`II.
`
`PROPOSED CONSTRUCTIONS OF DISPUTED CLAIM TERMS
`
`The following chart identifies the disputed terms of the claims in issue and each side’s
`
`proposed construction of the disputed claim language. A chart including Plaintiffs’ citations to
`
`the intrinsic evidence in support of its respective proposed constructions is attached hereto as
`
`Appendix A. A chart including Defendants’ citations to the intrinsic evidence in support of their
`
`respective proposed constructions is attached hereto as Appendix B. Pursuant to Paragraph 10 of
`
`the Scheduling Order, the parties have also provided the Court with a Joint Appendix (Appendix
`
`C) containing the following exhibits: (1) a copy of the ‘532 Patent; (2) a copy of the ‘740 Patent;
`
`(3) a copy of the prosecution history for U.S. Patent Application No. 10/819,620 (issued as the
`
`‘532 Patent); and (4) a copy of the prosecution history for U.S. Patent Application No.
`
`12/155,676 (issued as the ‘740 Patent). Plaintiffs note that inclusion of these exhibits in the Joint
`
`Appendix does not constitute an admission that any such exhibit, or any part thereof, bears on the
`
`proper construction of any of the disputed claim terms. Amneal believes that the exhibits
`
`constitute the intrinsic evidence – that is, the patents-in-suit and their respective prosecution file
