(c) Infringement Contentions
The infringement theories for each defendant and for each of the accused
instrumentalities are identified in the claim charts on the provided FTP site. Rockstar alleges
that each of the accused instrumentalities infringes each asserted claim literally and directly.
Alternatively, based upon the evidence set forth in the claim charts provided on the FTP site and
for the reasons set forth in Rockstar’s complaint as to each defendant, Rockstar contends that
each of the accused instrumentalities infringes each asserted claim of each asserted patent via
indirect infringement, both induced and contributory. Rockstar notes that the contentions
provided on the FTP site include those for U.S. Patent Nos. 5,838,551 (“the ’551 patent”),
6,037,937 (“the ’937 patent”), 6,128,298 (“the ’298 Patent”), 6,333,973 (“the ’973 Patent”),
6,463,131 (“the ’131 Patent”), 6,765,591 (“the ’591 Patent”), and 6,937,572 (“the ’572 Patent”).
(d) Doctrine of Equivalents
Rockstar contends that each of the accused instrumentalities for each defendant infringes
each of the asserted claims literally and directly. In the alternative, Rockstar contends that any
element found not to be literally infringed is infringed under the doctrine of equivalents because
the differences between the claimed inventions and the accused instrumentalities, if any, are
McKool 974759v1

Case 2:13-cv-00901-JRG Document 44-9 Filed 03/28/14 Page 7 of 34 PageID #: 632

insubstantial. Rockstar also contends that defendants directly infringe the asserted claims by
making, using, offering for sale, selling, and importing in to the United States the accused
instrumentalities as well as indirectly infringe each of the asserted claims by contributing to
and/or inducing others (e.g., defendants’ customers or its customers’ customers) to directly
infringe those claims. Rockstar further contends that defendants’ infringement is deliberate and
willful entitling Rockstar to an injunction, enhanced damages, and attorneys’ fees.
(e) Priority dates:
See section (a) supra.
(f) Software as Infringing Instrumentalities
Because Rockstar accuses software of infringing some elements of some of the asserted
claims of some of the asserted patents, Rockstar will, once defendants’ source code production is
complete, supplement its contentions as permitted by Patent Rule 3-1(g) or as otherwise
appropriate.
(g) Reservation of rights:
Rockstar reserves the right, consistent with the local Patent Rules, the Federal Rules and
other applicable authority, to revise its infringement theories and to identify additional accused
instrumentalities as the case progresses (e.g., through discovery, claim construction, etc.).
II.

Document Production Pursuant to P.R. 3-2

In addition to containing the claim charts discussed above, the provided FTP contains
Rockstar’s document production pursuant to P.R. 3-2. The following lists the specific
documents that correspond to each category of P.R. 3-2:
P.R. 3-2(a) Documents: RKS_EDTEX_0001289 to RKS_EDTEX_0001299.
P.R. 3-2(b) Documents: RKS_EDTEX_0001283 to RKS_EDTEX_0001288.
P.R. 3-2(c) Documents: RKS_EDTEX_0000001 to RKS_EDTEX_0001282.
Rockstar has used its best efforts to identify responsive P.R. 3-2. However, as discovery
progresses, Rockstar reserves the right to supplement its document production to identify
additional responsive documents. To the extent additional responsive documents are identified
during the course of discovery, Rockstar will promptly supplement its production.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Claim 1
ACCUSED PRODUCTS 1
A
method
of The Accused Products comprise a method of activating functions responsive to a user input.
activating functions
responsive to a user For example, to the extent the preamble is limiting, the Accused Products running the Android
input, comprising:
operating system include at least one pre-installed e-mail application, including at least Gmail, in
which different functions are activated based on the user input. As one example, these e-mail
applications provide a method for activating different manipulation functions based on the user input
recognized by gestures such as long-tap and drag (for highlighting and editing), pinch and expand
(for zooming) and dragging (for shifting the visible page area) as shown in the exemplary screenshot
citations 1.1(3)-(5) and public document citation 1.1(7).

The e-mail applications, for example Gmail, provide a method which allows a user to give input by
selecting control tools associated with numerous control functions (examples of which are
highlighted in screenshot 1.1(1)). For example, a control tool including control functions, such as
“Reply” and “Forward” (among others), as shown in screenshot citations 1.1(1)-1.1(2). As further
example, “Reply” in the control tool permits activation of the function of replying to a message as
shown in the screenshot citation 1.1(1). In yet another example, “Forward” permits activation of the
function of forwarding a message as shown in screenshot citation 1.1(2) and public document
citation 1.1(6). Other control functions, such as “Delete,” “Send,” and “Compose,” among others,
are also associated with a control tool, as shown in screenshot citations 1.1(1) and 1.1(6).
See also, for example and without limitation, Sections 1.2-1.6.

1
The Accused Products include ZTE’s phones and tablets listed in Attachment A, and any other product uncovered during discovery that is capable of
responding to user input by activating a manipulation function when a user does not select a control tool or permitting activation of a control tool function in
response to user input.

Rockstar reserves the right to add additional information and infringement theories once discovery
begins in this case, particularly once Samsung produces its source code and technical documents.
