PLAINTIFF’S AMENDED DISCLOSURE OF ASSERTED CLAIMS AND FINAL
INFRINGEMENT CONTENTIONS PURSUANT TO THE COURT’S STANDING ORDER
GOVERNING PATENT PROCEEDINGS
Pursuant to the Court’s December 2, 2025 Order (Dkt. 132), the First Amended Scheduling
Order (Dkt. 135), and the Parties December 29, 2025 Joint Stipulation (Dkt. 136), Plaintiff Neural
AI, LLC (“Neural AI” or “Plaintiff”) provides the following Disclosure of Asserted Claims and
Final Infringement Contentions (“Disclosure”) as to U.S. Patent Nos. 8,648,867 (“the ’867
Patent”), RE49,461 (“the ’461 Patent”), and RE48,438 (“the ’438 Patent”) (collectively, the
“Asserted Patents” or “Patents-in-Suit”) against Defendant Nvidia Corporation (“Nvidia” or
“Defendant”). This Disclosure is made solely for the purpose of this action.
Pursuant to the Court’s December 2, 2025 Order (Dkt. 132), Plaintiff identifies source code
for each accused instrumentality based on Nvidia’s productions prior to November 30, 2025.
Nvidia continues to produce source code on a rolling basis. Plaintiff therefore expressly reserves
the right to serve additional or supplemental claim chart exhibits identifying newly produced or
previously unavailable source code that satisfies the asserted claim elements, including after
service of this Disclosure. Moreover, Plaintiff’s investigation regarding infringement and
additional potential grounds of infringement is ongoing. Nvidia’s has not produced all necessary
1
Case 7:26-mc-00318-LS Document 6-8 Filed 08/18/26 Page 3 of 18
technical documents or source code sufficient to show the operation of the Accused Products, and
key categories of technical materials, including source code, remain outstanding. See, e.g., Dkt.
103, 125. This Disclosure is therefore based upon information that Plaintiff has been able to obtain
and review to date, together with its good-faith beliefs regarding the Accused Products and their
operation, and is made without prejudice to Plaintiff’s right to supplement or amend its Disclosure
as additional facts are ascertained, discovery is conducted, code is reviewed, analysis is done, and
research is completed. Plaintiff reserves the right to amend and/or supplement its infringement
contentions as additional information becomes available.
For each Asserted Patent, Plaintiff identifies the following Accused Products of which it is
currently aware. The identification of Accused Products is based on Plaintiff’s research and
analysis to date, without the benefit of full discovery. Indeed, Nvidia has not yet complied with
its obligation under the OGP to produce sufficient “technical documents, including software where
applicable, sufficient to show the operation of the accused product(s).” See, e.g., Dkt. 103, 125.
Nvidia has continued to belatedly produce source code well into the fact discovery period—
including most recently on January 13, 2026—and has not produced related technical documents,
and Plaintiff has been required to repeatedly press Nvidia to obtain these late and piecemeal
productions. As a result, Plaintiff’s current identification of Accused Products is necessarily based
on publicly available and otherwise accessible information. Accordingly, Plaintiff’s current
identification is based on publicly available and otherwise accessible information. Plaintiff
expressly reserves the right to amend or supplement these contentions—including by identifying
additional Accused Products or asserting additional bases for infringement—under the applicable
rules and any Court orders, including to reflect future productions by Nvidia.
Accused Products. The Accused Products, as described in the accompanying Exhibits 1–
599 and any later-served amended or supplemental Exhibits, comprise integrated combinations of
2
Case 7:26-mc-00318-LS Document 6-8 Filed 08/18/26 Page 4 of 18
Nvidia’s software and hardware that together implement GPU-accelerated computing. These
include Nvidia’s GPU accelerators and superchips; Nvidia’s computers, supercomputers, data
centers, servers, and workstations incorporating those GPUs; and the full Nvidia software stack
that operates on and controls that hardware to enable accelerated execution.
Based on its present understanding of Nvidia’s infringing software architecture and how
the accused functionality is implemented across Nvidia’s integrated hardware and software stack,
Neural AI has organized its infringement charts by Nvidia application in Exhibits 100-199. These
application charts further reference sub-charts identifying hardware described in Exhibits 1-99 as
well as software and libraries described in Exhibits 200-599. The sub charts are broken out as
follows: Exhibits 1–99 include hardware such as Nvidia’s GPU accelerators and superchips, and
Nvidia’s computers, supercomputers, data centers, servers, workstations that implement its GPU
accelerators and superchips, coupling of some of this hardware to CPUs, as well as information on
Nvidia’s infringing software products and CUDA code. Exhibits 100-199 include Nvidia’s
application frameworks and platforms. Application frameworks and platforms processed by the
hardware, in turn, call on lower-level Nvidia software. Exhibits 200–299 include Nvidia’s
machine-learning frameworks and inference platforms used by these applications, including
PyTorch and TensorRT. Exhibits 300–399 include Nvidia’s neural-network primitive libraries,
acceleration libraries, and functions, including cuDNN and related components. Exhibits 400–499
include Nvidia’s mathematical libraries. Exhibits 500–599 include low-level CUDA runtime,
driver, memory-management components, memory maps, and sub-component code used in the
CUDA stack.
This organization reflects Neural AI’s present understanding of Nvidia’s software
architecture. Nvidia has not produced a complete source-code production for any bucket or
category, and Neural AI therefore expressly reserves the right to chart additional software,
3
Case 7:26-mc-00318-LS Document 6-8 Filed 08/18/26 Page 5 of 18
libraries, or components, and to modify or supplement its chart organization and infringement
theories as discovery continues. Moreover, the charts provided within each category are
representative of other similar Nvidia software, libraries, and components within that same
category. Neural AI has charted exemplar implementations rather than every produced file, and
reserves the right to rely on other Nvidia software and libraries within the same category as
additional accused instrumentalities.
In further details, the Accused Products include, without limitation, the following: Nvidia’s
GPU accelerators and superchips, including those with Nvidia’s “Blackwell,” “Hopper,” “Ada

The Accused Products include Nvidia’s software, platforms, libraries, and services for
accelerated computing. These products include, without limitation, application frameworks,
platforms, and domains such as NVIDIA Drive, Isaac, Holoscan, RAPIDS, NVBlox, NeMo,
Merlin, Modulus, MONAI, Morpheus, Riva, Maxine, Clara, Metropolis, Tokkio, Avatar, NIM

JetPack, DeepStream, DOCA, Magnum IO, Aerial, BioNeMo, CUDA-X HPC, Unified Compute
Framework, AI Enterprise, the DGX Platform, NGC, and AI Foundation Models. Application
frameworks and platforms processed by the hardware, in turn, call on lower-level Nvidia software.
The Accused Products further include machine-learning frameworks and inference platforms such
as PyTorch, TensorRT, Triton, TensorFlow, Torch-TensorRT, JAX, and Spark. They also include
neural-network, mathematical, and acceleration libraries such as cuDNN, cuFFT, cuDSS,

Micro-Mesh, FLARE, GVDB Voxels, KickstartRT, Mesh Shading, Optical Flow, PTX, SASS,
kernel implementations, firmware, scheduling logic, backend libraries, the CUDA Driver Internal
Layer (CUI), CUDA Driver API, vGPU, GPUDirect, NVML, and other associated runtime, driver,
and sub-component code. The Accused Products further include other Nvidia software, platforms,
and services that implement similar accelerated computing functionality or operate using the same
CUDA-based execution models, architectures, libraries, and runtime components, whether or not
expressly listed above. The Accused Products also encompass associated and underlying software
libraries and components that enable or support accelerated execution and any source code or sub-
component code necessary to understand or effect CUDA execution, whether or not separately
analyzed.
The Accused Products further include (1) any additional products identified in the
accompanying Exhibits 1–599 attached hereto and any later-served amended or supplemental
Exhibits; (2) any products that include the same functionality or features described in the Exhibits;
and (3) any prior or subsequent versions of the products identified in the Exhibits that include the
same features or functionality.
The Accused Products infringe each of the Asserted Patents in a manner fully consistent
with the Court’s Claim Construction Order (Dkt. 95). For example, as construed, the Accused
Products implement the claimed “accelerator” as hardware, software, or a combination thereof that
need not be physically separate from the CPU. The Accused Products likewise perform the claimed
8
Case 7:26-mc-00318-LS Document 6-8 Filed 08/18/26 Page 10 of 18
method steps in a pipelined and overlapping manner that satisfies the Court’s ordering
requirements for the asserted claims of the ’867 and ’438 patents, including parallel execution
where permitted and the specific sequencing constraints identified by the Court.
On information and belief, the asserted claim elements charted for one chip architecture
are evidenced by documentation and source code pertaining to the Accused Products for other chip
architectures, for which the Accused Products have capabilities and functionalities that are
substantially the same for the asserted claim elements. Indeed, this is reflected by the different chip
architectures of the Accused Products sharing materially similar technical specifications and
overlapping documentation as each Accused Product pertains to the accused claim elements.
Likewise, the software implementations analyzed and charted are representative of other related
Nvidia software products that rely on the same CUDA-based execution models, libraries, runtime
components, and architectural design choices, and that therefore implement the asserted claim
elements in substantially the same manner such as, for example, performing a math operation or
computation in a neural network.
The present infringement contentions also accuse Nvidia’s newly announced Vera CPU
and Rubin GPU products. Neural AI will supplement its infringement contentions as Nvidia
produces additional information and as these products become commercially available. The
present infringement contentions further accuse Nvidia’s Jetson hardware products, which, based
on information obtained during ongoing fact and expert discovery, infringe one or more Asserted
Claims. Neural AI will supplement its infringement contentions as Nvidia produces additional
information regarding these products.
These Final Infringement Contentions are based on public evidence and the limited
discovery and source code made available by Nvidia to date, which largely consists of a single
software version for each accused application or library. Nvidia’s has not produced all necessary
9
Case 7:26-mc-00318-LS Document 6-8 Filed 08/18/26 Page 11 of 18
technical documents or source code sufficient to show the operation of the Accused Products, and
key categories of technical materials and code remain outstanding. See, e.g., Dkt. 103, 125.
Discovery and expert analysis are ongoing and include, among other things, the multiple software
versions and builds that may be used in combination, as well as additional libraries and software
functions that infringe the asserted claims under the same theories reflected in the claim charts.
These include, for example, acceleration libraries and functions that infringe the claims in the same
manner as the cuDNN CTCLoss and RNNForward functions in the two cuDNN source-code
versions produced by Nvidia. Accordingly, Plaintiff expressly reserves the right to amend,
supplement, or refine these contentions as additional facts are ascertained, discovery is conducted,
analysis is performed, and research is completed. Plaintiff further reserves the right to amend or
supplement its Disclosure under the applicable rules and any Court orders, including to reflect
future productions by Nvidia.
Defendant’s Infringement. Based upon currently available information, Plaintiff
identifies the following asserted claims:
• The ’867 Patent. Defendant has infringed and is infringing claims 16-19, literally and/or
under the doctrine of equivalents. Defendant has infringed and is infringing these
claims both directly and indirectly (by inducing infringement pursuant to 35 U.S.C. §
271(b) and/or by contributing to infringement pursuant to 35 U.S.C.§ 271(c)).
• The ’461 Patent. Defendant has infringed and is infringing claims 21-25, 27-30,
literally and/or under the doctrine of equivalents. Defendant has infringed and is
infringing these claims both directly and indirectly (by inducing infringement
pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 271(b) and/or by contributing to infringement pursuant to 35
U.S.C.§ 271(c)).
• The ’438 Patent. Defendant has infringed and is infringing claims 1, 3-6, 8-9, 12, 14,
10
Case 7:26-mc-00318-LS Document 6-8 Filed 08/18/26 Page 12 of 18
17-18, 21-23, 29-30, 32, 40, 43-44, 46, 48, 51-52, 55-57, literally and/or under the
doctrine of equivalents. Defendant has infringed and is infringing these claims both
directly and indirectly (by inducing infringement pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 271(b) and/or
by contributing to infringement pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 271(c)).
Based upon currently available information, Plaintiff asserts that Defendant has infringed
and/or continues to infringe the patents and claims as identified and described in the infringement
charts for the Accused Products attached as the accompanying Exhibits 1–599 and any later-served
amended or supplemental Exhibits. These exhibits contain illustrative examples of Defendant’s
presently known infringement of the Asserted Claims by evidencing the correspondence between
(i) elements of the Asserted Claims and (ii) corresponding structures and/or functions of the
Accused Products. Such examples are illustrative and not exhaustive, additional materials may
evidence infringement, and additional bases of infringement may be present and uncovered during
discovery. Plaintiff reserves the right to amend or supplement its Disclosure, including the
attached claim charts, upon Nvidia’s compliance with its discovery obligations.
Each element of each asserted claim is presently alleged to be literally present. However,
to the extent Defendant argues that a limitation is not literally present in the Accused Products, then
Defendant still infringes under the doctrine of equivalents. Any differences alleged to exist
between any of the Asserted Claims and any of the Accused Products are insubstantial, and
therefore each Accused Product also meets each limitation under the doctrine of equivalents, as the
identified features of the Accused Product perform substantially the same function in substantially
the same way to achieve substantially the same result as the corresponding claim limitations.
Plaintiff reserves the right to supplement this Disclosure as discovery is conducted, Defendant
provides any alleged non-infringement positions, and claim construction is completed.
Defendant directly infringes each of the asserted claims under 35 U.S.C. §271(a) at least
11
Case 7:26-mc-00318-LS Document 6-8 Filed 08/18/26 Page 13 of 18
by using, operating, testing, advertising, making, installing, maintaining, distributing, supporting,
providing instructions for, offering to sell, selling, and/or otherwise providing services including
the Accused Products—or systems incorporating the Accused Products—within the United States
and/or importing the Accused Products into the United States. Defendant also directly infringes
each of the claims at least by performing, or being responsible for the performance of (e.g., the
acts are attributable to it), each of the claimed steps as set forth in the accompanying charts.
Defendant’s acts of direct infringement are further set forth in the accompanying Exhibits and any
later-served amended or supplemental Exhibits.
Defendant also indirectly infringes the Asserted Claims by inducing infringement pursuant
to 35 U.S.C. § 271(b)). Defendant has had knowledge of each of the asserted patents and of the
specific manner by which the Accused Products infringe each patent since at least September 2024,
when Plaintiff filed and served its original complaint. Defendant knowingly induced one or more
third parties (e.g., business partners, customers, or others), to infringe the Asserted Claims by
making the Accused Products available on Defendant’s website, widely advertising the Accused
Products, providing applications that allow partners and users to access the Accused Products,
providing instructions for installing the Accused Products, and providing technical support to users
and/or engaging in activities that aid and abet infringement of the Asserted Patents by end users
within the United States, with knowledge and intent that performance of such actions would
infringe the Asserted Claims. Defendant committed these acts with knowledge or willful blindness
that such induced acts would constitute infringement of the Asserted Claims at least as of the filing
of the original complaint. Defendant also has had actual or constructive notice of the technology
claimed in the Asserted Patents since at least 2007, when the inventors of the Asserted Patents first
discussed their patented technologies with Mr. Sanford Russell, then the CTO of Nvidia. In
addition, the inventors of the Asserted Patents held multiple discussions with Nvidia regarding a
12
Case 7:26-mc-00318-LS Document 6-8 Filed 08/18/26 Page 14 of 18
potential investment in or acquisition of their company, Neurala, Inc., and its assets, including the
patent family that includes the Asserted Patents. Defendant knew or should have known that it
infringed the Asserted Patents based on its knowledge of the same. Alternatively or additionally,
Defendant was willfully blind to the fact that it infringed the Asserted Patents despite its
knowledge of the same, based on, for example, Defendant’s having cited the application for the
’867 Patent on the face of its own patent since at least June 28, 2010, see Nvidia U.S. Patent No.
8,922,566, and the similarity of the Accused Products to Plaintiff’s patented technology.
Additional evidence of Defendant’s inducement of infringement by others is set forth in each of
accompanying Exhibits.
Defendant also indirectly infringes the Asserted Claims by contributing to infringement
pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 271(c). Each of the Accused Products is a material part of the claims, and
Defendant knew each of the Accused Products is especially made or especially adapted for use in
an infringement of the Asserted Claims. Further, the Accused Products have no substantial non-
infringing uses, as set forth in the example claim charts.
Defendant also contributes to infringement by its customers and end users of the Accused
Products by offering to sell or selling within the United States or importing into the United States
the Accused Products, which are for use in practicing, and under normal operation practice,
