COMPLAINT FOR PATENT INFRINGEMENT
Case 3:17-cv-02398-DMS-MDD Document 1 Filed 11/29/17 PageID.2 Page 2 of 38
1 Plaintiff Qualcomm Incorporated (Qualcomm), by its undersigned

2 attorneys, alleges, with knowledge with respect to its own acts and on information
3 and belief as to other matters, as follows:
4 NATURE OF THE ACTION

5 1. Qualcomm brings this action to compel Apple to cease infringing
6 Qualcomms patents and to compensate Qualcomm for Apples extensive
7 infringement of several patented Qualcomm technologies.
8 2. Qualcomm is one of the worlds leading technology companies and a

9 pioneer in the mobile phone industry. Its inventions form the very core of modern
10 mobile communication and enable modern consumer experiences on mobile devices
11 and cellular networks.
12 3. Since its founding in 1985, Qualcomm has been designing, developing,

13 and improving mobile communication devices, systems, networks, and products. It
14 has invented technologies that transform how the world communicates. Qualcomm
15 developed fundamental technologies at the heart of 2G, 3G, and 4G cellular
16 communications, is one of a handful of companies leading the development of the
17 next-generation 5G standard, and has developed numerous innovative features used
18 in virtually every modern cell phone.

19 4. Qualcomm also invests in technologies developed by other companies
20 and has acquired companies (and their patented innovative technologies) as part of
21 its emphasis on supporting innovation. Qualcomms patent portfolio currently
22 includes more than 130,000 issued patents and patent applications worldwide.
23 Hundreds of mobile device suppliers around the world have taken licenses from
24 Qualcomm.
25 5. Apple is the worlds most profitable seller of mobile devices. Its

26 iPhones and other products enjoy enormous commercial success. But without the
27 innovative technology covered by Qualcomms patent portfolio, Apples products
28 would lose much of their consumer appeal. Apple was a relatively late entrant in the
NAI-1503225050v2 2
1 mobile device industry, and its mobile devices rely heavily on the inventions of
2 Qualcomm and other companies that Qualcomm has invested in. Nearly a decade
3 before Apple released the iPhone, Qualcomm unveiled its own full-feature, top-of-
4 the-line smartphone. According to CNNs 1999 holiday buying guide, Qualcomms
5 pdQ 1900 lets you make calls, keep records, send email, browse the web and run
6 over a thousand different applications, all while on the go. Although a cell phone, it
7 is one of the first truly portable, mobile and multipurpose Internet devices. 1 While
8 Qualcomm no longer markets phones directly to consumers, it continues to lead the
9 development of cutting-edge technologies that underpin a wide range of important
10 wireless-device features. Other companies, like Apple, now manufacture and
11 market phones that feature Qualcomms innovations and the innovations of other
12 technology pioneers that Qualcomm invested in.
13 6. Qualcomms innovations in the mobile space have influenced all

14 modern smartphones, and Applelike other major mobile device makersutilizes
15 Qualcomms technologies. Qualcomms patented features enable and enhance
16 popular features that drive consumer demand, for example: power-efficient radio
17 frequency (RF) transceiver technologies that support enhanced carrier aggregation,
18 improve battery life, and reduce signal interference; innovative designs for
19 components of processors and memory arrays that decrease power consumption and
20 improve device performance; and advanced image processing techniques that allow
21 users to recreate photographic effects that typically require bulky and expensive
22 camera equipment , among many others.
23 7. In short, Qualcomm invented many core technologies that make the

24 iPhone (and other smartphones and mobile devices) desirable to consumers in their
25 daily lives.

NAI-1503225050v2 3
1 8. While Apple built the most successful consumer products in history by

2 relying significantly on technologies pioneered by Qualcomm, Apple refuses to pay
3 for those technologies. Apples founder boasted that Apple steals the great ideas
4 of othersspecifically, that we have always been shameless about stealing great
5 ideas. 2 Apple employees likewise admit that Applea relatively late entrant in the
6 mobile spacedid not invent many of the iPhones features. Instead, Apple
7 incorporated, marketed, and commercialized the work of others: I dont know how
8 many things we can come up with that you could legitimately claim we did first. . . .
9 We had the first commercially successful version of many features but thats
10 different than launching something to market first. 3
11 9. Rather than pay Qualcomm for the technology Apple uses, Apple has
12 taken extraordinary measures to avoid paying Qualcomm for the fair value of
13 Qualcomms patents. On January 20, 2017, Apple sued Qualcomm in this district,
14 asserting an array of excuses to avoid paying fair-market, industry-standard rates for
15 the use of certain of Qualcomms pioneering patents that are critical to a modern
16 smartphone like the iPhone. See Case No. 3:17-cv-00108-GPC-MDD. Apple also
17 encouraged the companies that manufacture the iPhone to breach their contracts
18 with Qualcomm by refusing to pay for the Qualcomm technology in iPhones,

19 something that those manufacturers had done for many years, without complaint,
20 before Apples direction to stop. Further, Apple misled governmental agencies

1 around the world into investigating Qualcomm in an effort to indirectly exert
2 leverage over Qualcomm.
3 10. Many of Qualcomms patents are essential to certain cellular or other

4 standards (Standard Essential Patents), such that the use of an underlying
5 technological standard would require use of the patent. Qualcomm also owns a
6 wide range of non-standard-essential patents for inventions in various technologies
7 related to mobile devices.
8 11. In this suit, Qualcomm asserts a set of non-standard-essential patents

9 infringed by Apples mobile electronic devices. The patents asserted in this suit
10 represent only a small fraction of the Qualcomm non-standard-essential patents that
11 Apple uses without a license.
12 12. Qualcomm repeatedly offered to license its patents to Apple. But

13 Apple has repeatedly refused offers to license Qualcomms patents on reasonable
14 terms. Qualcomm therefore seeks to enforce its rights in the patents identified
15 below and to address and remedy Apples flagrant infringement of those patents.
16 PARTIES
17 13. Qualcomm is a Delaware corporation with its principal place of
18 business at 5775 Morehouse Drive, San Diego, California. Since 1989, when
19 Qualcomm publicly introduced Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) as a
20 commercially successful digital cellular communications standard, Qualcomm has
21 been recognized as an industry leader and innovator in the field of mobile devices
22 and cellular communications. Qualcomm owns more than 130,000 patents and
23 patent applications around the world relating to cellular technologies and many
24 other valuable technologies used by mobile devices. Qualcomm is a leader in the
25 development and commercialization of wireless technologies and the owner of the
26 worlds most significant portfolio of cellular technology patents. Qualcomm derives
27 a substantial portion of its revenues and profits from licensing its intellectual
28
NAI-1503225050v2 5
1 property. Qualcomm is also a world leader in the sale of chips, chipsets, and
2 associated software for mobile phones and other wireless devices.
3 14. Apple is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the
4 State of California, with its principal place of business at 1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino,
5 California. Apple designs, manufactures, and sells throughout the world a wide
6 range of products, including mobile devices that incorporate Qualcomms multi-
7 touch-gesture, autofocus, multitasking-interface, quick-charging, and machine-
8 learning patents.
9 JURISDICTION AND VENUE

10 15. This action arises under the patent laws of the United States of
11 America, 35 U.S.C. 1 et seq. This Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of
12 this action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1331 and 1338(a).
13 16. This Court has personal jurisdiction over Apple because it is organized
14 and exists under the laws of California.
15 17. Venue is proper in this District pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1391(b) and (c)

22 Diego, CA 92122.
23 STATEMENT OF FACTS
24 Qualcomm Background
25 18. Qualcomm was founded in 1985 when seven industry visionaries came
26 together to discuss the idea of providing quality communications. For more than 30
27 years, Qualcomm has been in the business of researching, designing, developing,
28
NAI-1503225050v2 6
1 and selling innovative semiconductor and cellular technology and products for the
2 telecommunications and mobile technology industries.
3 19. When Qualcomm was founded, cellular phones were cumbersome,

4 heavy, and expensive devices that supplied inconsistent voice communications
5 audio quality was poor, users sometimes heard portions of others calls, handoffs
6 were noisy, and calls frequently dropped. Qualcomm played a central role in the
7 revolutionary transformation of cellular communications technologies. Today,
8 cellular devices are remarkably powerful and can deliver reliable voice service and
9 lightning-fast data to billions of consumers around the world at affordable prices.
10 20. Qualcomm is now one of the largest technology, semiconductor, and

11 telecommunications companies in the United States. It employs over 18,000 people
12 in the United States, 68 percent of whom are engineers, and it occupies more than
13 92 buildings (totaling over 6.5 million sq. ft.) in seventeen states and the District of
14 Columbia.
15 21. Qualcomms industry-leading research and development efforts,

16 focused on enabling cellular systems and products, are at the core of Qualcomms
17 business. Since its founding, Qualcomm has invested tens of billions of dollars in
18 research and development related to cellular, wireless communications, and mobile

19 processor technology. Qualcomms massive research and development investments
20 have produced numerous innovations. Because of this ongoing investment,
21 Qualcomm continues to drive the development and commercialization of successive
22 generations of mobile technology and is one of a handful of companies leading the
23 development of the next-generation 5G standard.
24 22. In addition to Qualcomms investments in research and development

25 internally, Qualcomm has a rich history of investing in and acquiring technologies
26 developed by other industry leaders. By purchasing companies and patents from
27 companies who desire to sell their innovations, Qualcomm fosters innovation by
28
NAI-1503225050v2 7
1 enabling those companies to realize a return on their research and development
2 investments and, therefore, incentivizes additional research and development.
3 23. As a result of the strength and value of Qualcomms patent portfolio,

4 virtually every major handset manufacturer in the world has taken a royalty-bearing
5 license to Qualcomms patent portfolio. The licenses to Qualcomms patents allow
6 manufacturers to use numerous forms of critical and innovative Qualcomm
7 technology without having to bear the multi-billion dollar, multi-year costs of
8 developing those innovations themselves.
9 Apple Background
10 24. Apple has built the most profitable company in the world, thanks in
11 large part to products that rely on Qualcomms patented technologies. With a
12 market capitalization of more than $700 billion, $246 billion in cash reserves, and a
13 global sphere of influence, Apple has more money and more influence than many
14 countries. Relying heavily on Qualcomm technology and technology Qualcomm
15 has acquired, Apple has become the dominant player in mobile device sales.
16 Apples dominance has grown every year since the iPhones launch in 2007. In
17 recent years, Apple has captured upwards of 90 percent of all profits in the
18 smartphone industry.
19 Qualcomms Technology Leadership
20 25. The asserted patents reflect the breadth of Qualcomms dedication and
21 investment in research and development relating to wireless technology and mobile
22 electronic devices. Qualcomm invented numerous proprietary solutions that are
23 used to optimize products around the globe. Many of these inventions are reflected
24 in Qualcomms non-standard-essential patents, such as the patents asserted in this
25 case.
26 26. As mobile electronic devices have become more powerful with greater
27 functionality, device manufacturers have faced numerous problems with power
28 consumption, signal interference, and the performance and efficiency of processors

NAI-1503225050v2 8
1 and memory arrays, among others. Device manufacturers have also sought to
2 provide more advanced features to users, particularly with regard to photography
3 and image processing.
4 27. The asserted patents disclose and claim Qualcomm technologies that
5 address many of these needs, including RF transceiver technologies that reduce
6 power consumption and signal interference, power-efficient and high-performance
7 architectures for processor and memory components, and advanced image
8 processing techniques to recreate the popular bokeh photographic effect using a
9 dual-camera mobile electronic device.
10 28. For example, Apple has touted the capability of its newest mobile
11 electronic devices to support carrier aggregation technology. This means that a
12 mobile device can receive portions of a single input on multiple carriers at the same
13 time to increase the bandwidth of a user. Qualcomm has pioneered and patented
14 technologies that allow mobile electronic devices to support carrier aggregation
15 while maintaining high power efficiency. These include the 356 patent, which
16 relates to the use of low noise amplifiers (LNAs) to flexibly receive and amplify RF
17 signals. As a result of the invention of the 356 patent, mobile devices can consume
18 less power and significantly reduce the number of receiver input signal paths for a
19 RF transceiver when deploying carrier aggregation technology.
20 29. As another example, Qualcomm has pioneered techniques that allow

21 mobile electronic devices to support carrier aggregation technology while avoiding
22 signal interferences that can make it difficult or impossible to recover information
23 from a signal. The 336 patent describes a technique of grouping and amplifying RF
24 signals in two stages that reduces signal interference without increasing the
25 complexity of signal routing pathways. As a result of the invention of the 336
26 patent, RF transceivers in mobile devices can support carrier aggregation and
27 address signal interference without increasing routing complexity, which increases
28 cost and can negatively impact performance.

NAI-1503225050v2 9
1 30. Qualcomm has also invested substantially in developing innovative

2 designs for mobile device processors and memory arrays that enhance device
3 performance and lower power consumption. For example, the 674 patent relates to
4 an improved design for the power on / off control network (POC network)
5 component of a devices processor. The POC network communicates to
6 input/output (I/O) circuits whether core devices are on or off, which is desirable in
7 order to have I/O devices operate effectively. The 674 patent describes a POC
8 network design that reduces the leakage of electrical current while improving the
9 systems speed of detection of on / off states. The invention of the 674 patent thus
10 improves processor performance while reducing power consumption and improving
11 battery life for the device. As another example, in the 002 patent Qualcomm
12 disclosed an improved memory array design that reduces the power consumption
13 due to generating clock signals. As a result of the invention of the 002 patent,
14 mobile devices can operate with lower power consumption and higher speed, which
15 improves the devices battery life and efficiency.
16 31. As a final example, Qualcomms innovations have enabled advanced

17 mobile device features that generate high demand among users, including in the
18 areas of photography and image processing. For instance, the 633 patent relates to
19 depth-based image enhancement, and specifically the use of depth computed from
20 two spatially offset images to enhance regions of a monocular image. Mobile
21 devices with dual cameras, including certain Apple devices, use this invention to
22 perform high quality simulations of photographic effects (such as the so-called
23 bokeh effect) that can otherwise be generated only with bulky and expensive
24 camera equipment. In fact, Apples Senior Vice President of Worldwide Marketing
25 described the iPhone 7 Pluss ability to create a depth map of [an] image from [its]
26
27
28
NAI-1503225050v2 10
1 two cameras . . . and apply a beautiful blur to the background as a huge
2 breakthrough in what can be done in a smartphone in photography. 4
3 The Accused Devices

4 32. As set forth below, a variety of Apples devicesincluding certain of
5 Apples iPhonespractice one or more of the Patents-in-Suit.
6 The Patents-in-Suit
7 33. The following patents are infringed by Apple (Patents-in-Suit): U.S.
8 Patent No. 9,154,356 (the 356 patent), U.S. Patent No. 9,473,336 (the 336
9 patent), U.S. Patent No. 8,063,674 (the 674 patent), U.S. Patent 7,693,002 (the
10 002 patent), and U.S. Patent No. 9,552,633 (the 633 patent).
11 34. As described below, Apple has been and is still infringing, contributing
12 to infringement, and/or inducing others to infringe the Patents-in-Suit by making,
13 using, offering for sale, selling, or importing devices that practice the Patents-in-
14 Suit. Apples acts of infringement have occurred within this District and elsewhere
15 throughout the United States.
16 U.S. Patent No. 9,154,356

17 35. The 356 patent was duly and legally issued on October 6, 2015 to
18 Qualcomm, which is the owner of the 356 patent and has the full and exclusive
19 right to bring actions and recover damages for Apples infringement of the 356
20 patent. The 356 patent is valid and enforceable. A copy of the 356 patent is
21 attached hereto as Exhibit A.
22 36. The 356 patent relates generally to RF transceivers using low noise
23 amplifiers (LNAs) to support carrier aggregation. The 356 patent discloses a multi-
24 stage LNA circuit topology, where each amplifier stage can be independently
25 controlled to receive and amplify a common input RF signal and provide an output
26
27

NAI-1503225050v2 11
1 RF signal to a separate load circuit. The topology flexibly supports multiple I/Q
2 mixer/downconverter loads for a corresponding number of component carriers at
3 different frequencies. As a result of the invention of the 356 patent, mobile devices
4 can more efficiently deploy carrier aggregation technology and have longer battery
5 life.
6 U.S. Patent No. 9,473,336

7 37. The 336 patent was duly and legally issued on October 18, 2016 to
9 right to bring action and recover damages for Apples infringement of the 336
11 attached hereto as Exhibit B.
12 38. The 336 patent relates generally to RF transceivers for use with carrier
13 aggregation technology. With the advent of carrier aggregation technology, RF
14 transceivers in mobile devices must be designed to handle an increasing number of
15 different frequencies in multiple communication bands. In many cases, receivers
16 include multiple signal paths, which must be subject to stringent isolation
17 requirements to prevent signal interference, which can make recovering information
18 from a signal difficult or impossible. The 336 patent discloses a two-stage

19 amplification of RF signals, where carrier signals are grouped into carrier groups
20 including a respective portion of the carrier signals in a first stage amplifier module
21 and provided to second stage amplifiers. The first stage amplifier includes multiple
22 low noise amplifiers (LNAs) that generate amplified outputs each having a portion
23 of the carrier signals and a routing module that provides the amplified outputs to
24 different output ports. Second stage amplifiers then amplify the carrier groups to
25 generate second stage output signals that may be output to different demodulation
26 stages that demodulate a selected carrier signal. Without the invention of the 336
27 patent, RF transceivers would not be able to address issues of interference without
28
NAI-1503225050v2 12
1 increasing the routing complexity of the design, which increases cost and can impact
2 performance.
3 U.S. Patent No. 8,063,674

4 39. The 674 patent was duly and legally issued on November 22, 2011 to
8 attached hereto as Exhibit C.
9 40. The 674 patent relates generally to an improved power up / power

10 down detector for computing devices with integrated circuits requiring multiple
11 voltages. The power on / power off control (POC network) of a device is a
12 component of a processor that communicates to input/output (I/O) circuits whether
13 core devices are on or off, which is desirable in order to have I/O devices operate
14 effectively. The 674 patent describes an improved design for a POC network
15 architecture that uses power up / down detectors to detect the on / off state of the
16 core devices on the POC network, processing circuitry to generate signals depending
17 on their power state, and feedback circuits to adjust electrical current capacity in the
18 POC network in order to reduce the leakage of that current while improving the
19 speed with which the system detects the on/off state of the core devices. The
20 invention of the 674 patent thereby improves the performance of the POC network
21 and processor while also reducing power consumption and improving the battery
22 life of the computing device.
23 U.S. Patent No. 7,693,002

24 41. The 002 patent was duly and legally issued on April 6, 2010 to
28 attached hereto as Exhibit D.

NAI-1503225050v2 13
1 42. The 002 patent relates generally to an improved memory array design
2 that saves power. Specifically, the 002 patent discloses improved designs for
3 wordline drivers, which are components connected to memory arrays. The design
4 allows for the selective application of clock signals to activate groups of wordline
5 drivers, which reduces the power consumption due to generating clock signals
6 relative to previous designs. As a result of the invention of the 002 patent,
7 computing devices can operate with lower power consumption and higher speed,
8 which in turn prolongs the battery life and efficiency of those devices.
9 U.S. Patent No. 9,552,633

10 43. The 633 patent was duly and legally issued on January 24, 2017 to
14 attached hereto as Exhibit E.
15 44. The 633 patent relates generally to depth-based image enhancement,

16 and specifically the use of depth computed from multiple images. The 633 patent
17 discloses using two images to generate a depth map and enhance a portion of the
18 scene. As a result of the invention of the 633 patent, mobile device cameras are
19 now able to perform a high quality simulation of the bokeh effect, a popular
20 artistic photography effect that emphasizes a portion of the scene, giving a 3D effect
21 to the photograph without the use of bulky and expensive high-end cameras and
22 lenses.
23 COUNT 1 (PATENT INFRINGEMENT U.S. PATENT NO. 9,154,356)

24 45. Qualcomm repeats and re-alleges the allegations of paragraphs 1
25 through 44 above as if fully set forth herein.
26
27
28
NAI-1503225050v2 14
1 46. Qualcomm is the lawful owner of the 356 patent and has the full and
2 exclusive right to bring actions and recover damages for Apples infringement of
3 said patent.
4 47. In violation of 35 U.S.C. 271, Apple has been and is still infringing,
5 contributing to infringement, and/or inducing others to infringe the 356 patent by
6 making, using, offering for sale, selling, or importing mobile devices that practice
7 the patent, including but not limited to the Apple iPhone 7, Apple iPhone 7 Plus, and
8 on information and belief, Apple iPhone 8, Apple iPhone 8 Plus, and Apple iPhone
9 X.
10 48. Each of the Apple iPhone 7 and Apple iPhone 7 Plus, and on
11 information and belief, Apple iPhone 8, Apple iPhone 8 Plus, and Apple iPhone X is
12 equipped with RF transceivers that contain multi-stage low noise amplifiers (LNAs)
13 with at least a first amplifier stage and a second amplifier stage, each of which is
14 configured to be independently enabled or disabled, to receive and amplify an input
15 RF signal in carrier aggregation, and to provide an output RF signal, where the
16 output signals of the different amplifier stages include distinct carriers.
17 49. The accused devices infringe at least claims 1, 7, 8, 10, 11, 17, and 18
18 of the 356 patent.
19 50. The accused devices infringe claims 1 and 17 of the 356 patent as
20 follows. Each of the Apple iPhone 7 and Apple iPhone 7 Plus is an apparatus that
21 contains two multimode RF transceivers, such as, for example, Intel PMB5750
22 Multimode RF Transceivers (the iPhone 7 transceivers). Each iPhone 7
23 transceiver includes a first amplifier stage with circuitry that allows the first
24 amplifier stage to be independently enabled or disabled. The first amplifier stage
25 receives and amplifies an input RF signal and provides an output RF signal to a load
26 circuit comprising an I/Q mixer core. Each iPhone 7 transceiver also includes a
27 second amplifier stage with separate enable circuitry, which receives and amplifies
28 the input RF signal and provides a second output RF signal to a second load circuit
NAI-1503225050v2 15
1 comprising an I/Q mixer core. As the Apple iPhone 7 and Apple iPhone 7 Plus each
2 supports LTE downlink carrier aggregation across many operating bands and
3 carriers, the input RF signal employs carrier aggregation comprising transmissions
4 sent on multiple carriers at different frequencies. The first output RF signal
5 provided by the first amplifier stage includes at least a first carrier of the multiple
6 carriers, and the second output RF signal provided by the second amplifier stage
7 includes at least a second carrier of the multiple carriers that is different from the
8 first carrier. On information and belief, the Apple iPhone 8, Apple iPhone 8 Plus,
9 and Apple iPhone X each includes an infringing amplifier design. Thus, the accused

11 51. With respect to claims 7 and 8, each iPhone 7 transceiver further

12 contains a feedback circuit including a resistor and a capacitive network that is
13 coupled between the output and input of the first amplifier stage, as well as a second
14 feedback circuit including a resistor and a capacitive network that is coupled
15 between the output and input of the second amplifier stage. On information and
16 belief, the Apple iPhone 8, Apple iPhone 8 Plus, and Apple iPhone X each includes
17 an infringing amplifier design. Thus, the accused devices infringe claims 7 and 8 of
18 the 356 patent.

19 52. With respect to claim 10, each iPhone 7 transceiver further contains an
20 input shunt switch with a large shunt resistor that is coupled to the first and second
21 amplifier stages and configured to receive the input RF signal. On information and
22 belief, the Apple iPhone 8, Apple iPhone 8 Plus, and Apple iPhone X each includes
23 an infringing amplifier design. Thus, the accused devices infringe claim 10 of the
24 356 patent.
25 53. With respect to claim 11, each iPhone 7 transceiver further includes an
26 input matching circuit coupled to the first and second amplifier stages and
27 configured to receive a receiver input signal and provide the input RF signal. Each
28 of the first and second amplifier stages in the iPhone 7 transceiver has a common
NAI-1503225050v2 16
1 receiver input signal coupled to an input matching circuit with both a series inductor
2 and shunt inductor to ground potential on the main circuit board adjacent to the
3 corresponding transceiver input. On information and belief, the Apple iPhone 8,
4 Apple iPhone 8 Plus, and Apple iPhone X each includes an infringing amplifier
5 design. Thus, the accused devices infringe claim 11 of the 356 patent.
6 54. With respect to claim 18, the first amplifier stage of each iPhone 7
7 transceiver can be enabled with an enable signal to obtain the first output RF signal,
8 and the second amplifier stage can be enabled with a second enable signal to obtain
9 the second output RF signal. As the amplifier stages can be independently enabled
10 or disabled, the first amplifier stage can also be enabled with the first enable signal
11 while the second amplifier stage is not enabled in order to obtain the first output RF
12 signal but not the second output RF signal. On information and belief, the Apple
13 iPhone 8, Apple iPhone 8 Plus, and Apple iPhone X each performs the infringing
14 method. Thus, the accused devices infringe claim 18 of the 356 patent.

19 nevertheless actively encourages others to infringe the 356 patent. On information
20 and belief, Apple knowingly induces infringement by others, including resellers,
21 retailers, and end users of the accused devices. For example, Apple knows of the
22 356 patent and the aspects of the accused devices that constitute infringement of
23 such patent, yet Apple instructs and assists others, such as resellers, retailers, and
24 end users, in carrying out such infringement. Further, Apple possesses a specific
25 intent to cause others, including resellers, retailers, and end users, to infringe the
26 356 patent. For example, Apple affirmatively intended to cause others to directly
27 infringe the 356 patent through its instructions contained in its user manuals and
28 marketing materials. These facts give rise to a reasonable inference that Apple
NAI-1503225050v2 17

2 core network and control network and is configured to receive the control signal
3 generated by the control network. Thus, the accused devices infringe claim 5 of the
4 674 patent.
5 74. With respect to claim 12, on information and belief, the accused
6 devices further detect a power-down of a second supply voltage by receiving a
7 logic-low signal at a control gate of the first and second transistors, wherein the first
8 transistor switches on and the second transistor switches off in response to the logic-

9 readable medium comprising code that controls the image enhancement apparatus.
10 The device is also equipped with a memory unit for storing images, including three
11 gigabytes mobile LPDDR4 SDRAM memory. When using the Camera application
12 in Portrait mode, the devices image enhancement apparatus retrieves the left
13 image and right image stored in a memory unit and determines a depth map based
14 on a difference in spatial orientation between the two images using the Apple Image
15 Signal Processor (ISP) and software. Using the devices display, the user can view a
16 live preview of the depth effect generated with the two images, point the device in
17 different directions while observing a scene, and select a portion of the scene of a
18 first depth. 5 The apparatus identifies the user selected portion of the scene and uses
19 the depth map to determine an enhancement region surrounding the selected portion,
20 wherein the region is continuous from the selected portion and has a depth within a
21 threshold of the first depth, such as the edge region of a selected foreground object.
22 Finally, the apparatus enhances the enhancement region, such as by applying a blur
23 effect that blends the edge of a selected foreground object into a blurred
24 background. The Apple iPhone 8 Plus and Apple iPhone X also include Portrait
25 mode among their features and include an apparatus and/or non-transitory computer-

3 111. With respect to claims 2, 3, 11, and 12, the accused devices further alter
4 the left or right image by degrading a portion of the image not selected by the user,
5 for example by applying a blur effect to that portion of the image. Thus, the accused
6 devices infringe claims 2, 3, 11, and 12 of the 633 patent.
7 112. With respect to claim 22, the Apple iPhone 7 Plus contains a memory
8 unit configured to store the left and right images, including for example three
9 gigabytes mobile LPDDR4 SDRAM memory, a coder configured to retrieve the
10 images and determine a depth map based on a difference in spatial orientation
11 between the images, and a processor coupled to the coder, including for example the
12 ISP, which is configured to identify the user-selected portion of the scene, determine
13 the enhancement region surrounding the user-selected portion, and enhance the
14 enhancement region. When using the accused devices in Portrait mode, the coder
15 retrieves the left image and right image stored in a memory unit and determines a
16 depth map based on a difference in spatial orientation between the two images.
17 Using the devices display, the user can view a live preview of the depth effect
18 generated with the two images, point the device in different directions while
19 observing a scene, select a portion of the scene of a first depth, and capture the
20 picture accordingly. 6 The processor coupled to the coder identifies the user-selected
21 portion of the scene and uses the depth map to determine an enhancement region
22 surrounding the selected portion of the left or right image, wherein the region is
23 continuous from the selected portion and has a depth within a threshold of the first
24 depth, such as the edge region of a selected foreground object. Finally, the
25 processor enhances the enhancement region, such as by applying a blur effect that
26 blends the edge of a selected foreground object into a blurred background. The
