`Multiple web pages on Fingerhut’s website1 implement and/or include one or more computer-readable
`non-transitory storage media embodying software. For example, the home page for the Fingerhut website,
`which may be accessed and displayed on a web browser at a user’s computer system, includes a
`“Feedback” icon powered by Qualtrics Labs (Qualtrics) feedback solutions that enable Qualtrics Comment
`Cards. The Qualtrics feedback solutions including Comment Cards allow for users that access
`Fingerhut.com to submit various types of page-specific feedback (such as ratings and comments)
`concerning the particular web page by selecting the “Feedback” icon, an example of which is identified

`connection with websites of Qualtrics and/or Qualtrics Customer websites, including Kmart (kmart.com), Move.com (move.com), and Sears (sears.com), which
`are substantially similar implementations.

`each of a plurality of

`Accused Instrumentality
`Fingerhut.com Utilizing Qualtrics Feedback Solutions Including Comment Cards
`
`
`Most, if not all, web pages on the Fingerhut website implementing Qualtrics feedback solutions including
`Comment Cards include a “user-selectable element” that is viewable on each of a plurality of particular
`web pages of the website (e.g., such as the Fingerhut home page from fingerhut.com) and solicits page-
`specific user feedback concerning the particular web page upon initial display of the particular web page.
`
`For example, multiple web pages on the Fingerhut website (such as the Fingerhut home page) include a
`“Feedback” icon (i.e., the “user-selectable element”), an example of which is identified below. When the
`user navigates to and accesses the Fingerhut.com home page (or other particular web page), the
`“Feedback” icon is viewable upon initial display of the web page. This icon solicits page-specific user
`feedback, such as subjective ratings and/or open-ended comments, concerning a particular web page from
`each user accessing the web page. This is ultimately accomplished via the mechanism explained further
`below by which the user provides and submits such page-specific user feedback concerning the particular
`web page. Indeed, users familiar with this feedback collection system know from experience that they
`must first select the icon to provide the page-specific user feedback, such as through subjective rating
`and/or open-ended comments, concerning the particular web page. The solicitation occurs automatically
`upon the user navigating to and accessing the Fingerhut.com home page (or other particular web page),
`and the user need not provide input.

`provide feedback in the form of one or more ratings based upon the user’s perceived impressions of the
`particular web page as a whole. The “Overall” rating allows the user to provide a page-specific subjective
`rating of the particular web page as a whole, and each of the “Product Information,” “Look and Feel,” and
`“Ease of Use” ratings allows the user to rate at least one characteristic of the particular web page as a
`whole. Each of these numerical rating scales allows the user to rate the particular web page as a whole
`using a one to five (1-5) scale with at least one positive, neutral, and negative rating.

`
`It is also clear that the Qualtrics feedback solutions including Comment Cards operate on a page-specific
`basis, even where the Comment Card does not explicitly confirm that any entered feedback concerns the
`particular web page, because, for example, in order to request a Comment Card, the system constructs the
`Comment Card’s URL to include a “PageURL” component. As such, this component embedded within
`the URL is one method for later associating the particular web page with any feedback concerning that
`particular web page for analytics, reporting, or other purposes. For example, when fingerhut.com is the
`particular web page for feedback, the URL appears as:
`“PageURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fingerhut.com%2F”.3
`
`As can be seen from the source code of the Qualtrics Comment Card below, the particular web page,

`Qualtrics confirms that its feedback solutions allow end-users to provide user feedback, for example:
` “Receiving website feedback is easy with the Feedback Link. This allows you to know what your

`available at http://qualtrics.com/university/researchsuite/distributing/more-distribution-

` “The Feedback Link collects visitor’s opinions of your website. . . . Because a Feedback Link is
`passive, it may attract extreme viewpoints in the survey results – people who actively seek out a
`way to provide feedback because they either had an exceptionally positive or an exceptionally
`negative experience. . . . In general the Feedback Link is appropriate for collecting reactive website

`
`It is also clear that the Qualtrics feedback solutions including Comment Cards operate on a page-specific
`basis, even where the Comment Card does not explicitly confirm that any entered feedback concerns the
`particular web page, because, for example, in order to request a Comment Card, the system constructs the
`Comment Card’s URL to include a “PageURL” component. As such, this component embedded within
`the URL is one method for later associating the particular web page with any feedback concerning that
`particular web page for analytics, reporting, or other purposes. For example, when fingerhut.com is the
`particular web page for feedback, the URL appears as:
`“PageURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fingerhut.com%2F”.4
`
`
`4 The full URL for the fingerhut.com Comment Card is: http://bluestembrands.az1.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_41le6U2PrJjvJad&Pagetype=site+section&
`PageURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fingerhut.com%2F&Timeonsite=0%7C0&CustomerID=undefined&pagecount=4.

`knowledge of the page-specific nature of the feedback, the Qualtrics feedback solutions including
`Comment Cards system ultimately collects, analyzes, and reports all feedback as it concerns the particular

` “Receiving website feedback is easy with the Feedback Link. This allows you to know what your
`website visitors are thinking and improve their experience.” Qualtrics, “Website Feedback,”
`available at http://qualtrics.com/university/researchsuite/distributing/more-distribution-

` “The Feedback Link collects visitor’s opinions of your website. . . . Because a Feedback Link is
`passive, it may attract extreme viewpoints in the survey results – people who actively seek out a
`way to provide feedback because they either had an exceptionally positive or an exceptionally
`negative experience. . . . In general the Feedback Link is appropriate for collecting reactive website
`feedback.” Qualtrics, “Feedback Link,” available at http://qualtrics.com/university/site-
