`
`JOINT CLAIM CONSTRUCTION AND PREHEARING STATEMENT
`
`Pursuant to the Consent Amended Scheduling Order, Plaintiff Zipit Wireless Inc.
`
`(“Zipit”), and Defendants BlackBerry Limited and BlackBerry Corporation (collectively
`
`“BlackBerry”) file this Joint Claim Construction and Prehearing Statement.
`
`(a)
`
`Construction of Terms on Which the Parties Agree
`
`The parties agree on the following constructions of terms proposed in the parties’
`
`Simultaneous Exchange of Preliminary Claim Constructions and Extrinsic Evidence:
`
`Term
`“instant messaging” / “instant message”
`
`Agreed Construction
`“communication of messages between users
`real-time manner”
`“message
`in a
`/
`communicated between users in a real-time
`manner”
`
`(b)
`
`Each party’s proposed construction of each disputed term, together with an
`identification of all references from the specification or prosecution history that
`support that construction, and an identification of any extrinsic evidence known to
`the party on which it intends to rely either to support its proposed construction or to
`oppose any other party’s proposed construction, including, but not limited to, as
`permitted by law, dictionary definitions, citations to learned treatises and prior art,
`and testimony of percipient and expert witnesses.

`
`The Parties respectfully request the Court to construe the terms set forth in the
`
`attached Exhibit A. The requested information is also set out in the attached Exhibit A.
`
`BlackBerry submits Dr. Arthur T. Brody as an expert to provide testimony by declaration
`
`related to claim construction.
`
`(c)
`
`An identification of the terms whose construction will be most significant to the
`resolution of the case and which will be case or claim dispositive.
`
`Zipit presently believes that the Court’s construction of the terms “handheld
`
`terminal,” “housing,” “beacon,” and “graphical symbols” will be most significant to the
`
`resolution of the case. Zipit is not presently aware at this stage of the case of any term
`
`whose construction will be case or claim dispositive.
`
`BlackBerry identifies the following terms as most significant to the resolution of the
`
`case:
`
`“in response to” / “in response to a loss of a network connection, displays conversation
`
`histories for conversations that were active when the network connection was lost” /
`
`“displaying conversation histories for active conversations terminated by a loss of a
`
`network connection”
`
`BlackBerry believes that this term is significant and/or that adoption of its
`
`proposed constructions for these terms would be claim dispositive as to
`
`noninfringement of the ‘870 Patent
`
`“automatically searches for wireless, Internet protocol network beacons upon all of the
`
`conversation histories being displayed” / “automatically searching for wireless, Internet
`
`protocol network beacons after the conversation histories are displayed”

`
`BlackBerry believes that this term is significant and/or that adoption of its
`
`proposed constructions for these terms would be claim dispositive as to
`
`noninfringement of the ‘870 Patent
`
`“instant messaging terminal”
`
`BlackBerry believes that this term is significant and/or that adoption of its
`
`proposed construction for this term would be claim dispositive as to
`
`noninfringement of the ‘870 and ‘837 Patents
`
`“device database” / “control database”
`
`BlackBerry believes that this term is significant and/or that adoption of its
`
`proposed constructions for these terms would be claim dispositive as to
`
`noninfringement of the ‘678 and ‘694 Patents
`
`“wireless, Internet protocol communications module” / “wireless, Internet protocol
`
`access point”
`
`BlackBerry believes that these terms are significant and/or that adoption of its
`
`proposed position would be claim dispositive as to invalidity of the ‘870
`
`Patent
`
`“instant messaging protocol”
`
`BlackBerry believes that this term is significant.
`
`“beacon”
`
`BlackBerry believes that this term is significant
`
`(d)
`
`The anticipated length of time necessary for the Claim Construction Hearing.
`
`Zipit estimates that the Claim Construction Hearing will take approximately two
`
`hours. BlackBerry estimates that the Claim Construction Hearing will take approximately
`
`four hours. All allotted time will be divided evenly between Zipit and BlackBerry.
