`1 BMC Statement Regarding Terms for Construction: On the day of the parties’ 4-2 exchange ServiceNow reduced its claim terms from approximately 170
`terms to approximately 90 terms. Between the 4-2 exchange and the 4-3 submission, BMC requested that ServiceNow further reduce its list of claim terms for
`the Court, or, at the very least, prioritize its terms, and conducted several meet and confers, including on April 8, 2015, April 10, 2015, and April 17, 2015. As of
`the date of the JCCS, ServiceNow still seeks construction of more than 55 terms, and to BMC’s knowledge, ServiceNow has not prioritized the terms that
`ServiceNow proposes for construction. Between now and the Markman briefing, BMC will continue to invite cooperative efforts between the parties to reduce
`the number of claim terms for construction and to narrow the disputes between the parties.
`
`2 BMC reserves the right to rely on any intrinsic and/or extrinsic evidence identified by ServiceNow. Further, to the extent it is not otherwise identified, BMC
`reserves the right to rely on the surrounding claim language where the claim term appears.
