`
`Exhibit A-2 - Preliminary Invalidity Contentions - U.S. Patent No. 9,079,107 to Oono
`Based on U.S. Patent Publication No. 2011/0300926 to Englman et al. (“Englman”)
`
`The following chart contains Supercell’s Invalidity Contentions demonstrating that Englman anticipates Claims 1-11 of U.S. Patent No.
`9,079,107 under 35 U.S.C. § 102 or renders the same claims obvious alone or in view of other prior art under 35 U.S.C. § 103. Because
`the Court has yet to issue a claim construction in this case, fact discovery is ongoing, and the invalidity of the asserted claims will likely
`be the subject of expert discovery, these contentions are preliminary only and Supercell reserves the right to supplement or modify these
`contentions in accordance with the agreed patent-disclosure procedures and the Docket Control Order in this case. Additionally, and
`in further consideration of the preliminary stages of the case, Supercell notes that the pinpoint citations referenced in this chart are not
`exhaustive, and Supercell reserves the right to rely on additional citations within the reference. Furthermore, citations to any figure,
`table, or chart are meant to encompass the language describing the respective figure, table, or chart, and vice versa.
`
`These charts also incorporate analysis based upon GREE’s apparent interpretation of the asserted claims, as reflected in GREE’s
`infringement contentions to date. Supercell does not agree with GREE’s incomplete, ambiguous, and inadequate application of the
`asserted claims in those contentions. However, as detailed below, such application (to the extent that it can be reasonably ascertained)
`further renders each asserted claim invalid. Supercell further reserves its right to supplement these contentions based on further
`discovery, including any supplemental infringement contentions or any interrogatory response purporting to rebut these invalidity
`contentions provided by GREE.
`
`Additionally, Supercell notes that while certain potential obviousness arguments and combinations may be cited within these charts,
`such recitations are not exhaustive. As such, to the extent that any asserted claims are found not to be anticipated by Englman, Supercell
`reserves the right to argue that such non-anticipated claims are obvious over Englman alone, in view of any of the arguments raised
`within the charts, in view of any of the other prior art cited in Supercell’s cover pleading, or in view of prior art that may later become
`known to Supercell as part of the discovery process.

`
`Englman discloses a game control method carried out by a game control device for providing a game
`to a plurality of communication terminals respectively used by a plurality of users, the game control
`device communicating with the plurality of communication terminals and having a storage unit.
`
`“In FIG. 1, a wagering game system (“system”) 100 includes a wagering game server 150 connected
`to one or more client devices, such as a wagering game machine 160 or a computer 137, via a
`communications network 122.” ¶ [0045]
`“The wagering game system architecture 200 can also include a wagering game server 250
`configured to present wagering games and receive and transmit information to present group games
`and awards. The wagering game server 250 can include a content controller 251 configured to
`manage and control content for the presentation of content on a client device (“client”) 260… The
`wagering game server 250 can also include a content store 252 configured to contain content to
`present on the client 260.” ¶ [0049]
`“FIG. 9 is a conceptual diagram that illustrates an example of a wagering game machine architecture
`900, according to some embodiments… The I/O bus 922 is connected to a payout mechanism 908,
`primary display 910, secondary display 912, value input device 914, player input device 916,
`information reader 918, and storage unit 930.” ¶ [0122]
`
`To the extent this limitation is not explicitly disclosed, Supercell responds that it is inherent or
`obvious. Moreover, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art to modify this
`reference so as to include this claim limitation in light of the knowledge possessed by one of ordinary
`skill in the art. Further, this claim limitation would have been obvious in light of numerous other U.S.
`patents, U.S. patent publications, articles, and products available at the time the asserted patent was

`(a) storing skill level
`information indicative of skill
`levels of each of the plurality
`of users of the game, in the
`storage unit;
`

`
`Englman discloses (a) storing skill level information indicative of skill levels of each of the plurality
`of users of the game, in the storage unit.
`
`“The wagering game system architecture 200 can also include a wagering game server 250
`configured to present wagering games and receive and transmit information to present group games
`and awards. The wagering game server 250 can include a content controller 251 configured to
`manage and control content for the presentation of content on a client device (“client”) 260… The
`wagering game server 250 can also include a content store 252 configured to contain content to
`present on the client 260.” ¶ [0049]
`“The system can utilize game scores, levels, status, etc. to perform better on triggering or obtaining
`items in some kinds of wagering games, such as bonus games, skill based wagering games, etc. (e.g.,
`a level 5 group member may have a greater chance of obtaining certain items or performing well on
`certain items than a level 1 group member).” ¶ [0066]
`“Collections achievements may further be awarded for collecting combinations of other
`Achievements. For example, a player may be given a special achievement for participating in five
`different casino openings. As with the event achievements, the rules and mechanisms for issuing
`Collection Achievements may reside and be administered centrally, for example by the virtual asset
`server, rather than in the individual wagering games or terminals. The term Advancing Achievement
`refers to a type of achievement where a new, higher level achievement replaces a previous, lower-
`level achievement (e.g., a player does not collect two different achievements but rather collects a
`single achievement that advances with play).” ¶ [0083]
`“Additionally, the amount or nature of virtual assets awarded to a player may be dependent upon
`player's accounts, player level or status, accumulation of other assets, or virtually any other criteria of
`a player's account or profile that may be monitored by the system and evaluated by one or more rule
`sets. For example, a “platinum” player may receive a different number or quality of virtual assets for
`a particular event as compared to a “silver” player. Many other configurations are possible.” ¶ [0095]

`“In FIG. 3, the flow 300 begins at processing block 302, where a wagering game system (“system”)
`registers a player account as a group member to compete in a group scavenger hunt game. The
`system can present a themed scavenger hunt game. The scavenger hunt game can be a group game,
`where a group of player accounts join together to form a scavenger hunt group. In some
`embodiments, the system can facilitate creating groups by connecting player accounts and presenting
`controls where players can form a group amongst their friends, family, or other social contacts listed
`in the player account.” ¶ [0060]

`Englman discloses (c) providing one or more of a plurality of game pieces to a first plurality of users
`in a first group of said one or more groups, based on the skill level information, while the first
`plurality of users are at certain events in the game.
`
`The system can attribute scores, levels, status, etc. on a personal trophy case for how many items the
`player obtained so that the player obtains satisfaction on a personal level. The system can utilize
`game scores, levels, status, etc. to perform better on triggering or obtaining items in some kinds of
`wagering games, such as bonus games, skill based wagering games, etc. (e.g., a level 5 group
`member may have a greater chance of obtaining certain items or performing well on certain items
`than a level 1 group member). … The system can provide players with tickets based on the number of
`items that a player account obtained during the group scavenger hunt game. By receiving more
`tickets, a player account would have a greater chance of winning the award. In some examples, if an
`item requires an event to be obtained multiple times, then the system could award tickets to player
`accounts based on the number of times that the player account completed the event for the item.
`Some tickets may be more valuable than others may (e.g., have values greater than one ticket).

`“In some embodiments, some achievements may be awarded based upon accumulation of other
`achievements or assets, such that the awarding of virtual assets is subject to a hierarchy. For example,
`collecting achievements such as ribbons may permit a player to be awarded a higher-level
`achievement, such as a medal, in accordance with one or more rule sets. In an example, collecting ten

`ribbons provides a player with a medal as an achievement, while further still, collecting ten medals
`awards the player a trophy, as an achievement or asset. Such hierarchy may be provided to players in
`a number of ways, including via gaming terminals or over the internet. Moreover, the rules set(s) of
`the system may further govern which players may win higher-level achievements. For example, in an
`embodiment, only one player may win a trophy (a higher-level achievement) even though all players
`are eligible to win lower level achievements. The player winning the trophy may satisfy certain
`criteria, for example, being the first one to win a certain number of lower level achievements. Other
`criteria may be employed as well.” ¶ [0096]

`
`Englman discloses (d) storing allocation information indicating which game piece has been provided
`to which user with a respective skill level, and a number and type of game pieces required to obtain a
`game item as a reward, in the storage unit.
`
` A
`
` purpose of the progress report 103 can be to show various items (e.g., fireplace tools 107, flute
`108, and pipe 109) that group members have collected for the group scavenger hunt game…. The
`items may be collected, or obtained, while a player plays, or participates, in any wagering game (e.g.,
`a poker game 119) or similar wagering activity available within a casino network, an online wagering
`website, or any other gaming venue … The progress report 103 can also show any events that need to
`be accomplished for items not yet obtained (e.g., see FIG. 4 which describes details about a missing
`item—Frodo's missing painting 117). The progress report 103 can also present a game progress meter
`105 that tracks the progress of the group scavenger hunt game. Multiple group scavenger hunt
`members can share the progress report 103. The system 100 can present group statistics 106 that
`relate to the group members' achievements. Each group member's achievements (e.g., obtaining an
`item) can contribute overall as a group achievement in that everyone who shares the progress report
`103 benefits from each member's achievements. Specifically, when one group member obtains an
`item, it can count as one step closer to the trophy for the entire group. When all of the items are
`obtained, then the system can award the trophy, and any award that goes along with the trophy, to the
`group as a whole, or to any one or more members of the group (e.g., split evenly amongst the group,
`divided proportionately to group members according to performance in the group scavenger hunt
`game, provided randomly to one of the group members, etc.). ¶ [0045]

`“In other embodiments, the various virtual assets themselves may be embedded with software code,
`which may for example contain rule sets. Thus, although a virtual asset may be represented statically,
`such as a graphic appearing on a video display, it may be stored in memory as a live application or
`code. By being a live application, the virtual asset may perform various functions, such as connecting
`with a server or other computers, downloading and uploading data, and refreshing or updating itself
`with new rules or code. Thus, for example, a virtual asset such as a trophy may interact with other
`assets or objects. For example, in a poker application, a “Royal Flush” trophy may be awarded to a
`player achieving a royal flush in a poker game. The Royal Flush trophy may be stored in memory as
`a live application having its own rules that monitors the player's receipt of other assets. If a player is
`subsequently awarded a second trophy, for example a “Straight Flush” trophy, the Royal Flush trophy
`may recognize the receipt of the second trophy, which in turn may cause the Royal Flush trophy (in
`accordance with its own rules) to award a third trophy (for example, a “High Hand” trophy).”

`“The wagering game system architecture 200 can also include a community server 280 configured to
`control social network interactivity, features, and functionality for a wagering game social network,
`or other social networks, integrated with a casino network, an online wagering website, or any other
`network wagering venue. The community server 280 can also be configured to store accounts related
`to social networks. Via the communications network 222, the community server 280 can access a
`casino account stored on the account server 270, and vice-versa. For example, the community
`account owner can login to the community server 280 and access the account server 270 to set user
`preferences. Further, the community server 280 can be configured to provide social contact account
`information for use in group scavenger hunt games. For example, the account server 270 can
`determine player account information for social contact accounts, from the community server 280,
`that are associated with player accounts on the account server 270. The player accounts can be
`registered to play group scavenger hunt games. The account server 270 can determine whether those
`social contact accounts have player accounts on the account server 270. If so, the account server 270
`can then communicate player account information to the wagering game server 250 to register the
`player accounts for group scavenger hunt games.” ¶ [0052]
