`
`I.
`
`Introduction
`
`Pursuant to this Court’s December 12, 2017 Oral Order regarding terms 10, 24, and 25
`
`(C.A. No. 16-453, D.I. 376), Defendants propose the following constructions1 for these terms.
`
`II.
`
`Term 10: “network” (’344 pat., cl. 13; ’966 pat., cl. 13)
`
`Term
`
`network
`
`Proposed
`
`Plaintiff’s
`Construction
`Not indefinite.
`
`“a group of connected
`computers and/or computer
`processes”
`
`Defendants’ Proposed Construction
`
`Proposed Construction Pursuant to
`Dec. 12 Oral Order: “each of the
`broadcast channels’
`
`
`III. Terms 24-25: Preambles
`A.
`
`Term 24: “A non-routing table based computer-readable medium containing
`instructions for controlling communications of a participant of a broadcast
`channel within a network” (’634 pat., cl. 19)
`
`Term
`
`A non-routing
`table based computer
`readable
`medium
`containing
`instructions for
`controlling
`communications
`of a participant of a
`broadcast channel within
`a network
`
`Plaintiff’s Proposed
`Construction
`Not indefinite and covers
`patent
`eligible
`subject
`matter.
`
`“instructions for controlling
`communications within a
`network that does not need
`routing tables or switch-
`based methods
`to move
`messages
`between
`participants”
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Defendants’ Proposed Construction
`
`Proposed Construction Pursuant to
`Dec. 12 Oral Order: The preamble is
`limiting.
`
`“A
`computer-readable
`medium containing instructions that
`control
`communications
`of
`a
`participant of a broadcast channel
`within a network that does not use
`routing table(s)”
`
`Also the claim covers mere printed
`matter, thus the claimed limitations are
`given no patentable weight and/or the
`claim covers patent ineligible subject
`matter under 35 USC 101.
`
`
`1 Defendants do not waive their argument that these terms are indefinite and expressly reserve
`the right to later address issues of indefiniteness in this matter with respect to these terms.
