`
`
`THE ASSERTED PATENTS
`
`6.
`
`The Hypermedia Patents disclose the solution to a problem created by internet web
`
`navigation which lacked linear navigation for media elements such as television shows, movies, radio
`
`programs, concert viewings, which were increasingly unorganized with virtually unlimited number
`
`of choices, for example, searching for a content on the search term “President” in December 1998 on
`
`www.Facebook.com would yield non-linear results.
`
`7.
`
`In 1998, one of the major search engine, Yahoo!’s search engine provided this simple
`
`categorical home page with no media content navigation.

`

`
`Search results through browsers were lists of links with no linear navigation for media
`
`elements such as videos, images, and/or audio files or websites, for example, a search result for
`
`president would look like this in 1999:
`
`
`
`9.
`
`The Hypermedia patents solved this problem by creating a linear navigation resource
`
`program to navigate media elements by pulling multiple media elements from multiple hypermedia
`
`resources from multiple remote information nodes and provides them to the subscriber station through
`
`an interface which provides presentation of a media element and a linear navigation through a path
`
`of additional media elements.

`States, by, among other things, directly or through intermediaries, making, using, selling and/or
`
`offering for sale the Accused Instrumentality, covered by one or more claims of the ’323 Patent to the
`
`injury of Hypermedia. Defendant is directly infringing, literally infringing, and/or infringing the ’323
`
`Patent under the doctrine of equivalents. Defendant is thus liable for infringement of the ’323 Patent
`
`pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 271(a).
`
`24.
`
`The Accused Instrumentality infringes claim 10 of the ’323 Patent as it performs a
`
`method for presenting video media elements to a subscriber station by receiving request from the
`
`subscriber station to present at least one video element to the subscriber (e.g. Facebook receives a
`
`request from a user for presenting video media elements results); selecting a plurality of video media
`
`elements for presentation the subscriber station (e.g. Facebook video search selects a plurality of video
`
`elements); creating a file for use by the subscriber station to create a user interface (e.g. Facebook video
`
`14
`
`search presents a viewing area of a user selected video); and transmitting the file to the subscriber
`
`15
`
`16
`
`17
`
`18
`
`19
`
`station. See Ex. A-1, Figs. 1-8.
`
`25.
`
`The Accused Instrumentality infringes claim 11 of the ’323 Patent as it performs the
`
`method of claim 10 and receives the request from the subscriber station includes receiving a search
`
`criteria and selecting the plurality of video media elements includes selecting the plurality of video
`
`20
`
`media elements based upon the search criteria (e.g. Facebook selects videos based on search terms).

`
`See Ex. A-1, Figs. 1-8.
`
`26.
`
`As a result of Defendant’s infringement of the ’323 Patent, Hypermedia has suffered
`
`monetary damages and is entitled to a money judgment in an amount adequate to compensate for
`
`Defendant’s infringement, but in no event less than a reasonable royalty for the use made of the
`
`26
`
`invention by Defendant, together with interest and costs as fixed by the court.

`
`Upon information and belief, Defendant has been and is now infringing claims 1, 2, and

`4 of the ’324 Patent in the State of California, in this Judicial District, and elsewhere in the United
`
`States, by, among other things, directly or through intermediaries, making, using, selling and/or
`
`offering for sale the Accused Instrumentality, covered by one or more claims of the ’324 Patent to the
`
`11
`
`injury of Hypermedia. Defendant is directly infringing, literally infringing, and/or infringing the ’324
`
`12
`

`
`pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 271(a).
`
`29.
`
`The Accused Instrumentality infringes claim 1 of the ’324 Patent as it performs a
`
`method for presenting video media elements to a subscriber station by receiving request from the
`
`17
`
`subscriber station to present at least one video element to the subscriber (e.g. Facebook receives a

`
`search presents a viewing area of a user selected video); and transmitting the file to the subscriber
`
`station. See Ex. B-1, Figs. 1-12.
`
`30.
`
`The Accused Instrumentality infringes claim 2 of the ’324 Patent as it performs the
`
`method of claim 1 and each of the first plurality of video media elements and the second plurality of
`
`video elements are associated with the Web site. See Ex. B-1, Figs. 1-12.
