`SMITH INTERFACE TECHNOLOGIES, LLC’S
`PATENT L.R. 3.1 PRELIMINARY INFRINGEMENT CONTENTIONS
`
`EXHIBIT B7 - U.S. Patent No. 10,936,114 (iPad)
`Claims 1, 27, and 32
`
`Smith Interface Technologies, LLC (“Smith Interface”) accuses Apple of infringing claims 1, 27, and 32 of U.S. Patent No. 10,936,114
`(hereinafter “the 114 Patent”). Pursuant to Patent L.R. 3.1(c), Smith Interface provides the following claim chart.
`
`This claim chart identifies specifically where each element of each Asserted Claim is found within each Accused Instrumentality and
`provides Apple’s notice of identified instrumentalities (including “the Accused System”) that incorporate or reflect the recited claim elements.
`This claim chart is not intended to be an expert report on infringement or provide detailed analysis of the claim terms or infringement. This claim
`chart includes information related to an assertion of infringement with respect to the *114 Patent Accused Products identified, including diagrams,
`web page screenshots, and other documentary evidence by way of example and not by way of limitation.
`
`The Asserted Claims include elements that are implemented, at least in part, by instrumentalities described in confidential information not
`accessible to Plaintiff. In some instances, the precise processes and algorithms used are, at least in part, not publicly available. An analysis of
`Apple’s (or other third parties’) technical documentation and/or software source code may be necessary to more fully identify all infringing
`features and functionality. Accordingly, Smith Interface reserves the right to supplement these contentions once such information is made available
`to Smith Interface. Furthermore, Smith Interface reserves the right to revise these contentions, as appropriate, upon issuance of the Court’s Claim
`Construction Order.
`
`The claim chart refers to the Accused System and the aforementioned products are included in (or can operate in conjunction with) the
`Accused System, as noted in the claim chart. To the extent the below claim chart relies on evidence for the Accused System, Smith Interface
`asserts that, on information and belief, any similarly-functioning system also infringe the charted claim. Smith Interface reserves the right to
`amend these infringement contentions with other products made, used, sold, imported, or offered for sale by Apple. Smith Interface also reserves
`the right to amend these infringement contentions by citing other claims of the *114 Patent, not listed in the claim chart, that are infringed by the
`Accused System. Smith Interface further reserves the right to amend these infringement contentions by adding, subtracting, or otherwise modifying
`content in the “Accused System” section.
`
`To the extent there are any differences between the accused instrumentalities and the following claim elements, any such differences are
`insubstantial and are alleged to infringe under the doctrine of equivalents.
