Profectus fails to raise a genuine dispute as to any material fact. The Court should, 

therefore, grant partial summary judgment of no pre-suit damages before March 8, 2019, and 

summary judgment of no willful infringement.

The Federal Circuit recently reiterated that actual notice under § 287(a) requires notifying 

an accused infringer of the “activity that is believed to be an infringement.” Lubby, --- F. 4th at -

--, 2021 WL 3889816, at *4 (citation omitted). That is consistent with its precedent that “actual 

notice requires the affirmative communication of a specific charge of infringement by a specific 

accused product or device.” Amsted Indus. Inc. v. Buckeye Steel Castings Co., 24 F.3d 178, 186 

(Fed. Cir. 1994).

willful infringement.
