Shawn,
It was nice speaking with you today. As discussed, Google would like to amend its invalidity contentions to add new
charts for each of the references cited in my September 9 email as printed publications under sections 102 and 103.
These charts would be in addition to the existing system charts in the invalidity contentions.
As we discussed, during the course of discovery, Google became aware of the possible relevance of the IPO filings to our
system references. As a result, Google conducted a search on the SEC’s online EDGAR service for these filings. Google
produced the documents that were available on EDGAR on August 8, 2014. On July 24, while Google was preparing to
produce the filings found on EDGAR, Google submitted a request to the SEC’s FOIA office for older documents from the
1

SEC’s archives that were not available on EDGAR. As previously mentioned, we received these documents on August 14,
which we produced on August 24.
Let us know if Rockstar has any other questions.
Best

Subject: Rockstar v. Google: Motion to Strike Obviousness Combinations

Counsel,
Google intends to move for leave to amend its invalidity contentions for good cause under P.R. 3-6(b) to add certain SEC
filings as printed publications under §§102 and 103, which were produced as GOOG-WRD-00871928, 872006, 872370,
872549, 872923, 873726, 874328, 874418, and OT03652. Google intends to amend its invalidity contentions to include
an additional anticipatory chart for each reference as a printed publication under §102 (the “A-__” charts in Google’s
invalidity contentions). Google also intends to add each reference as a secondary § 103 reference to the “B__” charts in
its invalidity contentions. These documents consist of IPO filings for the Excite, Infoseek, Lycos, Open Text, and Yahoo
systems that were previously identified in Google’s May 23, 2014 invalidity contentions.
Google received most of these documents, which were not available through the SEC online website, from the SEC on
August 14, 2014 and subsequently produced these documents on August 26, 2014. Google received OT03652 from
Open Text on September 5 and served Rockstar with Open Text’s production on September 8, 2014.
Please let us know if Google can file the motion unopposed. We are happy to discuss on a call.
Best,
Lance Yang
