`Case 3:18-cv-02245-JD Document 57 Filed 01/11/19 Page 2 of 5
`


`
`Pursuant to Patent Local Rule 4-3, Plaintiff Firstface Co., Ltd. (“Firstface”), Defendants Samsung
`Electronics Co., Ltd. and Samsung Electronics America, Inc. (collectively, “Samsung”), and Defendant
`Apple Inc. (“Apple”) file this Joint Claim Construction and Prehearing Statement for U.S. Patent No.
`8,831,557, U.S. Patent No. 9,633,373, and U.S. Patent No. 9,779,419.1
`I.
`Construction of Terms on Which the Parties Agree [Patent L.R. 4-3(a)]
`The parties have conferred but have not agreed on the constructions for any terms. The parties
`will notify the Court if they reach any agreement(s) after the date of this filing.
`II.
`Each Party’s Proposed Construction of Each Disputed Term [Patent L.R. 4-3(b)]
`Exhibit A to this Joint Statement provides an identification of the terms, phrases, and clauses of
`the ’557 patent, ’373 patent, and ’419 patent upon which the parties do not agree, each party’s proposed
`constructions, the identification of intrinsic evidence that supports each party’s proposed constructions,
`and the identification of any extrinsic evidence known to each party upon which it intends to rely, either
`to support its proposed construction(s), or to oppose any other party’s proposed construction(s),
`including, but not limited to, as permitted by law, dictionary definitions, citations to learned treatises and
`prior art, and testimony of percipient and expert witnesses, in accordance with Patent L.R. 4-3(b). To
`the extent a party cites intrinsic or extrinsic evidence in support of its proposed construction for a
`disputed claim term, the other parties may also rely on the same intrinsic or extrinsic evidence for that
`disputed claim term.
`III. Most Significant and Dispositive Terms [Patent L.R. 4-3(c)]
`In accordance with the Court’s Standing Order for Claim Construction in Patent Cases Before
`Judge James Donato, the parties have already narrowed the number of disputed terms, phrases, and
`clauses to less than ten. The parties propose briefing nine groups of disputed terms, some of which are
`unique to Firstface and Apple given the two additional patents asserted against Apple. The parties
`believe that all of these terms are significant to resolving the cases against Apple and Samsung.
`
`                                                            
`1 The ’557 patent is asserted against Apple and Samsung. The ’373 patent and ’419 patent are asserted
`only against Apple. The ’557 patent, ’373 patent, and ’419 patent are attached as Exhibits B, C, and D,
`respectively.

`


`
`IV. Claim Construction Briefing
`The parties understand that the Court’s Standing Order for Claim Construction allows them to
`file 20-page opening and opposition briefs and a 10-page reply brief in each case. In order to streamline
`the briefing and facilitate the Court’s review, the parties propose a slight modification to the Court’s
`order. Instead of submitting 100 total pages of briefing, the parties propose submitting a total of 75
`pages of joint briefing (30-page opening and opposition briefs and a 15-page reply brief). The parties
`propose that Firstface file a single 30-page opening brief and a single 15-page reply brief addressing all
`claim terms, and Apple and Samsung jointly file a 30-page opposition brief in which they jointly address
`any terms disputed in both cases and separately address any additional disputed terms unique to that
`defendant. The parties are filing a stipulated request to joint briefing.
`V.
`Length of Time for Claim Construction Hearing [Patent L.R. 4-3(d)]
`The tutorial is currently scheduled for April 18, 2019, at 11 a.m. The parties anticipate requiring
`no more than 45 minutes per side, and no more than 90 minutes total.
`The claim construction hearing is currently scheduled for May 2, 2019, at 11 a.m. The parties
`anticipate requiring no more than 90 minutes per side, and three hours total.
`VI. Witnesses To Be Called At Claim Construction Hearing [Patent L.R. 4-3(e)]
`Firstface does not expect to call any live witnesses during the claim construction hearing.
`Firstface may rely on declarations or deposition testimony from expert witnesses in its claim
`construction briefing. In particular, Mr. Nigel Jones may offer declaration or deposition testimony to
`explain the meaning of claim terms in the context of the subject matter disclosed in the patents-in-suit,
`describe the state of the technology related to the claimed inventions of the patents-in-suit, and explain
`how a person of ordinary skill would interpret claim terms at the time of the invention. Mr. Jones may
`also offer declaration or deposition testimony to rebut any of Defendants’ claim constructions.
`Apple does not expect to call any live witnesses during the claim construction hearing. Apple
`may rely on declarations or deposition testimony from Jason Nieh or George Edwards in its claim
`construction briefing. In particular, Mr. Nieh or Mr. Edwards may offer declaration or deposition
`testimony to explain the meaning of claim terms in the context of the subject matter disclosed in the

`suit, and explain how a person of ordinary skill would interpret claim terms at the time of the invention.
`Samsung does not expect to call any live witnesses during the claim construction hearing.
`Samsung may rely on declarations or deposition testimony from Jason Nieh in its claim construction
`briefing. In particular, Dr. Nieh may offer declaration or deposition testimony to explain the meaning of
`claim terms in the context of the subject matter disclosed in the patents-in-suit, describe the state of the
`technology related to the claimed inventions of the patents-in-suit, and explain how a person of ordinary
`skill would interpret claim terms at the time of the invention. 
`VII. Requested Factual Findings [Patent L.R. 4-3(f)]
`The parties do not request that the Court make any factual findings related to claim construction.

`Firstface’s Infringement
`Contentions, Ex. A.
`EXTRINSIC EVIDENCE:
`Samsung may rely on
`expert testimony from Dr.
`Jason Nieh. Dr. Nieh will
`testify as to the meaning of
`this term to one of ordinary
`skill in the art and the
`accuracy of Samsung’s
`proposed construction based
`on the claim language,
`specification, file history,
`prior art references,
`extrinsic evidence, and
`industry knowledge. Dr.
`Nieh may testify as to how
`a POSITA at the time of the
`alleged invention would
`understand the term
`“pressing the activation
`button” and “an activation
`button has been pressed.”
`Dr. Nieh’s testimony may
`include, but is not limited
`to, the following:
`1. How a POSITA at the

`invention would read the
