Read 17 USC 109, idiot.

Western Digital:

"Plaintiffs claims are barred by the first sale doctrine."

Westinghouse:

"Plaintiffs’ claims for relief are barred by the First Sale
doctrine."

Samsung:

"As a separate and distinct Twelfth Affirmative Defense and each
claim for relief alleged therein, Defendant alleges that Plaintiffs’
claim for copyright infringement is barred under at least the 
provisions of 17 U.S.C. § 109(a), as Defendant was licensed and any 
copies alleged to be infringing were, therefore, lawfully made. "

originality standards required by copyright law."
