`7 On August 26, 2015 Core Wireless changed its initial position and now proposes that the structure for Term No. 5 is “power measuring
`unit 313 as shown in Fig. 3, and statutory equivalents thereof.” Apple objects to this change as untimely because it comes after claim
`construction briefing is complete. Apple did not have notice of this change and the opening and opposition claim construction briefing
`was directed to Core Wireless's earlier position that the structure for Term 5 is “power measuring unit 313 and weighting unit 313 as
`shown in Fig. 3, and statutory equivalents thereof.” (Bold underlined text indicates changed portion of Core Wireless’s
`construction). (See CW Br. at 9 (“For Terms 5 and 6, Core Wireless and Apple agree that power measuring unit 313 and weighting unit
