Exhibit G-3: U.S. Patent No. 10,335,682 to U.S. Patent Application 2007/0105626 (“Cho”)
`
`The following chart contains Supercell’s Invalidity Contentions demonstrating that Cho anticipates claims 1-16 of U.S. Patent No.
`10,335,682 under 35 U.S.C. § 102 or renders the same claims obvious alone or in view of other prior art under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
`Because the Court has yet to issue a claim construction in this case, fact discovery is ongoing, and the invalidity of the asserted claims
`will likely be the subject of expert discovery, these contentions are preliminary only and Supercell reserves the right to supplement or
`modify these contentions in accordance with the agreed patent-disclosure procedures and the Docket Control Order in this case.
`Additionally, and in further consideration of the preliminary stages of the case, Supercell notes that the pinpoint citations referenced in
`this chart are not exhaustive, and Supercell reserves the right to rely on additional citations within the reference. Furthermore,
`citations to any figure, table, or chart are meant to encompass the language describing the respective figure, table, or chart, and vice
`versa.
`
`These charts also incorporate analysis based upon GREE’s apparent interpretation of the asserted claims, as reflected in GREE’s
`infringement contentions to date. Supercell does not agree with GREE’s incomplete, ambiguous, and inadequate application of the
`asserted claims in those contentions. However, as detailed below, such application (to the extent that it can be reasonably ascertained)
`further renders each asserted claim invalid. Supercell further reserves its right to supplement these contentions based on further
`discovery, including any supplemental infringement contentions or any interrogatory response purporting to rebut these invalidity
`contentions provided by GREE.
`
`Additionally, Supercell notes that while certain potential obviousness arguments and combinations may be cited within these charts,
`such recitations are not exhaustive. As such, to the extent that any asserted claims are found not to be anticipated by Cho, Supercell
`reserves the right to argue that such non-anticipated claims are obvious over Cho alone, in view of any of the arguments raised within
`the charts, in view of any of the other prior art cited in Supercell’s cover pleading, or in view of prior art that may later become known
`to Supercell as part of the discovery process.

`Cho
`
`Cho discloses a method performed by a user terminal used by a first player, the method.
`
`See, e.g., Cho at Abstract:
`
`Example systems and methods involve a video game system that has a touch sensitive display
`screen that can be used to supply inputs used in video game control. In one example system and
`method, a user or player draws movement patterns on the touch sensitive display screen. The
`drawn movement patterns are stored and a game object can be moved in accordance with a
`drawn movement pattern selected from the memory by the user.

`
`In another example system and method, a user or player draws a movement pattern on the
`touch sensitive display screen and a game object is moved based a shape and a color of the
`drawn movement pattern. This example system and method can be applied by way of example
`without limitation to moving different game objects using the same movement pattern. For
`example, a first game object can be moved by drawing a movement pattern of a first color and
`a second game object can be moved by drawing a movement pattern of a second different
`color.

`
`Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, in an illustrative embodiment the game system 10 includes a main
`body 12 and a cover body 14 hingedly connected to each other along an upper edge of the main
`body 12 and a lower edge of the cover body 14 (references herein to terms such as “upper” and
`“lower” and “forward” and “rearward” are for ease of understanding and are made relative to
`an orientation of the game device where the cover body 14 is in an open position and the game
`is being held by a user in a normal operating position). Hinge elements 16, 18 and 20 on the
`main body 12 mesh with hinge elements 22 and 24 on the cover body, with a hinge pin (not
`shown) extending through the aligned hinge elements in conventional fashion. Note that
`because hinge elements 16, 18 and 20 extend from the upper (or inner) face 26 of the main
`body 12, the cover body 14 overlies the upper face 26 when the cover body 14 is closed over
`the main body. When the cover body 14 is in its fully open position, it is substantially parallel
`to the main body 12 but lies in a substantially parallel, offset plane. The main body 12 also has
`a lower (or outer) face 28 (FIG. 2) and a peripheral edge 30.

`
`These plays can be created advance and stored in memory for selection during the game or a
`new play can be created during the game to take into account a particular game situation. For
`example, FIGS. 9A and 9B show two plays in which paths with arrows on the end are drawn to
`move offensive players (indicated by circles). Similar plays may be developed in which
`defensive players are moved in accordance with paths drawn using the touchscreen. In other
`implementations, the touchscreen may be used to develop various offensive and defensive
`formations and paths may be drawn to move the players from these initial formations. When an
`offensive player chooses to use a particular formation (e.g., by selection of an offensive
`formation previously specified by that user and stored in memory or by drawing the formation
`on the touch screen), the game program may be configured to recognize the formation and
`select for, or suggest to, the defensive player a particular defensive formation from among
`various defensive formations previously specified by that user and stored in memory.

`See, e.g., Cho at [0062]:
`
`For example, in a squad-based military game, User 1 may want to show his teammates, User 2
`and User 3, where to position themselves in a field of play. User 1 presses a “Tactical Map”
`button in the game. This triggers the display of an overhead map on the screens of User 1, 2,
`and 3 as shown in (B) of FIG. 11. All users may then draw on this map using the touch screen
`32. User 1 may, for example, show User 2 where to go by drawing an arrow from User 2's
`current position (displayed on the map), to a target position as shown in (C) of FIG. 11. This
`touchpad and drawing information is communicated to the portable game systems of Users 2
`and 3 and the maps on their respective screens are updated to be same as the map on the
`touchscreen of User l's portable game system as shown in (D) of FIG. 11. In an example
`implementation (not shown in FIG. 11), User 2 may acknowledge receipt of the instructions to
`move to the target position by drawing a checkmark on the map at this position. This drawing
`would be seen by Users 1, 2, and 3.

`To the extent this limitation is not explicitly disclosed, Supercell responds that it is inherent or
`obvious. Moreover, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art to modify this
`reference so as to include this claim limitation in light of the knowledge possessed by one of
`ordinary skill in the art. Further, this claim limitation would have been obvious in light of
`numerous other U.S. patents, U.S. patent publications, articles, and products available at the time
`the asserted patent was filed, and it would have been obvious to combine these references to a
`person of ordinary skill in the art. For example, see at least the corresponding claim elements in
`the respective charts, which are incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein: Mastermind,
`Backyard Monsters, Cho, Farone, Kim, Sword of the Stars, Madden 25, FIFA 13, Gratuitous Tank

`FIG. 6 is an illustration showing an example internal configuration of the portable game system
`10. As shown in FIG. 6, the portable game system 10 includes a CPU (central processing unit)
`223, which is an example of a computer for executing the game program, and other
`components. The CPU 223 is connected to a work RAM (working storage unit) 224, a GPU
`(graphic processing unit) 222, and a peripheral circuit I/F (interface) 225. The work RAM 224
`is a memory for temporarily storing, for example, the game program to be executed by the CPU
`223 and calculation results of the CPU 223. The GPU 222 uses, in response to an instruction
`from the CPU 223, a VRAM 221 to generate a game image for display output to a first LCD
`(liquid crystal display unit) 211 and a second LCD 212, and causes the generated game image
`to be displayed on the first display screen 32 of the first LCD 211 and the second display screen
`88 of the second LCD 212. The peripheral circuit I/F 225 is a circuit for transmitting and
`receiving data between external input/output units, such as the touch panel 213, the operation
`keys 214, the loudspeaker 215, and the wireless communication circuit 216, and the CPU 223.
`The touch panel 213 (including a device driver for the touch panel) outputs coordinate data
`corresponding to a position input (specified) with the stylus 71. The wireless communication
`circuit 216 may be configured for wireless communication in accordance with any of various
`known wireless protocols such as Bluetooth; any type of 802.11 (Wi-Fi) protocol; HiperLAN/1

`The inputting of such shapes, symbols and characters can be implemented in a wide variety of
`games. For example, in a football game, users can draw their own plays and have their teams
`execute those plays. For example, prior to each play, a map of the field may be drawn for all
`team users to see. One user may move players into formation by drawing their positions on the
`touchscreen, and drawing their selected movement pattern as well by drawing arrows on the
`touchscreen from their formation position to their target position. Once the ball is snapped, this
`information can be displayed for each player on the team—they can see in 3D view the arrow
`drawn for their target path.

`To the extent this limitation is not explicitly disclosed, Supercell responds that it is inherent or
`obvious. Moreover, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art to modify this
`reference so as to include this claim limitation in light of the knowledge possessed by one of
`ordinary skill in the art. Further, this claim limitation would have been obvious in light of
`numerous other U.S. patents, U.S. patent publications, articles, and products available at the time
`the asserted patent was filed, and it would have been obvious to combine these references to a
`person of ordinary skill in the art. For example, see at least the corresponding claim elements in
`the respective charts, which are incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein: Mastermind,

`Example systems and methods involve a video game system that has a touch sensitive display
`screen that can be used to supply inputs used in video game control. In one example system and
`method, a user or player draws movement patterns on the touch sensitive display screen. The
`drawn movement patterns are stored and a game object can be moved in accordance with a
`drawn movement pattern selected from the memory by the user.
