`DEFENDANTS’ PRELIMINARY ELECTION OF ASSERTED PRIOR ART
`
`Pursuant to this Court’s Standing Order (Dkt. No. 20), the Discovery and

`47), Hughes Communications, Inc., Hughes Network Systems, LLC, DISH
`Network, L.L.C., and dishNET Satellite Broadband, L.L.C. (collectively,
`“Defendants”), without prejudice to their ability to modify this election of asserted
`prior art in light of the relatively small amount of fact discovery in this action to
`date, preliminarily elect to assert the following prior art references in this action:
