NOTICE OF MOTION
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that on January 23, 2011 at 9:00 A.M., or as soon thereafter as
counsel may be heard, the undersigned shall appear before Chief Judge Ware in Courtroom 9 on the
19th Floor at the U.S. Courthouse, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94102, and present
Plaintiff Barco N.V.’s (“Barco”) Motion To Strike Portions of TPL’s Infringement Contentions.
RELIEF REQUESTED
Barco seeks an order striking those portions of Defendants’ Technology Properties Limited,
Patriot Scientific Corporation, and Alliacense Limited (collectively “Defendants” or “TPL”)
Infringement Contentions (ICs) for those claims that do not comply with Patent Local Rule (“P.L.R.
3-1(c)”) by relying on products and materials that have no connection or relationship with the accused
products.
ISSUES TO BE DECIDED
Whether the Court should strike those portions of TPL’s Infringement Contentions that rely
on products and materials that have no connection or relationship with Barco’s accused products.
I. INTRODUCTION
The inadequacies of TPL’s ICs have already been the subject of motion practice and a
resulting order in this case. In an Order dated September 20, 2011 (“Order”), Judge Lloyd noted
deficiencies in TPL’s ICs and ordered that amended ICs be served. Dkt. 223. In that Order, Judge
Lloyd stated:
Barco is correct that some of TPL’s ICs are based on material for other products. For
instance, TPL accuses Barco of infringement based on its use of a DDP1011 chip, but it
relies upon a presentation about a DDP1000 chip and a datasheet for a CDCDLP223
chip in its ICs. See Docket No. 208-2, Ex. A-8, Pic. 1927. And, in doing so, TPL does
not explain how or why information concerning a DDP1000 chip or a CDCDLP223
chip is relevant to its IC for a DDP1011. Perhaps information concerning these other
two chips is relevant, or perhaps it is not; from TPL'’ ICs, the court cannot say. Thus, to
the extent that TPL’s ICs rely upon information concerning products not at issue in this
litigation, TPL must amend its ICs to either provide information concerning the
products at issue or explain how and/or why information concerning any products not at
issue is relevant to its ICs. (Dkt. 223, page 7). In response to this Order, TPL served amended ICs on October 11, 2011 for U.S. Patent No. 5,809,336 (“the ‘336 patent”), U.S. Patent No. 5,440,749 (“the ‘749 patent”), and U.S. Patent No. 5,530,890 (“the ‘890 patent”).
TPL’s most recent ICs, however, still contain many of the same deficiencies noted in Judge
Lloyd’s order, and additional deficiencies. TPL still relies on products and materials that are
unrelated to the accused Barco products. In addition, TPL cites non-Barco products - products made
and sold by companies unrelated to Barco – as supposedly showing how the accused products
infringe. And in some instances, the amended ICs suffer from precisely the same deficiency
highlighted by Judge Lloyd above where “TPL accuses Barco of infringement of a DDP1011 chip but
it relies on a presentation about a DDP1000 chip.” Id. at page 7.
Accordingly, Barco moves to strike portions of TPL’s ICs that continue to rely on products
and materials that have no connection with the accused products. Further, Barco requests that the
Court preclude TPL from further amending its Infringement Contentions. The ICs for each of the
asserted patents are addressed in turn below.
II. LEGAL STANDARD
This District's Patent Local Rules (P.L.R.s) require parties to identify “specifically where
each limitation of each asserted claim is found within each Accused Instrumentality.” Patent Local
Rule 3-1(c); Barco N.V. v. Tech. Props. Ltd., 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 106431, *8 (N.D. Cal. Sept.
20, 2011) (Dkt. 223); Shared Memory Graphics LLC v. Apple Inc., 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 99166,
*12-13 (N.D. Cal. Sept. 2, 2011); LG Electronics Inc. v. Q-Lity Computer Inc., 211 F.R.D. 360, 366
(N.D. Cal. December 4, 2002).
This Court has recognized that citing unrelated products that have no connection with the
accused products is insufficient to satisfy P.L.R. 3-1(c). Dkt. 223. Further, this District has noted
that “all courts agree that the specificity under Local Rule 3-1 must be sufficient to provide
reasonable notice to the defendant why the plaintiff believes it has a ‘reasonable chance of proving
infringement.’” Shared Memory Graphics LLC, 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 99166, *12-13. (citing View
Engineering, Inc. v. Robotic Vision Systems, Inc., 208 F.3d 981, 986 (Fed. Cir. 2000).) The
infringement contentions “must be sufficient to raise a ‘reasonable inference that all accused
products infringe.’” Shared Memory Graphics LLC, 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 99166, *12-13 (citing
Antonious v. Spalding & Evenflo Cos., Inc., 275 F.3d 1066, 1075 (Fed. Cir. 2002)).
Further, this District has refused a party to amend its Infringement Contentions where that
party was given a chance to amend its Infringement Contentions but failed to adequately do so and
where the patents-in-suit and the accused products existed for many years. See Shared Memory
Graphics LLC v. Apple Inc., 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 99166, *24-25 (N.D. Cal. Sept. 2, 2011).
III. THE ‘336 PATENT
TPL has accused eleven Barco products of infringing claims 1, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, and
16 of the ’336 patent. See Exh. D1, TPL’s Infringement Contentions for the ‘336 patent at pages 2-3.
On September 20, 2011, the Court ordered TPL to amend its ICs following a dispute between the
parties regarding their adequacy. In response to the Court’s Order, TPL amended its claim charts.
The following table lists the eleven products that TPL has accused Barco of infringing the ‘336
patent, along with the corresponding Bates Numbers for TPL’s claim charts.2

(“Runyan Decl.”). In this motion, Exhibits begin with the letter D in order to remain consistent with
the numbering of exhibits used in Barco Dispute Joint Report # 2. Exhibits A through C were copies
of TPL’s ICs served prior to the Judge Lloyd’s Order of September 20, 2011 and Exhibits D through
H-3 are TPL’s ICs served on October 11, 2011 after Judge Lloyd’s Order.
2 With respect to the ‘336 patent, Barco notes that TPL did not amend its infringement contentions
for the following four products: 1) Barco JPEG Encoder/Decoder Board, 2) Barco Media Server
Axon, 3) Barco LED Display Digitizer, and 4) Barco Lighting Console. For these products for
which the ICs were not amended, Barco assumes that the infringement contentions served earlier
remain in effect.

Lloyd’s Order issued on September 20, 2011, at page 7 (Dkt. 223). TPL has not shown any such
relevance. Barco respectfully requests that ICs for claim 54 for all five of the Barco projectors (iCon
H400, SIM 5R Projector, iCon H500, iCon H250, and ID R600+) accused of infringing the ‘749
patent should be stricken as the ICs rely on chips that have no connection with the accused chips.
V. THE ‘890 PATENT
TPL has accused five Barco products of infringing claims 11, 12, 13, 17, and 19 of the ‘890
patent. See Exh. C, TPL’s Infringement Contentions for the ‘890 patent at pages 2-3. On September
20, 2011, the Court ordered TPL to amend its ICs. In response to the Court’s Order, TPL amended
its claim charts. The following table lists the five products that TPL has accused Barco of infringing
the ‘890 patent, along with the corresponding Exhibit Numbers for each accused product.

the ICs for claims 11, 12, 17, and 19 for all five of the Barco
projectors accused of infringing the ‘890 patent (iCon H400, SIM 5R Projector, iCon H500, iCon
H250, and ID R600+) should be stricken as they rely on unrelated products.

In particular, the ICs for claim 17 in all of the product reports for
all five Barco projectors (iCon H400, SIM 5R Projector, iCon H500, iCon H250, and ID R600+)
should be stricken as they rely on chips that have no connection with the accused chip.
VI. CONCLUSION
TPL failed to comply with P.L.R. 3-1(c) for the reasons stated above. Accordingly, Barco
respectfully requests that the Court grant Barco’s Motion to Strike TPL’s Infringement Contentions
that rely on unrelated products and materials. Further, the inadequacies of TPL’s ICs have already been the subject of motion practice and a resulting order in this case. See Judge Lloyd’s Order of September 20, 2011. (Dkt. 223.) TPL, however, still relies on products and materials that are unrelated to the accused Barco products. And in some instances, the amended ICs suffer from precisely the same deficiency highlighted by Judge Lloyd. Accordingly, because the inadequacies of TPL’s ICs have already been the subject of
motion practice and a resulting order in this case, Barco requests that the Court preclude TPL from
further amending its Infringement Contentions.
