EXHIBIT 2

Case No. 2:13-cv-893
Exhibit A: Infringement of U.S. Patent No. 6,098,065 by Defendant Google
The following analysis shows how each claim element is literally present. In the event that a claim element is deemed to be missing under a
literal infringement analysis (e.g., due to claim construction), Rockstar reserves the right to demonstrate the presence of a substantial
equivalent of such an element and to pursue infringement under the doctrine of equivalents.
To the extent that the descriptions below give rise to either direct or indirect infringement, Rockstar alleges both.
The screenshots below constitute exemplary results of the Accused Instrumentalities’ algorithms and source code and do not serve to limit
the scope of alleged infringement. Rockstar alleges infringement by the Accused Instrumentalities at each applicable level of abstraction,
i.e., source code, algorithms, infrastructure, etc. Further, Rockstar alleges infringement by third-party applications “powered by” Google or
that otherwise rely on the Accused Instrumentalities.

wherein searching the
database includes correlating,
as a function of a fuzzy logic
algorithm, the received search
argument and user profile data
to particular information in the
database, and providing the
particular information as the
search results.

Upon information and belief, the Accused Instrumentalities correlate as a function of a fuzzy logic algorithm
the received search argument and user profile data to particular information in the database, and provide the
particular information as the search results. For example, it is believed that the Accused Instrumentalities
utilize fuzzy logic algorithms in at least Google’s current search algorithm Hummingbird to correlate
received search arguments and user profile data to particular information in the database. On information and
belief, previous versions of Google’s search algorithm also correlated as a function of fuzzy logic the
received search argument and user profile data to particular information in the database. It is also believed
that the Accused Instrumentalities’ ability to utilize synonyms relies on fuzzy logic algorithms.
