`
`PLAINTIFFS’ INTRODUCTION
`
`Plaintiffs InterDigital Communications, Inc., InterDigital Technology Corporation, IPR
`
`Licensing, Inc., and InterDigital Holdings, Inc. (collectively "InterDigital") invest in and develop
`
`new technologies, including wireless technologies for advanced voice and data communications.
`
`InterDigital has been and is at the forefront of several fundamental inventions in wireless modem
`
`design, air interface technology, and end-to-end system architecture that are the core of mobile
`
`devices, networks, and services used by billions of users around the world today.
`
`As part of those efforts, InterDigital has been a wireless pioneer and major contributor to the
`
`definition of standards for 2G, 3G, and 4G technologies. In addition to internal engineering
`
`efforts, InterDigital has established research and development relationships with other
`
`technology leaders and collaborates with a wide range of companies across the wireless
`
`ecosystem on integrating its advanced technologies into products and services for field testing
`
`and commercial deployment.
`
`The four patents at issue here represent innovations in wireless communications technology
`
`that benefit manufacturers, retailers, and consumers of products used in wireless communication.
`
`But instead of licensing InterDigital’s advanced technology, Defendants enjoy the benefits of, but
`
`refuse to compensate InterDigital for, its innovation.
`
`To avoid paying for the technology they practice, Defendants have proposed exotic and
`
`erroneous constructions that depart from the language of the claims. In contrast, InterDigital
`
`proposes constructions that hew close to the claim language because it is the claim language that
`
`"frames and ultimately resolves all issues of claim interpretation." ,4btox, Inc. v. Exitron Corp.,
`
`122 F.3d 1019, 1023 (Fed. Cir. 1997).
`
`For example, while InterDigital seeks a plain language construction for the simple three-
`
`word English claim term: "first power level." Defendants seek a wholesale revision of the term,
`
`asking this Court to rewrite it: "a power level lower than the minimum power level required for
`
`communicating with the base station." Nothing in the words "first power level" include the
`
`concepts of "lower than minimums," "communication," or "base stations." See ,4mgen, Inc. v.
