`
`III.
`
`Patent L.R. 4-3(b): Each Party’s Proposed Construction of Each Disputed Term
`
`Attached as Exhibit A is a Joint Claim Construction Statement Chart that presents each
`
`party’s proposed construction for each disputed term, together with an identification of all
`
`supporting intrinsic and extrinsic evidence. Each party reserves the right to use evidence identified
`
`or relied upon by any other party and to use any portion of documents identified in the attached
`
`charts, not just those portions expressly cited.
`
`IV.
`
`Patent L.R. 4-3(c): Identification of Top Ten Terms for Construction
`
`Pursuant to Patent Local Rule 4-3(c), the parties identify the following ten terms “whose
`
`construction will be most significant to the resolution of the case”:
`
`’736 Patent
`
`1. “means for extracting an address associated with an online information source from an
`
`information signal embedded in said electronic signal, and for automatically establishing, in
`
`response to a user initiated command, a direct link with the online information source”
`
`2. “indicating”
`
`3. “automatic and direct access” / “automatically and directly electronically accessing”
`
`Pursuant to Patent Local Rule 4-3(c), Apple submits that the terms “means for extracting an
`
`address associated with an online information source from an information signal embedded in said
`
`electronic signal, and for automatically establishing, in response to a user initiated command, a direct
`
`link with the online information source” and “automatic and direct access” / “automatically and directly

`
`electronically accessing” for the ’736 Patent will be claim dispositive for each asserted claim reciting any
`
`of these terms and any claim that depends therefrom. OpenTV does not agree that the construction of
`
`these terms will be necessarily dispositive.
`
`’169 Patent
`
`4. “directive” / “directives, wherein said directives are indicative of an audio, video and/or
`
`graphic presentation which requires a set of resources” / “directives which are indicative of an audio,
`
`video and/or graphic presentation requiring a set of resources” / “directives which are indicative of
`
`an audio, video and/or graphic presentation which requires a set of resources”
`5. “prerequisite directive”1
`
`6. “subset of said set of resources”
`
`7. “wherein said prohibiting is in further response to detecting a corresponding time for
`
`expiration has not yet expired, and wherein said method further comprises allowing the presenting of
`
`said presentation in response to detecting said time for expiration has expired”
`
`8. “a processing unit coupled to said receiver, wherein said processing unit is configured to:
`
`determine whether said one or more directives includes a prerequisite directive which
`
`indicates that acquisition of a subset of said set of resources is a prerequisite for initiating the
`
`presentation;
`
`initiate said presentation, in response to determining the one or more directives do not
`
`include said prerequisite directive; and
`
`prohibit initiation of said presentation until said subset of resources are acquired, in response
`
`to determining the one or more directives include said prerequisite directive.”
`
`9. Whether the preamble of claim 22 is limiting.
`
`Pursuant to Patent Local Rule 4-3(c), Apple submits that the terms “prerequisite directive…,”
`
`“wherein said prohibiting is in further response to…,” “a processing unit…,” and whether the preamble
`
`1 Apple proposes that the appropriate term to construe is the broader term, “prerequisite
`directive which indicates that [acciuisition/acquisition] of a subset of said set of resources is a
`prerequisite for [initiating] the presentation”

`
`of claim 22 is limiting will be claim dispositive for each asserted claim of the ’169 Patent reciting
`
`the terms and any claim that depends therefrom. OpenTV does not agree that the construction of these
`
`terms will be necessarily dispositive.
`
`’740 Patent
`
`10. “imprint of data”
`
`The parties dispute additional claim terms, included in the Joint Claim Construction Statement
`
`Chart. See Exhibit A, attached. The parties are continuing to discuss the disputed terms.
`
`V.
`
`Proposed Constructions of Disputed Terms
`
`The Joint Claim Construction Statement chart attached as Exhibit A presents the parties’
`
`proposed constructions for the ten terms identified by the parties under Patent Local Rule 4-3(c) with
`
`intrinsic and extrinsic evidence supporting such constructions. Each party reserves the right to use
`
`evidence identified or relied upon by any other party and to use any portion of documents identified in
`
`the attached charts, not just those portions expressly cited.
`
`VI.
`
`Patent L.R. 4-3(d): Length of Claim Construction Hearing
`
`The Court has set the Claim Construction Hearing and Tutorial for May 12, 2016, starting at 1:30
`
`p.m. The parties anticipate the hearing will take the full three hours the Court has allotted for the tutorial
`
`and claim construction hearing. The parties will divide this time evenly, with 30 minutes for each side for
`
`the tutorial and one hour for each side for the claim construction hearing.
`
`VII.
`
`Patent L.R. 4-3(e): Anticipated Witnesses at the Claim Construction Hearing
`
`To the extent the parties intend to call experts to testify in support of the proposed constructions
`
`at the claim construction hearing, the parties will seek leave in accordance with this Court’s Standing
`
`Order for Patent Cases, § IV.D. Consistent with Patent L.R. 4-3(e), the parties identify the proposed
`
`testimony of possible witnesses below.
