The products in the preceding list, including all variations, editions, and applications of the 

foregoing, and all products and apparatuses of Verizon similar to the foregoing that include the 

claimed elements are the ’613 Accused Instrumentalities.

P.R. 3-1(C): CLAIM CHARTS

Headwater’s analysis of Verizon’s products and apparatuses is based upon information that is 

publicly available and based on Headwater’s own investigation prior to any discovery in this 

action. 

While the publicly available information constitutes evidence of the methods and apparatuses 

used by Headwater in the Accused Instrumentalities, direct evidence of the actual apparatuses and 

methods are at times not publicly available. Accordingly, these infringement contentions are based 

on the available public information, analysis, and reasonable inferences drawn from that 

information.

Headwater reserves the right to amend or supplement these disclosures for any of the 

following reasons (along with any other reason that may be permitted under the court’s rules and 

orders):

(1) Verizon provides evidence of the apparatuses and methods used in the Accused 

Instrumentalities;

Case 2:23-cv-00352-JRG-RSP Document 72-1 Filed 08/07/24 Page 9 of 554 PageID #:

1384
9

(2) The Asserted Claims may include elements that involve features that are implemented by 

hardware structures and logic and Headwater’s current positions on infringement are set 

forth without the benefit of access to Verizon’ssource code, schematics, drawings, or other 

proprietary specifications or information, which cannot be obtained through publicly 

available information, for the Accused Instrumentalities. Therefore, it may be necessary 

for Headwater to supplement its positions on infringement after a complete production of 

such proprietary specifications or information by Verizon;

(3) Headwater’s position on infringement of specific claims will depend on the claim 

constructions adopted by the Court. Because said constructions have not yet occurred, 

Headwater cannot take a final position on the bases for infringement of the Asserted 

Claims; and

(4) Headwater’s investigation and analysis of Verizon’s Accused Instrumentalities are based 

upon information made publicly available by Verizon and by Headwater’s own 

investigations. Headwater reserves the right to amend these contentions based upon 

discovery of non-public information that Headwater anticipates receiving from Verizon

during discovery.

Attached as Exhibits A through D, and incorporated herein in their entirety, are charts 

identifying where each element of the Asserted Claims of the ’541, ’543, ’042, and ’613 patents 

are found in the Accused Instrumentalities.

Unless otherwise indicated, the information provided that corresponds to each claim element 

is considered to indicate that each claim element is found within each of the different variations, 

versions, editions, and applications of each respective Accused Instrumentalities.

P.R. 3-1(D): LITERAL INFRINGEMENT AND DOCTRINE OF EQUIVALENTS

With respect to the patents at issue, Headwater contends that each element of each Asserted 

Claim is literally present. To the extent that Verizon identifies elements of the Asserted Claims that 

it contends are not literally present in the Accused Instrumentalities, Headwater contends that such 

elements are present under the doctrine of equivalents.

P.R. 3-1(E): PRIORITY DATES

P.R. 3-1(F): IDENTIFICATION OF INSTRUMENTALITIES PRACTICING THE 

CLAIMED INVENTION

The ItsOn software may incorporate or reflect the claims of the Asserted Patents. Headwater

reserves the right to supplement this response should further investigation, discovery, or the court’s 

claim construction rulings make such supplementation appropriate.

P.R. 3-2: DOCUMENT PRODUCTION ACCOMPANYING DISCLOSURE

P.R. 3-2(A) DOCUMENTS

Headwater is presently unaware of any documents that evidence any discussion with,

disclosure to, or other manner of providing to a third party, or sale of or offer to sell, any of the 

inventions claimed in the patents in suit prior to their respective application dates.

A diligent search continues for documents, and Headwater reserves the right to supplement 

this response.

P.R. 3-2(B) DOCUMENTS

Headwater is presently unaware of any documents that evidence the conception, reduction to 

practice, design, or development of the claimed inventions, which were created on or before the 

application dates of the patents in suit or priority date identified pursuant to P.R. 3-1(e).

A diligent search continues for documents, and Headwater reserves the right to supplement 

this response.

P.R. 3-2(C) DOCUMENTS

The file histories for the ’541, ’543, ’042, and ’613 patents may be found in Headwater’s 

production.

Service plans provided through the Accused Instrumentalities involve differentiating between 

different types of data traffic, including for example detecting and differentiating for data usage 

accounting purposes what data is used for video streaming at a user device, what data is used for 

hotspot or tethering purposes at a user device. Detection of different types of traffic by the 

Accused Instrumentalities result in the filtering of those traffic events in a network traffic 

inspection system. The Accused Instrumentalities further execute network policy enforcement 

actions in response to the detection of certain types of data traffic. As an example, the traffic 

classification filter for detecting a request from a user device to purchase additional data 

comprises a first traffic classification filter, and the traffic classification filter for detecting 

traffic not related to a user’s request to purchase additional data comprises a second traffic 

classification filter.

As another example, the traffic classification filter for detecting a device’s request for streaming 

video data comprises a first traffic classification filter, and the traffic classification filter for 

detecting a device’s request for non-video-streaming data comprises a second traffic 

classification filter.

[1e] process the first service plan 

component and the second service plan 

The Accused Instrumentalities process service plan components to create a network 

provisioning instruction set in accordance with a prioritization of a first traffic classification

component to create a network 

provisioning instruction set in accordance 

with a prioritization of the first traffic 

classification filter over the second traffic 

classification filter, the network 

provisioning instruction set comprising 

one or more traffic inspection 

provisioning instructions for the network 

traffic inspection system and one or more 

policy enforcement provisioning 

instructions for the network policy 

enforcement system, the network traffic 

inspection system and the network policy 

enforcement system implementing one or 

more policies applicable to the wireless 

end-user device;

filter over a second traffic classification filter. As one example, the Accused Instrumentalities 

process various service plan components for a particular service plan for a subscriber, including 

the claimed first and second service plan components, to create network provisioning 

instructions defined by logic for prioritizing one traffic classification filter over another. For 

example, the Accused Instrumentalities utilize traffic inspection and other techniques to 

determine whether a user of a device connected to the wireless access network is requesting 

additional data to use on the wireless access network, and to further prioritize such data traffic as 

a part of the network provisioning instructions and to enforce their priority by, for example, 

specifically configuring the device to access the wireless access network for the purpose of 

purchasing additional data to use on the wireless access network. Another example of traffic 

classification filters which result in the network policy enforcement system causing policies to 

be applied to the user device would be the Accused Instrumentalities’ traffic classification filters

for inspecting traffic and detecting traffic related to video streaming and HD video streaming, 

which results in the network policy enforcement system implementing policies for setting 

maximum bandwidth for a particular traffic stream based on whether the subscriber account is 

configured by the Accused Instrumentalities as being allowed to stream HD video or not; if HD 

video streaming is permitted (e.g., the subscriber account has paid for a “Premium Streaming” 

add-on functionality), the traffic classification filter for detecting data traffic for HD streaming 

video is prioritized. As another example, the Accused Instrumentalities apply different access 

priority rules based on the type of subscriber account, where a first service plan component and 

a second service plan component may refer to the service plans of two different subscriber plans.

As another example, a traffic classification filter for inspecting and detecting hotspot data is 

used to enforce the relatively lower levels of service priority that carriers, including Verizon, 

accord to hotspot data over other more data such as data used by accounts determined by the 

Accused Instrumentalities to be for “first responder” use.
