`PURSUANT TO LOCAL PATENT RULE 4-3
`
`Pursuant to Local Patent Rule 4-3 of the Rules of Practice for Patent Cases and Docket
`
`Control Order (D.I. 60), the parties hereby submit this Joint Claim Construction and Prehearing
`
`Statement.
`
`A.

`
`The parties have agreed that certain phrases (identified by the phrase “AGREED
`
`CONSTRUCTION”) should be construed as proposed by the parties in the chart attached hereto
`
`as Exhibit A. The parties further agree that any claim terms, phrases, or clauses for which no
`
`construction is provided should be given their ordinary meaning as understood by a person of
`
`ordinary skill in the respective art of each patent and do not require construction by the Court.

`
`B.
`
`
`
`P.R. 4-3(b): PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION OF DISPUTED CLAIM TERMS,
`PHRASES, OR CLAUSES
`
`Exhibit A details disputed patent claim terms, phrases, or clauses for which Plaintiff and
`
`Defendants propose different constructions. Because each of these terms is potentially claim
`
`dispositive, the parties request construction of all of the disputed claim terms, phrases, or clauses
`
`by the Court identified in Exhibit A. The parties have set forth in Exhibit A the intrinsic and
`
`extrinsic evidence they each may rely on in support of their respective proposed constructions.
`
`Pursuant to the Docket Control Order (D.I. 60), the parties identify the following terms as
`
`the ten (10) most significant terms:
`
`1. “permitting said exposure list to be dynamically updated” (’470 patent: cl. 25)
`[dispositive of certain prior art arguments]
`2. “update said exposure list in real time with control instruction fields via dynamic
`booking of information in time for exposure from mediators” (’334 patent: cl. 22)
`[dispositive of certain prior art arguments] / “able to create and update said exposure
`list in real time with control instruction fields via dynamic booking of information in
`time for exposure from mediators” (’334 patent: cl. 22) [potentially claim dispositive]
`/ “update an exposure list having control instruction fields, via dynamic booking of
`display information from mediators” (’334 patent: cl. 32) [dispositive of certain prior
`art arguments]
`3. “means for generating and dynamically updating an exposure list from said control
`instructions” (’334 patent: cl. 32) [dispositive of certain prior art arguments]
`4. “computerized control center means” (’470 patent: cl. 26) [potentially claim
`dispositive]
`5. “computerized means for coordinating and controlling electronic displays” (’334
`patent: cl. 32) [potentially claim dispositive]
`6. “exposure handler means whereby the control center functions, in real time and
`through the medium of said exposure handler, to create and update an exposure list
`having control instruction fields, via dynamic booking of display information from
`mediators” (’334 patent: cl. 32) [potentially claim dispositive]
`7. “a means for displaying images in accordance with said exposure list associated with
`each on of said computerized devices” (’470 patent: cl. 26) [potentially claim
`dispositive]
`8. “external information mediators,” “mediators,” “mediators of information” (’470
`patent: cls. 25, 26; ’334 patent: cls. 22, 32) [potentially claim dispositive]

`
`PRELIMINARY IDENTIFICATION OF EXPERT TESTIMONY IN RESPONSE
`TO INDEFINITENESS CHALLENGES
`
`Pursuant to the Docket Control Order (D.I. 60), T-Rex states that, as further set forth in
`
`Exhibit A, it may rely on expert declaration(s) in support of certain of its positions and/or
`
`constructions set forth in its Claim Construction Brief, including to rebut Defendants’ indefinite
`
`allegations and/or constructions. In particular, T-Rex may offer testimony of Zaydoon Jawadi,
`
`who is an expert in at least the fields of software development, engineering, consulting, and
`
`management in the fields of computing systems, Internet, website technologies, data storage,
`
`data networking, software applications, telephony, and telecommunication. Such testimony is
`
`expected to relate to: (1) background technical information regarding the fields relating to the
`
`patents-in-suit and the prior art; (2) the level of skill in the art; (3) the ordinary meaning in the
`
`relevant field(s) of terms or phrases in the patents-in-suit or in other intrinsic or extrinsic
`
`evidence; (4) how one of ordinary skill would interpret and understand the technical disclosures
`
`of the patents-in-suit and other intrinsic and extrinsic evidence; (5) the appropriate construction

`
`of the disputed claim terms; (6) testimony in support of T-Rex’s proposed constructions;
`
`(7) rebuttal to Defendants’ proposed constructions; (8) how and what one of ordinary skill would
`
`identify in the written description as the structures corresponding to the “means” claim terms;
`
`and (9) how the structures in the written description corresponding to the “means” claim terms
`
`perform the claimed functions. In the event that T-Rex does offer testimony of Mr. Jawadi, the
`
`parties agree that Defendants may rely on rebuttal expert declaration(s) first in their Response
`
`Claim Construction Brief. T-Rex agrees to make its expert available for deposition at a mutually
`
`convenient time prior to Defendants submitting their response brief. Any declaration from
`
`Defendants submitted in connection with their response brief would be limited to rebuttal
`
`opinions and testimony, and not affirmative opinions/testimony in support of Defendants' claim
`
`constructions. In the event that Defendants submit such a rebuttal declaration, Defendants agree
`
`to make the witness available for deposition at a mutually convenient time.

`
`T-Rex’s Proposed Construction
`
`Defendants’ Proposed Construction
`
`Function: generating and dynamically updating
`an exposure list from said control instructions
`
`Structure: software running on a computer server
`that creates a queue and automatically sorts the
`control instructions, in real time into an existing
`queue, according to the algorithms described in
`the ’470 patent, col. 7 ll. 18-36, or equivalents

`
`Extrinsic Evidence:
`None
`
`This term is a means-plus-function term that
`should be governed by pre-AIA section 112,
`paragraph six.
`
`
`The function is “generating and updating when
`and as needed an exposure list from control
`instructions.”
`
`
`The corresponding structure is a “central
`computer” (central computer 28 of Fig. 1 of
`‘470 Pat.) and associated exposure handler
`(exposure handler 3 of Fig. 1 of ‘470 Pat.)
`configured to allocate information relating to
`projector control instructions according to the
`following algorithm:
`1) mediator information is sorted into the
`exposure list in accordance with the
`wishes of the mediator or its instructions
`when available space is found in the
`exposure list or in alternative places in
`the exposure list given by the mediator;
`2) if the exposure list is completely filled
`with instructions, the mediator
`instructions to the control centre remain
`in the queue list in the server in readiness
`for later inclusion in the exposure list.
`(‘470 Pat. at 7:25-35) and equivalents thereof.
