`RE: Proposed Amended Infringement Contentions - Amazon
`Tuesday, May 14, 2019 5:35:21 PM
`
`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.

`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.
