`with Think Products‟ Infringement
`Contentions as “Exhibit 1.”
`
`Alternatively, if the preamble of independ-

`Combination Laptop Lock” is a “locking
`assembly” useful for the intended use recited
`in the preamble of Claim 1.
`
` a captive security rod having a
`“Exhibit 2” of Plaintiff‟s Infringement Con-
`
`locking end and an anchoring end, where- tentions is photograph of the Kensington

`

`

`
`
` said captive security rod partially
`in said at least one housing and partially

`and before locking use; and
`
` a locking device with a locking
`mechanism,
`
`
`wherein the locking device is configured
`with an opening to receive the locking
`end of the captive security rod to activate
`the locking mechanism, where the
`activation causes the locking mechanism
`to securely grasp the locking end and
`thereby lock the security rod and portable
`electronic device to the locking device.
`
`“Exhibit 2” shows a “captive security rod” or
`spike, while the instructional guide (“Exhibit
`1”) describes a sequence of acts required to
`anchor the captive security rod or anchor:
`
`Instruction No. 1 (“Exhibit 1”) depicts an
`anchor with an anchoring end and a locking
`end; the depiction shows an arrow directing
`the anchoring end through a slot in a
`computer housing;
`
`Instruction No. 2 (“Exhibit 1”) depicts the
`anchor in the housing;
`
`Instruction No. 3 (“Exhibit 1”) depicts the
`anchor being turned clockwise using an
`Allen wrench to anchor the anchor in the
`housing; and
`
`Instruction No. 4 (“Exhibit 1”) depicts the
`anchor fixed partially in and partially out of
`the housing, before locking use.
`
`“Exhibit 2” shows an “internal locking
`mechanism,” as labeled.
`
`In a second set of instructions, Nos. 1 – 4
`(“Exhibit 1”), is provided a sequence of steps
`for locking the computer using a cable
`assembly after the anchor has been secured in
`the housing.
`
`Instruction No. 1 (“Exhibit 1”) depicts a
`cable, to which a tamper resistant lock
`head/combination lock (“the lock head”) is
`attached, being wrapped around a table
`structure after the lock head is passed
`through a loop at the end of the cable;
`Instruction 2 (“Exhibit 1”) depicts the lock
`head being moved to the anchor fixed
`partially in, and partially out, of the housing,
`to receive the portion of the anchor extending
`out from the housing in the lock head;
`
`Instruction 3 (“Exhibit 1”) shows the lock
`head completely enveloping the locking end

`instruction guide, describes a sequence of acts
`required to anchor a captive security rod or
`anchor according to the following steps;
`
`Instruction No. 1 (“Exhibit 1”) depicts an anchor
`with an anchoring end and a locking end – the
`depiction shows an arrow directing the anchoring
`end through a slot in a computer housing;
`
`Instruction No. 2 (“Exhibit 1”) depicts the
`anchor in the housing;
`
`Instruction No. 3 (“Exhibit 1”) depicts the
`anchor being turned clockwise using an allen
`wrench to anchor the anchor in the housing; and,

`formed with an anchoring end
`separated axially by a protruding end,
`
` said captive security rod being
`captive partially in said at least one
`housing and partially out of said at
`least one housing during and before
`locking use;
`
` a locking device with an
`internal locking mechanism and a
`cable permanently attached to the
`locking device at one end,
`
`
`
`
`- 4 -

`
`

`

`the method comprising acts of:
`
` securedly fixing the anchoring
`end of the captive security rod or
`spike to the portable electronic device
`upon or through the housing;
`
` attaching another end of the
`cable to the substantially immovable
`object; and
`
`
` inserting the protruding end of
`the captive, security rod into an
`opening in the locking device to
`actuate the internal locking
`mechanism and lock the locking
`device to the captive security rod and,
`therefore, the portable
`electronic device to which it is
`anchored, to the substantially
`immovable object.

`In a second set of Instructions No. 1 – 4
`(“Exhibit 1”), presented over several pages of the
`instruction guide, a sequence of steps is depicted
`for locking the computer using the cable
`assembly after the anchor has been secured in the
`housing.
`
`Instruction No. 1 (“Exhibit 1”) depicts a cable, to
`which a tamper resistant lock head/combination
`lock (“the lock head”) is attached, being wrapped
`around a table structure after the lock head is
`passed through a loop at the end of the cable.
`
`Instruction No. 2 (“Exhibit 1”) depicts the lock
`head being moved to the anchor fixed partially in
`and partially out of the housing, to receive the
`portion of the anchor extending out from the
`housing in the lock head.
`
`Instruction No. 3 (“Exhibit 1”) shows the lock
`head completely enveloping the locking end of
`the anchor; and
`
`Instruction 4 shows the computer secured to the
`table structure (“substantially immovable
`object”),
`
`thereby practicing each and every method step of
`independent method Claim 16 of the „758 Patent.
