`
`
`
`PLAINTIFF VIEW 360 SOLUTIONS, LLC’S
`FIRST AMENDED L.P.R. 3.1 AND 3.2 DISCLOSURES
`
`
`
`
`Pursuant to L.P.R. 3.1 and 3.2, Plaintiff View 360 Solutions LLC (“View 360”) submits
`
`the following first amended disclosures.
`
`L.P.R. 3.1: Disclosure of Asserted Claims and Infringement Contentions
`
`(a)
`
`View 360 alleges that the following claims in the patents-in-suit have been and
`
`continue to be infringed by Google, Inc. (“Google”) both directly (35 U.S.C. § 271(a)) and
`
`indirectly (35 U.S.C. § 271(b)).
`
`U.S. Patent No.
`
`6,157,385
`
`6,731,284
`
`6,243,099
`
`6,271,853
`
`7,542,035
`
`6,252,603
`
`6,323,862
`
`Asserted Claims
`
`1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12 and 13
`
`1, 2, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 26 and 27
`
`1, 3, 4, 5, 11, and 13
`
`1, 3, 4, 5, 11, 13, 18, 19 and 22
`
`53, 54, 69, 73, 78, 80, 82, 83, 84, 86, 89, 98, 102, 105, 113, 115, 118,
`119, 120, 121 and 123
`
`1, 12, 14, 17 and 18
`
`22, 26, 27, 28, and 37
`
`
`
`
`1
`
`
`
`8,077,176
`
`1, 4, 12, 16, 17, 19, 20 and 21
`
`(b)
`
`View 360 alleges the Google has, and continues to, directly and indirectly infringe
`
`
`
`
`each Asserted Claim via Google Street View. To the extent Google contends that a third-party
`
`performs any of the steps in the asserted method claims, View 360 alleges that such third-
`
`party(ies) perform such steps under the direction and control of Google. As a result, Google
`
`would still directly infringe such claims pursuant to the theory of joint infringement.
`
`
`
`(c)
`
`Claim charts detailing Google’s infringement of the Asserted Claims are attached
`
`hereto.
`
`
`
`(d)
`
`View 360’s allegation of indirect infringement is offered as an alternative to its
`
`direct infringement theory. View 360 contends that Google has indirectly infringed each
`
`Asserted Claim via inducing end users of Google Street View to use Google Street View.
`
`Google instructs and encourages end users to use Google Street View. When a user enters an
`
`address into Google Street View or Google Maps, Google provides the user a thumbnail image
`
`on the left side of the screen that can be used to launch Street View. D. Martin Decl. ¶13 (May
`
`31, 2012) (Case No. 2:10-cv-07747, C.D. Cal.). Users can also launch Street View “by selecting
`
`Street View from a right-click drop down menu, by zooming into the map close enough to
`
`trigger Street View, or by clicking the thumbnail on the left of the screen for Street View.” Id. at
`
`¶ 14. View 360’s investigation into Google’s practices of inducing end users to use Google
`
`Street View is ongoing and discovery in this matter has only recently begun. View 360 will
`
`likely have additional information in support of its indirect infringement allegations after
`
`discovery has concluded in this matter.
`
`
`
`(e)
`
`Based on its current understanding of the claim language and publicly available
`
`information concerning Google Street View, and without notice of any non-infringement
`
`
`
`2
`
`
`
`position from Google, View 360 asserts that Google literally infringes each Asserted Claim.
`
`View 360 further alleges that Google infringes each Asserted Claim under the doctrine of
`
`equivalents. In other words, Google Street View performs substantially the same function, in
`
`substantially the same way, to achieve substantially the same result, as the limitations of the
`
`inventions claimed in the Asserted Claims.
`
`
`
`As the parties have not yet finalized disputed claim limitations, and the Court has not yet
`
`construed the Asserted Claims, View 360 reserves the right to amend its theory under the
`
`doctrine of equivalents and its infringement contentions as necessary in accord with the Local
`
`Patent Rules.
`
`
`
`(f)
`
`Each Asserted Claim of U.S. Patent No. 6,157,385 and U.S. Patent No. 6,731,284
`
`is entitled to a priority date at least as early as May 10, 1991. Each Asserted Claim of U.S.
`
`Patent Nos. 6,243,099, 6,271,853, 7,542,035, 6,252,603, 6,323,862 and 8,077,176 is entitled to a
`
`priority date at least as early as May 31, 1996.
`
`
`
`(g)
`
`View 360 does not have its own apparatus, product, device, process, method, act,
`
`or other instrumentality that practices the claimed invention.
`
`
`
`(h)
`
`At this time View 360 has not alleged willful infringement. In accord with L.P.R.
`
`3.1(h), View 360 will supplement its response as necessary at or prior to the close of fact
`
`discovery.
`
`L.P.R. 3.2: Document Production Accompanying Infringement Disclosure
`
`(a)
`
`(b)
`
`At this time View 360 is not aware of any documents responsive to (a).
`
`See documents previously produced numbered Oxaal000001-Oxaal002045. View
`
`360’s investigation into documents responsive to L.P.R. 3.2(b) is ongoing. View 360 will
`
`
`
`3
`
`
`
`produce non-privileged responsive documents as they become known and available and will
`
`supplement this response accordingly.
`
`(c)
`
`See documents previously produced numbered VIEW360_000188-
`
`VIEW360_002235, VIEW360_002615-VIEW360_003462.

`
`Not applicable. See response to L.P.R. 3.1(g).
