`
`Pursuant to Paragraph 7 of the Scheduling Order (Dkt. No. 14), Plaintiff Express Mobile,
`
`Inc. (“Express Mobile”) and Defendant GoDaddy.com, LLC (“GoDaddy”) hereby submit this
`
`Joint Claim Construction Chart identifying for the Court the claim terms of U.S. Patent No.

`6,546,397, U.S. Patent No. 7,594,168, U.S. Patent No. 9,063,755, U.S. Patent No. 9,471,287, and
`
`U.S. Patent No. 9,928,044, for which the parties have reached agreed-upon constructions, as well
`
`as claim terms for which the parties have a dispute together with the parties’ proposed
`
`constructions of the disputed claim terms and citations to the supporting intrinsic evidence. For
`
`several additional terms, the parties have agreed to defer resolution of several indefiniteness issues
`
`that arose during the meet and confer process, and will submit a separate stipulation and proposed
`
`order to the Court on this issue. If the Court would like to resolve these issues as part of claim
`
`construction, however, the parties’ respective positions are set forth below.
`
`Additionally, via meet and confer process the parties have agreed to withdraw certain terms
`
`from requiring construction with the agreed stipulation, similar to the Court’s May 20, 2020 Order

`(D.I. 126) in the case of Shopify Inc. et al v Express Mobile, Inc. (19-439), that should any of these
`
`terms in fact become dispositive, the parties will address them in the alternative in expert discovery
