`RE: Proposed Amended Infringement Contentions - Amazon
`
`Wes, 
` 
`Amazon opposes PersonalWeb’s requested amendment. 
` 
`The patent rules are “designed specifically to require parties to crystallize their theories of the case early in the litigation 
`so as to prevent the shifting sands approach to claim construction.”  O2 Micro Int’l Ltd. v. Monolithic Power Sys., Inc., 
`467 F.3d 1355, 1364 (Fed. Cir. 2006) (internal quotation marks omitted).  PersonalWeb’s requested amendment—
`provided after the parties filed their claim construction briefs and just days before the Markman hearing—is exactly the 
`sort of “shifting sands” approach the patent rules are meant to prevent.  PersonalWeb must establish good cause for its 
`amendment by showing it acted with diligence promptly after discovery of new evidence.  Apple Inc. v. Samsung Elecs. 
`Co., No. 12‐cv‐0630‐LHK PSG, 2013 WL 3246094, *1 (N.D. Cal. June 26, 2013).  Based on your email, PersonalWeb’s 
`amendment is explicitly in response to Amazon and Twitch’s legal contentions regarding claim construction, and not as a 
`result of any newly discovered evidence.  As another court in this district observed, “[c]oncern over the possibility of a 
`loss at claim construction does not amount to good cause.”  Id. at *4. 
` 
`Best regards,

`Subject: Proposed Amended Infringement Contentions ‐ Amazon 
` 
`Counsel, 
` 
`In view of various discussions between counsel for PersonalWeb and Amazon regarding selection of claim construction 
`terms as well as other developments in the cases, PersonalWeb seeks to amend its Infringement Contentions for both 
`Amazon and Twitch and hereby requests Amazon’s and Twitch’s consent for PersonalWeb to make this amendment. 
` 
`Attached are redline copies of the original Infringement Contentions and Exhibits A‐C showing the proposed changes 
`that PersonalWeb seeks to make.  As you will see, there are relatively few changes. Several of them are just clarifying 
`language and changes for consistency between the different Exhibits. Claims 29 and 30 of the ‘420 have been removed 
`from Exhibit C to reflect PersonalWeb’s withdrawal of those claims as discussed in our claim construction conferences of 
`counsel. The table of asserted claims on page 2 of the Infringement Contention pleading has been changed to 
`correspond to the claims listed in the Exhibits. Last, clarifications regarding the treatment of unlicensed content has 
`been added to the Exhibits. 
` 
`Redline copies of the original Infringement Contentions and Exhibits regarding Twitch will be sent shortly in a separate 
`email. The proposed amendments in the Twitch Infringement Contentions generally correspond with the proposed 
`amendments in the Amazon Infringement Contentions. 
` 
`We are not aware of any prejudice to Amazon or Twitch that would result from PersonalWeb making the proposed 
`amendments. 
` 
`Please advise if Amazon and Twitch if they consent to PersonalWeb to make this amendment and/or will not oppose a 
`request by PersonalWeb to the Court for leave to so amend its Infringement Contentions.
