`
`as to our overall structure?
`
`MR. WELLS: Yes, your Honor. So I’ll take the
`
`issues in order.
`
`So first, with regard to the infringement contentions.
`
`We have provided robust infringement contentions in Texas
`
`and those were based upon a variety of information,
`
`including reverse engineering reports and the like, that
`
`aren’t available for Applied. In those infringement
`
`contentions for certain of the limitations in each of the
`
`patents, we noted on information and belief, we think
`
`there’s a narrow-band rejection filter here, but we don’t
`
`have the details. And we’ve gone back to the Texas court
`
`again and again and again and he’s ordered them to produce
`
`the information again and again and again and we’re still
`
`trying to get that information. And so that’s an issue in
`
`Texas, we admit it.
`
`Now, they’ve raised the issue in Texas repeatedly.
`
`They say, “Oh, there’s no Rule 11 basis for you to continue
`
`prosecuting these claims because we’ve told you it’s not a
`
`narrow-band rejection filter, even though we haven’t
`
`provided you with the documents that show that.” And so
`And so
`
`we’re trying to be really really cognizant of Rule 11 and
`we’re trying to be really really cognizant of Rule 11 and
`
`respect the obligations here, and that’s all we’re doing.
`respect the obligations here, and that’s all we’re doing.
`
`If the Plaintiffs want to admit that our contentions in
`If the Plaintiffs want to admit that our contentions in
`
`Texas are sufficient to cover a Rule 11 basis for them, we

`
`
`
`will submit those to your Court -- to your Honor tomorrow,will submit those to your Court -- to your Honor tomorrow,
`
`but we don’t have the information from Applied Materials on
`
`the details of its filter and they have it. It’s not
`
`publicly available. And as soon as we get it, we can
`
`evaluate it. That’s where we are on that issue.
`
`With regard to the claim construction, the Plaintiffs
`
`have identified an expert. We haven’t received an expert
`
`report, of course, because that isn’t called for until later
`
`in the process. We don’t know what he’s going to say. Both
`
`parties have decided, to the extent of additional extrinsic
`
`evidence and intrinsic evidence that wasn’t present in the
`
`Texas cases, so there is going to be different evidence put
`
`forward. There’s going to be expert depositions. There’s
`
`going to be a deposition of at least Doctor Demaray and we
`
`see no reason why the default time lines, under the Patent
`
`Local Rules, wouldn’t apply in the interim. So that’s what
`
`we’re following, your Honor, until -- unless you direct us
`
`differently.
`
`Now, they’re proposing a very drastic cut in how much
`
`time people have to prepare for a claim construction. We
`
`don’t think that’s appropriate and we haven’t heard any
`
`reason why that’s necessary in this case.
`
`And then in addition, they were talking about filing an
`
`opening brief. Under the Patent Local Rules, if there is a
`
`claim of infringement, the patent owner files an opening
