1
INTERROGATORIES
2 INTERROGATORY NO. 2:
2
3
3
For each of the Asserted Claims, set forth in detail Samsung’s bases for asserting the
4 defense of non-infringement, including a claim chart indicating whether each element of the claim
4
5 is present or absent in each of the Products at Issue and, if Samsung contends that an element is
5
6 absent, the detailed basis for that contention.
6
7 SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORY NO. 2:
7
8
8
Samsung objects to this interrogatory as vague and ambiguous. Samsung further objects to
9 this interrogatory to the extent that it seeks to elicit information subject to and protected by the
9
10 attorney-client privilege, the attorney work-product doctrine, the joint defense privilege, the
10
11 common interest doctrine, and/or any other applicable privilege or immunity. Samsung objects to
11
12 Apple’s definition of “Products at Issue” as overly broad, vague, and ambiguous insofar as it
12
13 includes the undefined categories of “any similar products” and “any products that Apple accuses
13
14 of infringing its intellectual property in this litigation.” Samsung further objects to this
14
15 interrogatory as vague since Apple has failed to provide a detailed explanation in its Disclosure of
15
16 Asserted Claims and Infringement Contentions of the bases for its claims that Samsung allegedly
16
17 infringes the Asserted Claims. Furthermore, Samsung is presently unable to provide more detailed
17
18 non-infringement positions because Apple has not served its expert reports identifying how
18
19 Samsung’s products allegedly infringe Apple’s asserted patents. Samsung further objects to this
19
20 interrogatory to the extent it prematurely calls for contentions at this stage of litigation. Samsung
20
21 will provide such contentions in accordance with the Court’s Minute Order and Case Management
21
22 Order, dated August 25, 2011.
22
23
23
Subject to the foregoing general and specific objections, and without waiver of Samsung’s
24 rights to seek relief from the Court based on any of the foregoing objections, Samsung responds as
24
25 follows:
25
26
26
U.S. Patent No. 7,812,828 (“the ‘828 patent”)
27
27
Samsung has not directly infringed, induced infringement of, or contributed to
28 infringement of the ’828 Patent. Apple’s infringement contentions fail to demonstrate direct or

1 Products are capable of substantial noninfringing uses, whether the Accused Products were
2 especially made or especially adapted for infringing use, and how others have supposedly directly
2
3 infringed the ‘381 patent.
3
4
4
The Accused Products do not practice claims 1-20, either literally or under the doctrine of
5 equivalents, for at least the following reasons. Apple has not shown or provided any evidence
5
6 demonstrating that any Accused Product (i) translates the electronic document in the first direction
6
7 while the object is still detected on or near the touch screen display and an edge of the electronic
7
8 document is reached while translating the electronic document in the same first direction; (ii)
8
9 display an area beyond the edge of the electronic document; (iii) the second direction is opposite
9
10 the first direction; (iv) translating in the first direction is in accordance with a simulation of an
10
11 equation of motion having friction; (v) translating the document in the second direction is a
11
12 damped motion; (vi) the second associated translating speed is slower than the first associated
12
13 translating speed, where the first associated translating speed corresponds to a speed of movement
13
14 of the object prior to reaching the edge and displaying an area beyond the edge of the electronic
14
15 document comprises translating the electronic document in the first direction for a second
15
16 associated translating speed; and (vii) contains instructions required by claims 19 and 20.
16
17
17
Furthermore, Apple has not provided evidence that the Accused Products meet the
18 limitations of the ‘381 patent claims under the interpretation of those claims in J. Koh’s December
18
19 2, 2011 order on Apple’s Motion for Preliminary Injunction.
19
20
20
Samsung also incorporates by reference the Declaration of Jeffrey Johnson in Support of
21 Samsung’s Opposition to Apple’s Motion for a Preliminary Injunction (Dkt. No. 174) and
21
22 Samsung’s Opposition to Apple’s Motion for a Preliminary Injunction (Dkt. No. 181a).

U.S. Patent No. 7,844,915 (“the ‘915 patent”)
24
24
Samsung has not directly infringed, induced infringement of, or contributed to
25 infringement of the ‘915 patent. Apple’s infringement contentions fail to demonstrate direct or
25
26 indirect infringement of the ‘915 patent by Samsung. Apple’s contentions also fail to allege any
26
27 facts to support its allegations of indirect infringement, including with respect to the critical issues
27
28 of whether Samsung intended to induce others to infringe the ‘915 patent, whether the Accused

1 Products are capable of substantial noninfringing uses, whether the Accused Products were
2 especially made or especially adapted for infringing use, and how others have supposedly directly
2
3 infringed the ‘915 patent. The Accused Products do not practice claims 1 through 21, either
3
4 literally or under the doctrine of equivalents, for at least the following reasons. Apple has not
4
5 shown or provided any evidence demonstrating that any Accused Product practices the following
5
6 limitations:
6
7
7
“determining whether the event object invokes a scroll or gesture operation,” as “event
8 objects” are incapable of invoking operations.
8
9
9
“distinguishing between a single input point applied to the touch-sensitive display that is
10 interpreted as the scroll operation and two or more input points applied to the touch-sensitive
10
11 display that are interpreted as the gesture operation;”
11
12
12
13
13
The ‘915 specification conflates the
14 definitions of scroll operations and gesture operations, rendering all the claims indefinite and
14
15 therefore non-infringed.
15
16
16
“responding to at least one scroll call, if issued, by scrolling a window having a view
17 associated with the event object based on an amount of a scroll with the scroll stopped at a
17
18 predetermined position in relation to the user input;”
18
19
19
20
20
21
21
22
22
23
23
“rubberbanding a scrolling region displayed within the window by a predetermined
24 maximum displacement when the scrolling region exceeds a window edge based on the scroll,”
24
25
25
Furthermore, the ‘915 claims and
26 specification do not define the claim term “rubberbanding” and an inventor of the patent was
26
27 likewise unable to define it. (See Deposition Transcript of Andrew Platzer at 36-41.)

1
“attaching scroll indicators to a content edge of the window” and “attaching scroll
2 indicators to the window edge.” The ‘915 patent specification and claims do not define the terms
2
3 “content edge” and “window edge,” rendering all the claims indefinite and therefore non3
4 infringed.
4
5
5
“determining whether the event object invokes a scroll or gesture operation is based on
6 receiving a drag user input for a certain time period,” as “event objects” are incapable of invoking
6
7 operations.
7
8
8
“responding to at least one gesture call, if issued, by rotating a view associated with the
9 event object based on receiving a plurality of input points in the form of the user input,” as the
9
10 ‘915 specification conflates the definitions of scroll operations and gesture operations, rendering
10
11 this claim indefinite and therefore non-infringed.
11
12
12
Apple also has failed to identify a function or associated structure for the means plus
13 function claims, namely claims 8-14 and 15-21. Nevertheless, Samsung does not meet these
13
14 means plus function claims for at least the reasons listed above.
14
15
15
U.S. Patent No. 7,853,891 (“the ‘891 patent”)
16
16
Samsung has not directly infringed, induced infringement of, or contributed to
17 infringement of the ‘891 patent. Apple’s infringement contentions fail to demonstrate direct or
17
18 indirect infringement of the ‘891 patent by Samsung. Apple’s contentions also fail to allege any
18
19 facts to support its allegations of indirect infringement, including with respect to the critical issues
19
20 of whether Samsung intended to induce others to infringe the ‘891 patent, whether the Accused
20
21 Products are capable of substantial noninfringing uses, whether the Accused Products were
21
22 especially made or especially adapted for infringing use, and how others have supposedly directly
22
23 infringed the ‘891 patent.
23
24
24
The Accused Products do not practice claims 1-3, 5-7, 14-21, 23, 24, 26-28, 30-32, 39-46,
25 48, 49, 51-53, 55-57, 64-71, 73 & 74, either literally or under the doctrine of equivalents, for at
25
26 least the following reasons. Apple has not shown or provided any evidence demonstrating that any
26
27 Accused Product practices a method to display a user interface window for a digital processing
27
28 system, wherein the method comprises: (i) starts a timer, (ii) closing the window in response to a
