`
`Dear Judge Gardephe:
`
`The parties write jointly regarding the claim construction hearing scheduled for October 25, 2019
`at 10:00 a.m. See Case No. 14 Civ. 2396 (PGG), Dkt. No. 165 (Aug. 14, 2019).
`
`First, the parties understand that at the beginning of the October 25 hearing, the Court would like
`a tutorial about the case, including the patents-in-suit. See Dkt. No. 139 at 8:7-15. As such, the
`parties propose that each side’s attorneys present a non-argumentative tutorial no longer than
`thirty minutes per side at the outset of the hearing.
`
`Second, the parties envision that the remainder of the claim construction hearing, excluding the
`tutorial, can be completed in approximately two hours. The parties also suggest that the Court
`conduct the claim construction hearing on a term-by-term basis, i.e., both sides would present
`their arguments on the first claim term before the second claim term is addressed, etc. In the
`parties’ view, a term-by-term approach will be more streamlined and will aid the Court in better
`understanding the parties’ claim construction positions.
`
`Finally, the parties do not intend to present expert testimony as part of the tutorial or at the
`remainder of the hearing.
`
`If the Court would like to discuss these proposals or other claim construction hearing logistics,
`the parties would welcome a telephonic conference with the Court.
