`TYLER DIVISION
`
`JOINT CLAIM CONSTRUCTION AND PREHEARING STATEMENT
`
`Pursuant to Local Patent Rule 4-3, Plaintiffs, VirnetX Inc. and Leidos, Inc., formerly Science
`
`Applications International Corporation (collectively “VirnetX”) and Defendant, Apple Inc.
`
`(“Apple”) hereby file this Joint Claim Construction and Prehearing Statement in accordance with the
`
`Court’s Docket Control Order entered June 25, 2013 [Dkt. 56].
`
`a) Terms on Which the Parties Agree
`
`
`
`After several meet and confer telephone conferences, the parties were able to narrow the list
`
`of disputed claim terms and phrases for their P.R. 4-1 lists and P.R. 4-2 exchange of preliminary
`
`claim construction and extrinsic evidence. The parties, however, were unable to reach an agreement
`
`on the meaning of the disputed claim terms or phrases set forth in Exhibit B hereto.
`
`b) Proposed Constructions

`
`Case 6:12-cv-00855-LED Document 113 Filed 02/14/14 Page 2 of 7 PageID #: 2944
`
`
`
`
`
`The parties have set forth their proposed constructions in four exhibits:
`
`Exhibit A sets forth the proposed constructions of each agreed upon claim term of the
`
`VirnetX patents in suit, U.S. Patent No. 6,502,135 (“the ‘135 patent”), U.S. Patent No. 7.418,504
`
`(“the ‘504 patent”), U.S. Patent No. 7,490,151 (“the ‘151 patent”), U.S. Patent No. 7,921,211 (“the
`
`‘211 patent”), U.S. Patent No. 8,051,181 (“the ‘181 patent”) and 8,504,697 (“the ‘697 patent”)
`
`(collectively, “the Patents-in-Suit”). For those terms in Exhibit A previously construed by this
`
`Court, the parties request that those terms be given the meanings as adopted in the Court’s
`
`memorandum opinions in VirnetX Inc. v. Cisco Sys. Inc., No. 6:10-cv-417-LED, Dkt. No. 266 (Apr.
`
`25, 2012) and VirnetX Inc. v. Mitel Networks Corp., No. 6:11-cv-18-LED, Dkt. No. 307 (Aug. 1,
`
`2012).
`
`
`
`Exhibit B sets forth VirnetX’s and Apple’s proposed respective constructions of each
`
`disputed claim term of the Patents-in-Suit. VirnetX and Apple have agreed to rest on the prior claim
`
`construction briefing for many of the terms that have already been construed. See No. 6:10-CV-
`
`00417-LED, Dkt. Nos. 173, 182, 192, 209, 366, 424. Where a party proposes a construction that
`
`was previously adopted by the Court, that party requests that the term be given the meaning as
`
`adopted in the Court’s memorandum opinions in VirnetX Inc. v. Cisco Sys. Inc., No. 6:10-cv-417-
`
`LED, Dkt. No. 266 (Apr. 25, 2012) and VirnetX Inc. v. Mitel Networks Corp., No. 6:11-cv-18-LED,
`
`Dkt. No. 307 (Aug. 1, 2012). The terms that the parties will rest on the prior briefing have been
`
`highlighted in green. The un-highlighted terms will be the subject of new briefing in this matter.
`
`
`
`Exhibit C sets forth all references from the specification and prosecution history that support
`
`VirnetX’s proposed constructions and an identification of the extrinsic evidence known to VirnetX
`
`on which VirnetX intends to rely either to support its proposed construction of the claim language or
`
`to oppose Apple’s proposed construction of the claim language. VirnetX relies on the intrinsic

`
`evidence as a whole relating to the Patents-in-Suit, including the claim language, the specification
`
`and figures, the file history, and the references cited on the face of the patent. In addition to the
`
`intrinsic and extrinsic evidence identified by VirnetX, VirnetX reserves the right to rely on the
`
`record of VirnetX Inc. v. Microsoft Corp., No. 6:07-cv-80, VirnetX Inc. v. Cisco Sys. Inc., No. 6:10-
`
`cv-417-LED, and VirnetX Inc. v. Mitel Networks Corp., No. 6:11-cv-18-LED, and any intrinsic or
`
`extrinsic evidence identified by Apple in support of its proposed constructions. VirnetX may also
`
`rely upon intrinsic and extrinsic evidence, including the prosecution history and/or any re-
`
`examinations, to rebut the constructions proposed by Apple.
`
`
`
`Exhibit D sets forth all references from the specification and prosecution history that support
`
`Apple’s proposed constructions and an identification of the extrinsic evidence known to Apple on
`
`which Apple intends to rely either to support their proposed construction of the claim language or to
`
`oppose VirnetX’s proposed construction of the claim language. Apple relies on the intrinsic
`
`evidence as a whole relating to the Patents-in-Suit, including the claim language, the specification
`
`and figures, the file history, and the references cited on the face of the patent. In addition to the
`
`intrinsic and extrinsic evidence identified by Apple, Apple reserves the right to rely on the record of
`
`VirnetX Inc. v. Microsoft Corp., No. 6:07-cv-80, VirnetX Inc. v. Cisco Sys. Inc., No. 6:10-cv-417-
`
`LED, and VirnetX Inc. v. Mitel Networks Corp., No. 6:11-cv-18-LED, and any intrinsic or extrinsic
`
`evidence identified by VirnetX in support of its proposed constructions. Apple may also rely upon
`
`intrinsic and extrinsic evidence, including the prosecution history and/or any re-examinations, to
`
`rebut the constructions proposed by VirnetX.
`
`c) Claim Construction Hearing Length
`
`
`
`VirnetX anticipates that the length of time necessary for the Claim Construction Hearing is 1
`
`hour, with the time being split equally between VirnetX and Apple.

`
`
`
`Apple anticipates that the length of time necessary for the Claim Construction Hearing is 2
`
`hours, with the time being split equally between VirnetX and Apple.
`
`d) Witnesses, Including Experts, for the Claim Construction Hearing
`
`
`
`Based on their current understanding of the parties’ respective claim construction positions,
`
`as derived from the meet-and-confer process, VirnetX and Apple do not believe expert testimony is
`
`necessary for the Claim Construction Hearing. If testimony becomes necessary, VirnetX reserves
`
`the right to call Dr. Mark Jones and Apple reserves the right to call Dr. John Kelly.
`
`e) Other Issues for the Hearing
`
`
`
`VirnetX respectfully requests that the Court allow VirnetX to argue its motion to compel the
`
`production of Apple’s source code [Dkt. No. 95] which is currently before the Court.
