`
`
`III.
`
`PATENT L.R. 4-3(c): IDENTIFICATION OF 10 TERMS, THE CONSTRUCTION OF
`WHICH WILL BE MOST SIGNIFICANT TO RESOLUTION OF THE CASE.
`Finjan’s Statement:
`Qualys is playing games with the Patent Local Rules. At 1:00 p.m. on the day this Joint Claim
`Construction Statement was due, Qualys informed Finjan for the first time that it would agree to
`Finjan’s construction of four of the five terms that Finjan identified as most significant under Patent
`Local Rule 4-3(c). Qualys did so even though the disputes over these terms had existed for months
`and moreover Finjan emailed Qualys on October 30th asking whether Qualys would agree to Finjan’s
`constructions of these terms. Qualys waited to respond until 1:00 p.m. on the due date, December 4th,
`so that it could significantly narrow the disputed terms at the last second and thereby attempt to select
`nearly all of the ten terms itself that the parties were supposed to jointly identify for construction.
`Further, Qualys actually identifies fifteen total terms for construction below, instead of the ten
`total terms allowed under the Patent Local Rules and this Court’s Standing Order for Patent Cases.
`Namely, Qualys combines the terms “receiver” and “transmitter” from three different patents into just
`two terms. The reality is that these six terms are used in three different patents and will require
`separate arguments and analyses. This is especially true considering Qualys’ contention that all six of
`these terms are indefinite, which will require Finjan to rebut those six contentions by going through
`each patent individually and identifying the support in each patent that provides the structure for each
`of these six terms. These are three different patents, with different specifications, from different
`families, with different inventors, and will, therefore, require different analyses for each of the
`different patents. Thus, Qualys’s proposal does not “group” any issues, because they are not related.
`Lumping these six terms across three patents into two total terms below will also prejudice
`Finjan during claim construction due to page-limit constraints, and will increase the burden on Finjan
`and the Court beyond that provided for in the Patent Local Rules and this Court’s Standing Order for
`Patent Cases. Finjan asked Qualys to cut its list of terms for construction down to five pursuant to the
`local rules. Qualys refused. Thus, Finjan requests that the Court order Qulays to choose five terms for
`construction instead of the fifteen it has chosen below.

`8,141,154 “receiver”
`6,965,968 “transmitter”
`Finjan does not consider any of the disputed terms case dispositive.
`Qualys’s Statement:
`Finjan is, in essence, complaining about Qualys’ efforts to reduce the number of disputed claim
`terms to ten, as is required by the Court’s Standing Order for Patent Cases. Given that Finjan is
`asserting nearly eighty claims across seven patents, that has proven a tall order. Nonetheless, on
`October 29, 2019, Qualys initiated meet and confer efforts to reduce the number of asserted claim
`terms by providing Finjan a narrowed list of claim terms for construction. Through that process,
`Qualys had agreed to Finjan’s construction for two of the four means-plus-function terms from the
`’844 patent and it was unclear if there was a material dispute as to the others. Qualys realized there
`was still a potential dispute for the two remaining terms upon receipt of Finjan’s draft claim
`construction chart at 9:19pm on December 2. As part of a continuing effort to reduce the number of
`disputed terms to ten, and to avoid an impasse, Qualys agreed to the other two means-plus-function
`terms on December 4 and immediately communicated its agreement to Finjan.
`Finjan also contends that the two terms “receiver” and transmitter” are actually six different
`terms because those terms appear in three of the seven asserted patents. However, when asked to
`provide authority for its interpretation of the Court’s Standing Order for Patent Cases, Finjan could
`provide no such authority. As reflected by the parties’ respective claim construction proposals, the
`issue is identical across the three patents. Specifically, Finjan contends that the terms “receiver” and
`“transmitter” need not be construed at all, while Qualys contends that the two terms are indefinite for
`lack of structure. To treat this common claim construction dispute concerning the very same claim

`
`terms as distinct makes no sense. Further, the Court’s Standing Order for Patent Cases contemplates
`“grouping of claims by issues presented” as an alternative to seeking leave to increase the number of
`terms above ten. Qualys has, if anything, grouped the claims to present the same claim construction
`issue through the terms “receiver” and transmitter.”
`The following table illustrates that based on Qualys’s agreement to adopt certain of Finjan’s
`proposed constructions, there are now ten claim terms for construction in accordance with the Court’s
`Standing Order for Patent Cases.

`may present live witness testimony from Dr. Michael Goodrich, Distinguished Professor at the
`Department of Computer Science at U.C. Irvine, regarding the scope of the asserted patents and the
`relevant technology, and the proper construction and/or plain and ordinary meaning of the disputed
`terms or any term for which Qualys offers expert testimony. Furthermore, Dr. Goodrich will rebut any
`testimony or opinions offered by Qualys’s expert witness.3
`Qualys’s Statement:
`Qualys agrees that live expert testimony at the Markman hearing is not required. However,
`Qualys intends to offer a declaration and, to the extent requested by the Court, may present live
`witness testimony from Dr. Aviel Rubin, Professor at the Department of Computer Science at Johns
`Hopkins University and Technical Director of the Johns Hopkins University Information Security
`Institute, regarding the scope of the asserted patents and the relevant technology, and the proper
`construction and/or plain and ordinary meaning of the disputed terms. Further, Dr. Rubin will rebut
`any testimony or opinions offered by Finjan’s expert witness.4
`PATENT L.R. 4-3(F): REQUESTED FACTUAL FINDINGS.
`VI.
`No party requests any factual findings from the Court related to claim construction other than
`those submitted with any expert declaration that may accompany the claim construction briefing.
`
`
`3 Qualys’ footnote below is inaccurate and baseless. Finjan properly identified its expert testimony
`under Patent Local Rule 4-2. Qualys’ footnote also misleadingly omits the bulk of Finjan’s
`descriptions of its expert testimony.
`4 Qualys objects to Finjan’s witness statement because it violates Patent L.R. 4-2(b). Patent L.R. 4-2(b)
`provides that “[w]ith respect to any supporting witness, percipient or expert, the identifying party shall
`also provide a description of the substance of that witness’ proposed testimony that includes a listing of
`any opinions to be rendered in connection with claim construction.” Finjan’s Amended Preliminary
`Claim Constructions and Evidentiary Support Pursuant to Patent Local Rule 4-2, served November 12,
`2019, identifies expert testimony as extrinsic evidence, but does not disclose the scope or substance of
`that witness’s proposed testimony. A representative and exemplary disclosure states: “Finjan will rely
`on expert testimony to rebut any expert opinion that Qualys offers to support its constructions.”
`Finjan’s disclosures do not satisfy the requirements of Patent L.R. 4-2(b).
