`
`Re: MMI’s Proposed Claim Constructions and Identifications of Intrinsic Evidence
`
`Dear Mr. Fawley:
`
`
`
`Pursuant to the Court’s March 5, 2012 Markman Discovery and Briefing Schedule and
`
`Order (D.E.. 24), Defendant Motorola Mobility, Inc. (“MMI”) hereby serves its Proposed Claim
`
`Constructions and Identifications of Intrinsic Evidence.
`
`
`
`The chart attached as Exhibit A includes MMI’s proposed claim constructions for certain
`
`elements and phrases of the asserted claims of the patent-in-suit and intrinsic evidence for these
`
`constructions. These proposed constructions are not an admission of the validity or definiteness
`
`of any claim or term, and MMI expressly reserves the right to assert that any claim or term is
`
`invalid for indefiniteness or other reasons.
`
`
`
`Discovery in this matter is not yet complete. MMI reserves the right to modify its
`
`proposed claim constructions as well as to add or delete terms, phrases, or clauses based on,
`
`without limitation, the constructions served or proposed by Arnouse, information learned in the
`
`course of meeting and conferring with Arnouse’s counsel, information learned through the
`
`course of discovery or other means, and any further changes or amendments to the parties’
`
`infringement or invalidity contentions. MMI also reserves the right to supplement its proposed
`
`claim constructions with intrinsic evidence, extrinsic evidence, or expert testimony, including in
`
`rebuttal to Arnouse’s proposed or subsequent claim constructions. In addition, MMI expressly
`
`reserves the right to supplement or modify its proposed claim constructions as needed with
`
`respect to summary judgment proceedings or trial.
`
`
`
`As set forth more specifically in Exhibit A, MMI may rely on one or more of the
`
`following to support these and other proposed claim constructions: the claims, specification, and
`
`prosecution histories of the asserted patent and related patent applications; other patents;

`
`dictionary definitions; definitions from learned treatises; inventor; expert; and other testimony;
`
`and documents and pleadings produced by Arnouse or third parties. Furthermore, MMI’s
`
`identifications of intrinsic evidence listed in Exhibit A are exemplary, and should not be viewed
`
`as a limitation of the evidence upon which MMI will rely.
`
`Sincerely,
