(a) Infringement Contentions. By the date specified in the Patent Scheduling
Order, a party claiming patent infringement shall serve Infringement Contentions
identifying with specificity each accused product or process (the "Accused
Instrumentality").
(b) Claim Chart. A party who serves Infringement Contentions also shall serve a

Instrumentalities have the same relevant characteristics, they may be grouped
together in one claim chart. The claim chart(s) shall be specific and shall contain
the following information:
(1) Identification of each claim of each patent in suit that is allegedly infringed
by the Accused Instrumentality;
(2) Identification of the specific location of each limitation of the claim within
each Accused Instrumentality, including for each limitation that the party
contends is governed by 35 U.S.C. §112(f), the identity of the structures,
acts, or materials in the Accused Instrumentality that perform the claimed
function;
(3) A statement of whether each limitation of each asserted claim is literally
present in the Accused Instrumentality or present under the doctrine of
equivalents; and
(4) If an allegation of direct infringement is based on acts of multiple parties, a
description of the role of each such party in the direct infringement.
