solas’s position on infringement of specific claims will depend on the claim
`
`constructions adopted by the Court. Because said constructions have not
`
`yet occurred, Solas cannot take a final position on the bases for infringe-
`
`ment of the Asserted Claims; and
`
`(4) Solas’s investigation and analysis of Defendants’ Accused Instrumentalities
`
`are based upon information made publicly available by Defendants and by
`
`Solas’s own investigations. Solas reserves the right to amend these conten-
`
`tions based upon discovery of non-public information that Solas anticipates
`
`receiving from Defendants during discovery.

`Attached as Exhibits A through C, and incorporated herein in their entirety,
`
`are charts identifying where each element of the Asserted Claims of the ’891, ’068,
`
`and ’137 patents are found in the Accused Instrumentalities.
`
`Unless otherwise indicated, the information provided that corresponds to each
`
`claim element is considered to indicate that each claim element is found within each
`
`of the different variations, versions, editions, and applications of each respective
`
`Accused Instrumentalities.
`
`D.
`

`
`The priority date of the ’891 patent is no later than November 22, 2002, the

`
`Mark Office.
`
`The priority date of the ’068 patent is no later than September 21, 2004, the
`
`filing dates of patent applications JP 2004-273532 and JP 2004-273580 in the Japan
