`

`Pursuant to the Updated Joint Case Scheduling Report (See Case No. 2:18-cv-
`
`01844 GW(KSx), Dkt. No. 93), and the Court’s adoption of the parties’ proposed
`
`schedule (Dkt. 96), and the Court’s order extending time for narrowing elections (Dkt.
`
`200), Defendants Facebook, Inc., WhatsApp, Inc., Instagram, Inc. and Instagram LLC
`
`(“Defendants”) hereby serve their Final Election of Asserted Prior Art for U.S. Patent
`
`Nos. 7,372,961 (“the ’961 Patent”), 8,209,634 (“the ’634 Patent”), 8,279,173 (“the
`
`’173 Patent”), 8,307,713 (“the ’713 Patent”), 8,429,236 (“the ’236 Patent”), 8,677,250
`
`(“the ’250 Patent”), 9,349,120 (“the ’120 Patent”), 8,296,351 (“the ’351 Patent”), and
`
`8,676,929 (“the ’929 Patent”) (collectively, the “patents-in-suit”). For purposes of
`
`this election, a prior art instrumentality (such as a device or process) and associated
`
`references that describe that instrumentality have been counted as one reference, as
`
`well as the closely related work of a single prior artist. See Fed. Cir. Bar Assoc. “A
`
`Model Order Limiting Excess Patent Claims And Prior Art”, n. 2.
`
`Defendants reserve all rights to supplement or amend this final election of
`
`asserted prior art. For example, Defendants’ election and reduction of asserted prior
`
`art is made based on Defendants’ current understanding of Plaintist claimed priority
`
`dates for each of the patents-in-suit and Plaintiff’s infringement contentions, including
`
`its election of asserted claims. Defendants reserve the right to supplement or amend
`
`their election of asserted prior art should Plaintiff’s contentions regarding any of these
`
`issues change.
`
`Plaintiff has also not adequately responded to Defendants’
`
`interrogatory seeking Plaintiff’s contentions on why the asserted prior art does not
`
`invalidate the asserted claims. Defendants reserve the right to supplement or amend
`
`their election should Plaintiff supplement
`
`its
`
`interrogatory response with new
`
`contentions. Defendants further reserve the right to supplement or amend their
`
`election of asserted prior art based on any further claim construction order provided
`
`by the Court. Discovery is also on-going, including discovery of Plaintiff, the alleged
`
`inventors, the patent prosecution firms, and third-party prior art inventors. As a result,

`

`Defendants reserve the right to supplement or amend their election based on additional
`
`discovery. Defendants further reserve the right to use non-elected prior art for any
`
`purpose other than for prior art
`
`invalidity,
`
`including for example,
`
`to provide a
`
`technical background and show the state of the art at the time of the alleged invention
`
`of any of the patents-in-suit, to show the understanding of a person of ordinary skill in
`
`the art at the time of the alleged invention of any of the patents-in-suit, and/or
`
`demonstrate the incremental value (if any) of the alleged inventions over the prior art
`
`for determining damages.
