`
`INTERROGATORY NO. 8
`
`Describe in detail the complete legal and factual basis for your defense that the Patents-
`in-Suit are not infringed. To be complete, your response should identify the claims of each
`Patent-in-Suit you believe are not infringed; a chart identifying each element of the claim you
`
`41
`
`UA-1013.002
`
`

`
`
`
`
`contend is not met by the Accused Products; the basis for any contention that the claims have not
`been infringed either literally or under the doctrine of equivalents; the basis for any contention
`that the claims have not been infringed directly or indirectly, including any contention that you
`lacked the intent or knowledge of the patents or infringement; the facts and documentation
`supporting your contentions; and the persons most knowledgeable of the facts and
`documentation supporting your non-infringement contentions.
`
`RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORY NO. 8
`
`In addition to its General Objections, MapMyFitness objects to this interrogatory as
`
`
`
`vague and ambiguous, overly broad, and unduly burdensome. In particular, MapMyFitness
`
`objects to the term “Accused Product” as defined by Plaintiffs as it is vague, ambiguous and
`
`insufficiently definite to place MapMyFitness on notice of the accused products and
`
`functionality. MapMyFitness further objects to this interrogatory to the extent it seeks
`
`information that is (a) protected by the attorney-client privilege or work product doctrine; (b)
`
`confidential, proprietary, or trade secret; (c) subject to MapMyFitness’s legal or contractual
`
`obligation of nondisclosure or confidentiality to a third party; or (d) not within MapMyFitness’s
`
`possession, custody, or control. MapMyFitness further objects to this interrogatory to the extent
`
`it seeks public information or information readily available to Plaintiffs. MapMyFitness also
`
`objects to this interrogatory to the extent it calls for a legal conclusion. Additionally,
`
`MapMyFitness objects to this contention interrogatory as premature to the extent Plaintiffs have
`
`not identified the asserted claims and because Plaintiffs have not yet provided their infringement
`
`contentions for the asserted patents. MapMyFitness expressly reserves the right to amend,
`
`supplement, and/or correct its responses to this interrogatory as additional information becomes
`
`available to MapMyFitness during the course of discovery and investigation, in response to any
`
`claim construction by the Court, or in response to Plaintiffs’ infringement contentions (or any
`
`supplement thereto) or Plaintiffs’ responses to Defendants’ interrogatories (or any supplement
`
`thereto).
`
`42
`
`UA-1013.003
`
`

`
`
`
`
`
`
`Subject to its General and Specific Objections, MapMyFitness responds as follows:
`
`MapMyFitness will provide its non-infringement contentions after receiving adidas’ list of
`
`asserted claims and corresponding infringement contentions, and MapMyFitness will supplement
`
`those contentions as appropriate. MapMyFitness will provide its expert reports regarding
`
`invalidity pursuant to any deadlines the Court may set for the service of such reports and will
`
`supplement those reports as appropriate and necessary and as permitted by the Court.
`
`SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORY NO. 8
`
`MapMyFitness incorporates herein its foregoing responses and objections to
`
`Interrogatory No. 8. Subject to its objections, MapMyFitness further responds as follows:
`
`MapMyFitness hereby incorporates by reference Under Armour’s Response to
`
`Interrogatory No. 9. MapMyFitness’s response to this interrogatory is preliminary because
`
`discovery is still ongoing, the claims of the asserted patents have not been construed, and adidas’
`
`infringement contentions are vague, ambiguous, and incomplete. Adidas has failed to provide
`
`any contentions or facts supporting a theory of indirect infringement. Accordingly, adidas
`
`cannot meet its burden of proving indirect infringement for any asserted claim of the asserted
`
`patents, and should be precluded from asserting indirect infringement. Adidas has also failed to
`
`identify the person or entity that adidas contends practices each step of each asserted method
`
`claim. Adidas, therefore, cannot meet its burden of proving direct infringement of any asserted
`
`method claim.
`
`MapMyFitness provides a specific response for each asserted patent below. As it is not
`
`MapMyFitness’s burden to establish that MapMyFitness does not infringe the patents-in-suit, the
`
`content of MapMyFitness’s response below should not and cannot be deemed an admission that
`
`adidas has met its burden of proving infringement of any claim or claim element.
`
`43
`
`UA-1013.004
`
`

`
`
`
`
`
` The accused mobile phones on which the MMF app runs are not a “modular mobile
`position logging system” as that term has been construed. Adidas has not presented any
`evidence that the mobile phone includes multiple devices that may be easily modified by
`adding or removing components.
`
` Adidas asserts that pedometers, cadence monitors, and the Armour39 device are position
`monitors. These devices are not position monitors as that term is used and claimed in the
`562 Patent.
`
` Adidas asserts that the position monitor is the GPS component integrated in the mobile
`phone and the input device is the mobile phone touchscreen or voice recognition
`functionality integrated in the mobile phone. This combination of components does not
`meet the elements of claims 1 and 10, which require a separate input device.
`
` Adidas asserts that a Bluetooth headset that receives voice input is the claimed input
`device. Claims 1 and 10, however, require that an annotation created by the input device
`is associated with an item of position or speed data. Adidas has failed to present any
`facts or contention that voice input from a Bluetooth headset can be associated with an
`item of position or speed data.
`
` Adidas asserts that a pin dropped by a user can be associated with a position of item or
`speed data. Claims 1 and 10, however, require that the position or speed data come from
`position monitoring device, while the annotation comes from a separate input device.
`Adidas has failed to present any facts or contention that the pin and the position/speed
`data come from separate devices.
`
` The MMF app does not utilize a communications device that can upload collected speed
`or position data, input data, and the association between them to a personal computer as
`required by claims 1 and 10.
`
` Adidas asserts that recorded workouts are automatically tagged with information about
`any designated course. Claim 8, however, requires that a user tag collected data with an
`entry from a database.
`
` Adidas asserts that the user may label a workout as pertaining to a specific activity.
`Claim 8, however, requires that a user tag collected data with an entry from a database.
`
`
`
`U.S. Patent No. 8,092,345 (“The 345 Patent”)
`
`Adidas has accused the MMF app of directly infringing claims 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 10 of the
`
`345 Patent. MapMyFitness cannot infringe the asserted claims because each asserted claim is
`
`invalid under 35 U.S.C. §§ 101, 102 and 103. In addition, the MMF app does not infringe the
`
`50
`
`UA-1013.005
`
`

`
`
`
`
`asserted claims, either literally or under the doctrine of equivalents12, for at least the following
`
`reasons:
`
` MapMyFitness does not make, sell, offer to sell, use or import a system that includes the
`elements required by the asserted system claims.
`
` Adidas accuses the MMF app of being the claimed “portable electronic journal
`configured to be worn or carried by a user,” however, the MMF app, which is a software
`application, does not include any of the following elements required by claim 1: a
`memory to store journal entries, a digital camera, and a communications device.
`
` The MMF app does not include a communications device to upload journal entries to a
`personal computer.
`
` The MMF app does not allow images to be stored with the accused “journal entries” as
`required by claims 1 and 20.
`
` Claims 1 and 20 require that journal entries are formatted in a common file format.
`Adidas has failed to set forth any evidence that the accused journal entries are formatted
`in a common file format.
`
` Claim 20 requires the steps of creating an image using a digital camera and storing the
`image in memory with the journal entry. Adidas has failed to set forth any facts or
`contentions that these steps are performed using the MMF app.
`
`
`
`U.S. Patent No. 8,579,767 (“The 767 Patent”)
`
`Adidas has accused the MMF app of directly infringing claims 2, 7, 8, 12, 13, 14, 15 and
`
`16 of the 767 Patent. MapMyFitness cannot infringe the asserted claims because each asserted
`
`claim is invalid under 35 U.S.C. §§ 102, 103 and 112. In addition, the MMF app does not
`
`infringe the asserted claims, either literally or under the doctrine of equivalents13, for at least the
`
`following reasons:
`
`
`12 Adidas has failed to set forth contentions or facts supporting a theory of infringement under
`the doctrine of equivalents. Accordingly, adidas cannot meet its burden of proving infringement
`under the doctrine of equivalents for any claim of the 345 Patent and should be precluded from
`asserting infringement under the doctrine of equivalents.
`
`13 Adidas has failed to set forth contentions or facts supporting a theory of infringement under
`the doctrine of equivalents. Accordingly, adidas cannot meet its burden of proving infringement
`
`51
`
`UA-1013.006
`
`

`
`
`
`
`positions pursuant to any deadlines the Court may or has set for the service of such and will
`
`supplement those terms and positions as appropriate. MapMyFitness will provide its expert
`
`reports regarding claim construction pursuant to any deadlines the Court may set for the service
`
`of such reports and will supplement those reports as appropriate and necessary and as permitted
`
`by the Court.
`
`SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORY NO. 12
`
`MapMyFitness incorporates herein its foregoing responses and objections to
`
`Interrogatory No. 12. Subject to its objections, MapMyFitness further responds as follows:
`
`MapMyFitness incorporates by reference its (i) January 14, 2015, proposed terms for
`
`construction; (ii) January 28, 2015, proposed constructions for claim terms; (iii) February 18,
`
`2015, joint claim construction statement; (iv) March 2, 2015, revised joint claim construction

`chart; (v) March 6, 2015, opening claim construction brief and exhibits thereto; and (vi) April 6,
