`ʼ515: Claims 17, 36

`
`ʼ482: Claim 49
`
`II. Each Party’s Proposed Claim Constructions and Supporting Evidence
`
`information related to a person
`
`A side-by-side comparison of the parties’ respective proposed constructions, an
`
`identification of the party/parties proposing the construction, and an identification of the
`
`intrinsic and extrinsic evidence that they intend to rely upon, either to support their
`
`proposed construction of the claim terms or to oppose another party’s proposed
`
`construction, are provided in Exhibit A. The ’557, ’482, and ʼ515 patents share a largely
`
`identical written description; therefore citations made to one of the patents are intended to
`
`refer to the corresponding portions from all patents-in-suit. The parties also reserve the
`
`right to rely on evidence cited by the opposing party to support or oppose particular
`
`constructions as appropriate.
`
`In addition to the extrinsic evidence identified in Exhibit A, the parties anticipate
`
`that they may rely also on Markman briefing and the Court’s Markman Order from the
`
`previous Summit 6 case (3:11-cv-00367), as well as any potential future Federal Circuit
`
`ruling(s) of matters on appeal in the previous Summit 6 case. With respect to expert
`
`testimony, Summit 6 seeks the option of supporting its Markman briefing in this case

`
`
`
`Case 7:14-cv-00014-O Document 149 Filed 10/16/14 Page 4 of 252 PageID 3001
`
`with the expert testimony of Dr. Mark Jones, the expert from the previous Summit 6 case.
`
`Summit 6 has made Defendants aware of Dr. Jones’s prior deposition and expert
`
`testimony, as well as its desire to have the option of filing an expert declaration by Dr.
`
`Jones to oppose Defendants’ indefiniteness arguments if Defendants oppose the use of his
`
`prior deposition and trial testimony. Summit 6 believes such a declaration is appropriate
`
`and permissible under Amended Miscellaneous Order No. 62, § 4-2(b). Defendants
`
`object to Summit 6’s use of Dr. Jones’ testimony for Markman on the grounds that
`
`Defendants here were not parties to the previous Summit 6 case, and therefore never had
`
`an opportunity to depose or cross-examine Dr. Jones on that testimony. Defendants also
`
`object on the ground that claim construction discovery will be closed (Nov. 17, 2014)
`
`before Markman briefing commences (Dec. 30, 2014), and Summit 6’s proposed
`
`production of expert declarations would not take place until after the close of claim
`
`construction discovery, thereby denying Defendants the ability to depose Summit 6’s
`
`expert on the subjects of his declaration testimony. With respect to Summit 6’s reliance
`
`on Amended Miscellaneous Order No. 62, § 4-2(b), Defendants further object on the
`
`grounds that, on the required disclosure date (Oct. 9, 2014), Summit 6 identified volumes
`
`of testimony from Dr. Jones without reference to what testimony would be used to
`
`support what proposed construction, and Summit 6 failed to provide the description of the
`
`substance of Dr. Jones’ proposed testimony that the Order requires.
`
`III. Length of Claim Construction Hearing
`
`Should the Court find a hearing beneficial, the parties anticipate that three hours
`
`will be sufficient with this time to be divided equally between the two sides.
`
`IV. Witness and/or Expert Testimony

`
`None of the parties intend to call any witnesses at the claim construction hearing.
`
`V. Issues for the Pre-Hearing Conference
`
`The parties do not currently have any issues that need to be taken up with the
`
`Court at a pre-hearing conference.
