`
`Dear Judge Andrews:
`
`We write on behalf of Defendants to advise Your Honor of a remaining dispute
`related to the [Proposed] Second Supplemental Claim Construction Order (D.I. 430 in C.A.
`16-453) (“Proposed Order”) submitted by the parties yesterday. The Parties’ respective positions
`are contained within the Proposed Order; however, the Proposed Order itself does not highlight
`that there is a dispute or provide any context for that dispute.
`
`Regarding Terms 24, 25, 26 and 28, the Parties had previously disputed whether
`or not the respective preambles were limiting. The Court resolved that issue, finding that the
`preambles are limiting. See D.I. 422. As a result, the Proposed Order states that each of the
`preambles of these terms is limiting. In addition, the Court has found that the limiting preamble
`of Term 24 is indefinite. See D.I. 423, at 14-17. Plaintiff refuses to acknowledge that this
`limiting indefinite preamble renders the claims in which it appears (i.e., claims 19-24 of the ‘634
`patent) invalid. Thus, in the Proposed Order, the parties state their respective positions on this
`issue for Term 24. Defendants ask the Court to resolve this dispute when considering the
`Proposed Order. Defendants submit that these claims are invalid and should not remain a part of
`the case after the Court has found them to contain an indefinite limitation.
`
`
`
`Respectfully,
`
`/s/ Jack B. Blumenfeld
