prayer for relief, including that requested in Paragraphs (a) through (f). Apple has not directly or
indirectly infringed the Asserted Patents, either literally or by the doctrine of equivalents,
willfully or otherwise. Motorola Mobility is not entitled to recover statutory damages,
compensatory damages, enhanced damages, an accounting, injunctive relief, costs, fees, interest
or any other type of recovery from Apple. Motorola Mobility’s prayer should, therefore, be
denied in its entirety and with prejudice, and Motorola Mobility should take nothing.
II. DEFENSES
In addition to the defenses described below, Apple expressly reserves the right to allege
additional defenses as they become known through the course of discovery.
FIRST DEFENSE – FAILURE TO STATE A CLAIM
60.
The Complaint fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted because
Apple has not performed any act or thing and is not proposing to perform any act or thing in
7
Deleted: ¶
violation of any rights validly belonging to Motorola Mobility
SECOND DEFENSE – NONINFRINGEMENT
61.
Apple does not infringe and has not infringed, either directly, indirectly,
contributorily or by inducement, any claims of the Asserted Patents, either literally or under the
doctrine of equivalents, willfully or otherwise.
THIRD DEFENSE – PATENT INVALIDITY
62.
Motorola Mobility’s alleged claims for infringement of the Asserted Patents are
barred because each and every claim of the Asserted Patents is invalid for failure to comply with
the requirements of Title 35 of the United States Code, including but not limited to Sections 102,
103 and/or 112.
FOURTH DEFENSE – LACHES
63.
Motorola Mobility’s claims for relief are barred in whole or in part by the
equitable doctrine of laches.
FIFTH DEFENSE – ESTOPPEL
64.
Motorola Mobility’s claims for relief are barred in whole or in part by the doctrine
of equitable estoppel.
SIXTH DEFENSE – STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS
65.
To the extent Motorola Mobility seeks damages for alleged infringement more
than six years prior to filing of this action, the relief sought by Motorola Mobility is barred by 35
U.S.C. § 286.
SEVENTH DEFENSE – ABSOLUTE INTERVENING RIGHTS
66.
To the extent Motorola Mobility seeks damages for alleged infringement of
claims 25-27 of the ’006 patent before January 12, 2010, the date of issue for the reexamination
certificate of the ’006 patent, the relief sought by Motorola Mobility is barred by 35 U.S.C.
§ 252.
EIGHTH DEFENSE – EQUITABLE INTERVENING RIGHTS
67.
To the extent Motorola Mobility seeks damages for alleged infringement of
8
claims 25-27 of the ’006 patent after January 12, 2010, the date of issue for the reexamination
certificate of the ’006 patent, the relief sought by Motorola Mobility is barred by 35 U.S.C.
§ 252.
NINTH DEFENSE – NOTICE
68.
To the extent Motorola Mobility seeks damages for alleged infringement prior to
its giving actual or constructive notice of the ’987, ’119, ’006, ’737, ’531 and ’161 patents to
Apple, the relief sought by Motorola Mobility is barred by 35 U.S.C. § 287.
TENTH DEFENSE – PROSECUTION HISTORY ESTOPPEL
69.
Motorola Mobility is estopped from construing the claims of the ’987, ’119, ’006,
’737, ’531 and ’161 patents in such a way as may cover any of Apple’s products or processes by
reasons of statements made to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“Patent Office”) during the
prosecution of the applications that led to the issuance of the ’987, ’119, ’006, ’737, ’531 and
’161 patents.
ELEVENTH DEFENSE – PATENT EXHAUSTION/IMPLIED LICENSE
70.
The relief sought by Motorola Mobility is barred in whole or in part by the
doctrines of patent exhaustion and/or implied license.
TWELFTH DEFENSE – LACK OF STANDING
71.
Motorola Mobility lacks standing to bring this suit because essential parties are
not named in this action.
THIRTEENTH DEFENSE – NO INJUNCTIVE RELIEF
72.
To the extent Motorola Mobility seeks injunctive relief for alleged infringement,
the relief sought by Motorola Mobility is unavailable because any alleged injury to Motorola
Mobility is not immediate or irreparable and because Motorola Mobility has an adequate remedy
at law for any alleged injury.
FOURTEENTH DEFENSE – INEQUITABLE CONDUCT
73.
The ’006 patent is unenforceable under the doctrine of inequitable conduct. On
information and belief, prior to the issuance of the ’006 patent, at least two of the inventors
9
Deleted: , as shown on the faces of the
’987, ’119, ’006, ’737, ’531 and ’161
patents, Motorola Mobility is not the
assignee of those patents. In addition,
named on that patent, Gene Eggleston and Mitch Hansen, as well as the attorneys who
prosecuted the ’006 patent, including Anthony J. Sarli, Jr. and Terri S. Hughes, were aware of
material information, including prior art and office actions rejecting the claims of a pending,
related patent application on the basis of that prior art, but withheld, concealed and/or
mischaracterized that information with the intent to deceive the Patent Office.
74.
On December 19, 1995, Sarli filed United States patent application number
08/574,541, which ultimately issued as the ’006 patent (“the ’006 application”). The ’006
application was filed as a continuation-in-part of United States patent application number
08/557,657 (“the parent application”). On the same day the ’006 patent application was filed,
Sarli filed another application claiming priority to the same parent application, which was United
States patent application number 08/574,537 (“the related application”).
75.
Eggleston and Hansen were named as inventors on the ’006 application and the
related application. Sarli filed both the ’006 application and the related application on behalf of
the named inventors. Hughes assisted in prosecuting the ’006 application (at least as early as
January 8, 1998) and the related application (at least as early as July 22, 1997).
76.
The ’006 application and the related application were examined by different
examiners in different art units within the PTO. Eric Coleman examined the ’006 application,
while Le Hien Luu examined the related application.
77.
Sarli, Hughes, Eggleston, and Hansen had a duty to disclose to the PTO material
and non-cumulative information relating to the subject matter claimed in the ’006 application.
This duty to disclose such information began on December 19, 1995, the date the ’006
application was filed, and extended through September 28, 1999, the date the PTO issued the
’006 patent.
78.
During prosecution of the ’006 application, Sarli, Hughes, Eggleston, and Hansen
knew or should have known of the similarity between the ’006 application and the related
application and knew or should have known that both applications derived from the same parent
application. They also knew or should have known that different examiners from different art
10
groups were processing the ’006 application and the related application. On information and
belief, Sarli, Hughes, Eggleston, and Hansen had no reason to believe that each examiner knew
about the other co-pending application.
The Inventors’ and Attorneys’ Failure to Disclose the Related Application
and Material Rejections Thereof Constituted Inequitable Conduct
79.
Sarli, Hughes, Eggleston, and Hansen failed to disclose the existence of the
related application and the office actions rejecting its claims to the PTO in connection with the
’006 application’s prosecution.
80.
The ’006 application and the related application were directed to substantially the
same subject matter. The related application’s “Field of the Invention,” “Background,” “Brief
Description of the Drawings,” “Detailed Description” and accompanying figures are all
extremely similar in form and substance to those of the ’006 patent application.
81.
The claims of the ’006 application and the related application were also directed
to substantially the same subject matter. For example, original claims 1 and 5 of the ’006
application read as follows:
1. A system for communicating data with a communication unit
associated with a first user comprising:
a host server; and
a communication server, in communication with the host
server and communication unit, comprising a data transfer
manager operable for controlling communication of the data from
the host server to the communication unit including filtering of the
data based on at least one user-definable filter parameter and
providing the communication unit with identifying information
about any of the data not passing the at least one filter parameter.
5. The system of claim 1, wherein:
the data transfer manager is further operable for
communicating the at least one filter parameter to the host server;
the host server is operable for applying the at least one
filter parameter to determine whether to transfer to the
communication server a first data unit of the data, and when the
first data unit is determined not to pass the at least one filter
parameter, for determining a first identifying information about the
first data unit and sending the first identifying information to the
communication server; and
the communication server further comprising a summary
store for storing the first identifying information, and being
operable for sending the first identifying information to the
communication unit.
11
These claims were amended and ultimately issued as claims 1 and 5 in the ’006 patent:
1. A system for communicating data to a communication unit
associated with a first user comprising:
a host server operable for:
filtering individual data units based on at least one
user-definable filter parameter to identify whether a data unit is a
qualifying or non-qualifying data unit;
for qualifying data units, sending an identifying
information part and an additional part to the communication unit;
and
for non-qualifying data units sending the identifying
information part without the additional part to the communication
unit; and
a communication server, in communication with the host
server and the communication unit, comprising a data transfer
manager operable for controlling communication of the qualifying
and non-qualifying data units from the host server to the
communication unit including sending the identifying information
part and the additional part for the qualifying data units and
sending the identifying part without the additional part for the nonqualifying data units to the communication unit.
5. The system of claim 1, wherein:
the data transfer manager is further operable for
communicating the at least one filter parameter to the host server;
the host server is operable for applying the at least one
filter parameter to determine whether to transfer to the
communication server a first data unit of the data, and when the
first data unit is determined not to pass the at least one filter
parameter, for determining a first identifying information about the
first data unit and sending the first identifying information to the
communication server; and
the communication server further comprising a summary
store for storing the first identifying information, and being
operable for sending the first identifying information to the
communication unit.
Similarly, original claims 1, 5, 6, and 7 of the related application read as follows:
1. A system for communicating data with a communication unit
associated with a first user comprising:
a host server; and
a communication server, in communication with the host
server and communication unit, comprising a data transfer
manager operable for controlling communication of data between
the communication unit and host server including filtering data
from the host server based on at least one user-definable filter
parameter.
5. The system of claim 1, wherein the communication server
further comprises a user profile store storing the filter parameter,
and the data transfer manager is further operable for determining
12
the filter parameter from the user profile store and communicating
the filter parameter to the host server, the host server being
operable for applying the filter parameter to determine whether to
transfer to the communication server a first data unit addressed to
the communication unit.
6. The system of claim 5, wherein the data transfer manager
further comprises a query manager operable for determining the
filter parameter from the user profile store and communicating a
query object including the filter parameter to the host server, the
host server being operable for applying the filter parameter to filter
the first data unit before transferring the first data unit to the
communication server.
7. The system of claim 6, wherein the communication server
further comprises a summary database for storing identifying
information about filtered data units, the host server being operable
for sending identifying information of a second data unit when,
after applying the filter parameter, the second data unit is
determined to match the filter parameter, the query manager being
operable for storing the identifying information of the second data
unit in the summary database and sending the identifying
information of the second data unit to the communication unit.
82.
The ’006 application and the related application contained similar subject matter.
Information relating to the related application, including knowledge of the existence of the
related application, was not cumulative to information of record in the prosecution history of the
’006 application. The existence of the related application was material to the prosecution of the
’006 application.
83.
Sarli, Hughes, Eggleston, and Hansen had a duty to disclose the existence of the
related application to the examiner of the ’006 application. On information and belief, they
failed to disclose the existence of the related application to the examiner of the ’006 application
with intent to deceive the PTO. Their failure to disclose the existence of the related application
to the examiner of the ’006 application constituted inequitable conduct.
84.
Sarli, Hughes, Eggleston, and Hansen also had a duty to disclose to the examiner
of the ’006 application any rejections of substantially similar claims in the related application.
85.
In a April 24, 1997 Office Action, Examiner Luu rejected all 39 claims in the
related application. The examiner rejected 19 claims as anticipated by U.S. Patent No. 5,621,727
(“Vaudreuil”), 15 claims as obvious over Vaudreuil alone, and 4 claims as obvious over
13
Vaudreuil in combination with either U.S. Patent No. 5,276,680 (“Messenger”) or U.S. Patent
No. 5,406,557 (“Baudoin”). This Office Action was addressed to Sarli. As exemplified by the
above comparison of claim 5 of the ’006 application with original claim 7 of the related
application, the elements found by Examiner Luu to be disclosed in Vaudreuil are the same or
substantially similar to those contained in the claims of the pending ’006 application.
86.
In response to these rejections, attorney J. Ray Wood (with Hughes’s assistance)
filed an amendment on July 22, 1997. The remarks included with this amendment expressly
referenced Vaudreuil and attempted to distinguish it from the invention in the application.
87.
In a November 19, 1997 Final Office Action, the PTO again rejected all pending
claims. The examiner rejected 43 claims as obvious over Vaudreuil in combination with U.S.
Patent No. 5,621,727 (“Emery”) and 2 claims as obvious over Vaudreuil in combination with
Emery and Baudoin. Again, this Office Action was addressed to Sarli. As exemplified by the
above comparison of claim 5 of the ’006 application with original claim 7 of the related
application, the elements found by Examiner Luu to be disclosed in Vaudreuil are the same or
substantially similar to those contained in the claims of the pending ’006 application.
88.
In response to the Final Office Action, Hughes filed another amendment on April
15, 1998. This amendment canceled 39 claims, including original claim 7. It also expressly
referenced Vaudreuil and attempted to distinguish it from the invention in the application’s
remaining claims.
89.
In an April 21, 1998 Advisory Action, the PTO decided that the amendment
would not be entered and that all claims remained rejected. When Sarli and Hughes did not
respond by the July 15, 1998 deadline, the PTO issued a notice of abandonment.
90.
On April 26, 1999, the examiner of the ’006 application allowed all pending
claims in the application. The examiner previously rejected these claims, but reversed his
decision based on argument from Hughes that the prior art did not disclose the feature of the
invention of providing identifying information about data not passing the filter parameter.
91.
As named inventors and prosecution counsel of record for both the ’006
14
application and the related application, Sarli, Hughes, Eggleston, and Hansen were aware of the
April 24, 1997 and November 19, 1997 Office Actions in connection with the related
application. Because the claims of the related application and the ’006 application related to
substantially similar subject matter, Examiner Luu’s April 24, 1997 and November 19, 1997
Office Actions rejecting all claims of the related application based on Vaudreuil, Messenger,
Baudoin, and Emery were material to the prosecution of the ’006 application. Examiner Luu’s
rejections were not cumulative of any other information of record in the prosecution history of
the ’006 application.
92.
Sarli, Hughes, Eggleston, and Hansen had a duty to disclose Examiner Luu’s
Office Actions rejecting the related application’s claims to the examiner of the ’006 application.
They failed to disclose these Office Actions.
93.
On information and belief, Sarli, Hughes, Eggleston, and Hansen failed to
disclose these Office Actions with intent to deceive the PTO, and their actions therefore
constituted inequitable conduct. In November 1997, they received the Final Office Action
rejecting for the second time all claims in the related application based on Vaudreuil, including
original claim 7, which claimed the use of a summary database to store identifying information
about filtered data units and the sending of that identifying information to the communication
unit. Two months later, in January 1998, they filed an amendment to the claims in the ’006
application without referencing the Office Actions rejecting all claims in the related application.
Three months after that, in April 1998, they cancelled 42 of the related application’s 46 claims,
including original claim 7. Yet, they continued to argue to the examiner of the ’006 application
– without disclosing the Office Actions rejecting all claims in the related application – that the
prior art did not disclose the feature of providing identifying information about data not passing
the filter parameter. The examiner subsequently allowed the claims of the ’006 patent.
The Inventors’ and Attorneys’ Failure to Disclose the Vaudreuil Reference
Constituted Inequitable Conduct
94.
During the prosecution of the ’006 application, Sarli, Hughes, Eggleston, and
15
Hansen failed to disclose Vaudreuil. A copy of Vaudreuil is attached as Exhibit A hereto.
95.
Upon information and belief, Sarli, Hughes, Eggleston, and Hansen had
knowledge of Vaudreuil at least by April 24, 1997, during the pendency of the ’006 application,
and more than two years and five months before the issuance of the ’006 patent. They learned of
Vaudreuil at least by April 24, 1997, when the examiner reviewing the related application issued
an office action rejecting all claims and identifying Vaudreuil as relevant to the prosecution of
that application in the Notice of References Cited. Vaudreuil is one of only six references listed
on the examiner’s Notice of References Cited and was the basis (at least in part) for the rejection
of every single claim in the related application.
96.
Upon information and belief, Sarli, Hughes, Eggleston, and Hansen knew that
Vaudreuil was material prior art to the ’006 patent application because Vaudreuil teaches a
communications system that “can filter and route messages given the preferences of each user.”
See Exhibit A col. 26:2-4. Moreover, this communications system contains a translator that can
“use many different filters in sequence to accomplish . . . data-to-data conversion,” id. col.
19:23-27. Upon information and belief, Sarli, Hughes, Eggleston, and Hansen further knew that
Vaudreuil was material prior art because all of the original claims of the related application,
including original claim 7, were twice rejected on the basis of Vaudreuil.
97.
Vaudreuil is highly material prior art to the ’006 patent. The examiner of the
related application determined that Vaudreuil anticipated or rendered obvious (either alone or in
combination with other prior art) all claims of the related application. For example, the examiner
concluded that Vaudreuil anticipated original claim 7 of the related application because
Vaudreuil teaches a summary database. This summary database stores the user’s routing and
filtering settings (Exhibit A col. 23:14-17), such as the type of translation the user desires that
certain messages undergo (id. col. 19:23-27). The storing and sending of identifying information
claimed in the ’006 application is a form of translation for messages that meet a certain criteria
(i.e., filtered messages).
98.
Vaudreuil is not cumulative to any references disclosed during prosecution of the
16

’006 Patent. None of the references cited to the Patent Office describe the inventions claimed in
Vaudreuil.
99.
Upon information and belief, Sarli, Hughes, Eggleston, and Hansen failed to
disclose Vaudreuil during prosecution of the ’006 patent with an intent to deceive the Patent
Office. In November 1997, they received the Final Office Action rejecting for the second time
all claims in the related application based on Vaudreuil, including original claim 7, which
claimed the use of a summary database to store identifying information about filtered data units
and the sending of that identifying information to the communication unit. Two months later, in

providing identifying information about data not passing the filter parameter. The examiner
subsequently allowed the claims of the ’006 patent.
100.
Vaudreuil qualifies as prior art to the ’006 patent under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e)(2).
The United States patent application that issued as Vaudreuil, U.S. Patent Application No.
499,198, was filed on July 7, 1995, more than five months prior to the December 19, 1995 filing
date of the ’006 application.
101.
Upon information and belief, the examiner did not consider Vaudreuil during
prosecution of the ’006 patent.
102.
The above acts of fraud on the Patent Office committed during the prosecution of
the ’006 patent constitute inequitable conduct.
The Inventors’ and Attorneys’ Failure to Disclose the Harkins Reference
Constituted Inequitable Conduct
103.
During the prosecution of the ’006 patent application, Sarli, Hughes, Eggleston,
and Hansen failed to disclose U.S. Patent No. 5,513,126 (“Harkins”), filed on October 4, 1993
and issued on April 30, 1996. A copy of Harkins is attached as Exhibit B hereto.
17
Deleted: D
104.
Upon information and belief, Sarli, Hughes, Eggleston, and Hansen had
knowledge of Harkins at least by April 24, 1997, during the pendency of the ’006 application,
and more than two years and five months before the issuance of the ’006 patent. They learned of
Harkins at least by April 24, 1997, when the examiner reviewing the related application issued
an office action rejecting all claims and identifying Harkins as relevant to the prosecution of that
application in the Notice of References Cited. See Exhibit C, at 9. Harkins is one of only six
Deleted: B
references listed on the examiner’s Notice of References Cited. See id.
105.
Upon information and belief, Eggleston, Hansen, Sarli, and Hughes knew that
Harkins was material prior art to the ’006 patent application because Harkins discloses a
“Network Having Selectively Accessible Recipient Prioritized Communication Channel
Profiles.” In particular, Harkins teaches automatic filtering of communications sent by a sender
to a receiver as defined by a receiver profile. See Exhibit B, at Abstract. “The receiver profile
Deleted: D
establishes the properties and mode for receipt of information for receivers on the network . . . .
Receivers have additional control over network senders by defining an information filter which
further controls sender channel access (to a receiver) by defining some channels as having
priority of access such as direct or delayed access, as well as selectively permitting senders to
override the receiver profile.” Id. Upon information and belief, Eggleston, Hansen and Hughes
further knew that Harkins was material prior art because they identified Harkins to the Patent
Office during prosecution of the ’531 patent. See ¶ 75 above; Exhibit D, at 5.
106.
Deleted: C
Harkins is highly material prior art to the ’006 patent. The ’006 is currently
undergoing its second ex parte reexamination. See Exhibit E. The reexamination examiner
determined that “Harkins raises a substantial new question of patentability regarding claims 24
and 25” of the ’006 patent because it provides “new and non-cumulative teachings that a
reasonable examiner would consider important in determining patentability of the claims.” Id. at
10. Claim 24 (and dependent claim 25) as originally issued include the following limitation:
a data transfer manager, coupled with the user parameter store,
adapted to control communication of data units between the
communication unit and the host server including receiving
18
Formatted: Indent: First line: 0"
individually filtered data units from the host server based on at
least one user-definable filter parameters to identify whether a data
unit is a qualifying or non-qualifying data unit, wherein for
qualifying data units, a summary part and an additional part is
received and for non-qualifying data units, the summary part
without the additional part is received, and providing the
communication unit with the summary part and the additional part
for qualifying data units and providing the communication unit
with the summary part without the additional part for nonqualifying data units.
The only alteration to this claim limitation after the first ex parte reexamination was correction
of a grammatical error through replacing with word “parameters” with the word “parameter.”
See Exhibit 3 to Motorola Mobility’s Complaint, at 20-21.
As explained by the second
reexamination examiner, the above quoted limitation is the “distinguishing feature” of claims 24
and 25 that rendered those claims patentable. Exhibit E, at 10-11. Harkins is material to claims
24 and 25 of the ’006 patent because it reads on this “distinguishing feature”:
Harkins raises a substantial new question by providing
teachings that are relevant to the distinguishing feature of claims
24 and 25. For example, Harkins suggests receiving individually
filtered data units from the host server based on at least one userdefinable filter parameter to identify whether a data unit is a
qualifying or non-qualifying data unit by teaching a device server
and Communication Channel Admin Server applying filtering
parameters before passing the data to the communication unit.
Id. at 11 (citing Harkins, col. 12; ll. 6-11; col. 7, ll. 52-54).
107.
Harkins is not cumulative to any references disclosed during prosecution of the
’006 Patent. None of the references cited to the Patent Office describe the inventions claimed in
Harkins, which anticipate and/or render obvious the ’006 patent for the reasons identified above
and in Exhibit E.
108.
Upon information and belief, Eggleston, Hansen, Sarli, and Hughes failed to
disclose Harkins during prosecution of the ’006 patent with an intent to deceive the Patent
Office. In April 1997, they received a Final Office Action rejecting all claims in the related
application and identifying Harkins as a relevant prior art reference. Six months later, in October
1998, they received an Office Action rejecting all claims in the ’006 application. Three months
later, when they filed an amendment to the claims in the ’006 application, they did so without
19
referencing Harkins.
109.
Harkins qualifies as prior art to the ’006 patent under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e)(2). The
United States patent application that issued as Harkins, U.S. Patent Application No. 08/130,828,
was filed on October 4, 1993, more than two years prior to the December 19, 1995 filing date of
the ’541 application. In addition, Harkins issued on April 30, 1996, nearly three-and-a-half years
before issuance of the ’006 patent.
110.
Upon information and belief, the examiner did not consider Harkins during
prosecution of the ’006 patent.
111.
The above acts of fraud on the Patent Office committed during the prosecution of
the ’006 patent render the ’006 patent unenforceable.

United States, Title 35 of the United States Code and the Declaratory Judgments Act, 28 U.S.C.
§§ 2201 and 2202.
174.
Motorola Mobility claims to be the owner of the ’161 patent, entitled “Method
and Apparatus in a Wireless Messaging System for Facilitating an Exchange of Address
Information,” filed on August 11, 1998 and issued on April 23, 2002. The ’161 patent on its face
identifies as inventors Lisa Jane Gromelski and Gregory Lewis Cannon. The ’161 patent on its

A.
175.
Declaration of Noninfringement
Apple incorporates herein by reference the answers and allegations set forth in
Paragraphs 1-174 above as if fully set forth herein.
176.
An actual and justiciable controversy exists between Apple and Motorola
Mobility with respect to the ’161 patent because Motorola Mobility has brought an action against
Apple alleging that Apple infringes the ’161 patent by making, using, offering for sale, selling
and/or importing certain of its iPhone products, which allegation Apple denies. Absent a
declaration of noninfringement, Motorola Mobility will continue to wrongfully assert the ’161
patent against Apple, and thereby cause Apple irreparable injury and damage.
177.
Apple has not infringed the ’161 patent, either directly or indirectly, literally or
under the doctrine of equivalents, willfully or otherwise, and is entitled to a declaration to that
effect.
178.
This is an exceptional case entitling Apple to an award of its attorneys’ fees
incurred in connection with this action pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 285.
B.
179.
Declaration of Invalidity
Apple realleges and incorporates by reference the answers and allegations set
forth in Paragraphs 1-178 above as if fully set forth herein.
180.
An actual and justiciable controversy exists between Apple and Motorola
Mobility with respect to the ’161 patent because Motorola Mobility has brought an action against
Apple alleging that Apple infringes the ’161 patent by making, using, offering for sale, selling
and/or importing certain of its iPhone products, which allegation Apple denies. Absent a
declaration of invalidity, Motorola Mobility will continue to wrongfully assert the ’161 patent
against Apple, and thereby cause Apple irreparable injury and damage.
181.
The ’161 patent is invalid under the provisions of Title 35 of the United States
Code, including but not limited to Sections 102, 103 and/or 112, and Apple is entitled to a
declaration to that effect.

182.
This is an exceptional case entitling Apple to an award of its attorneys’ fees
