`CLAIM CONSTRUCTION HEARING
`The parties believe that three hours will be sufficient for the claim
`construction hearing with Fontem being allocated half of the time and Defendants
`being allocated half of the time. Subject to the Court’s preference, the Parties have
`agreed to present the disputed claim terms term-by-term, with Fontem presenting
`first for the first term, and Defendants first for the second term, and so forth.
`Neither side currently plans to call any witness at the claim construction hearing,
`but reserve the right to do so in the future.
