`
`
`MR. BLUMENFELD: I don't think this is any in
`the local rules. I think this is a Ingenico issue, so I'll
`let Ingenico speak to it.
`MS. STERNBERG: I can speak to it. Our concern
`right now at least in the Ingenico case, we don't know how
`many claims, there are 189 potential claims that can be
`asserted, and we haven't received infringement contentions.
`We're just nervous about limiting the RFA to fifty if there
`are more than fifty or there are a hundred claims that are
`at issue because RFA's are useful for contention.
`THE COURT: This is a good time to address the
`number of claims. One area in which I will push back is
`having too many claims. And 189 is way too many claims. So
`there are various ways that I can limit the number of claims
`if you don't, but I would urge you in the strongest terms to
`go back and weed out those claims. Otherwise -- and I'm
`sure your experience on this will tell you that if you have
`anything remotely approaching 189 claims in one case, you're
`going to spend most of the days, or most of the trial on the
`long march. And you know what I mean with an asterisk. And
`now on claim 167, first limitation, can I put a green check
`next to it? Yes, you can. And the jury is going to hate
`you. They're going to want to take you around the back and
`shoot you.
`
`So I would suggest it's in your interest as well

`
`as the jury's interest and I am going to make sure that it
`doesn't come to pass that we have 189 claims. I would
`suggest something more in the neighborhood of ten. I don't
`know what your experience has been in terms of what works
`with a jury, but my experience, limited to be sure, but is
`that anything more than that is just the jury loses track.
`MR. CHUEBON: Yes, Your Honor, we have no
`intention of putting 186 claims in front of the jury.
`THE COURT: Thank you. I probably should have
`asked first and not bore you with the speech. But that's --
`I feel really strongly about this.
`MR. BLUMENFELD: Your Honor, can I address that
`for a moment?
`THE COURT: Yes.
`MR. BLUMENFELD: Unlike in Ingenico, we have
`received preliminary first round infringement contentions
`from IOENGINE, and they have, in fact, in the first round
`asserted 96 claims. And it's less than 189, but 96 is way
`too many to deal with. It's not only from our point of view
`a jury issue.
`THE COURT: I understand.
`MR. BLUMENFELD: It's going to fall on your
`plate when we start claim construction, it's going to fall
`on yours when we do invalidity contentions, and yes, there
`will be invalidity in this case. And we would like to

`
`discuss with you getting at least a first cut down before
`claim construction so that we don't have to deal with terms
`of 96 claims and then probably after claim construction
`narrowing it again.
`THE COURT: Yes. I absolutely think, well, 96
`is way too many, way too many. So I would direct you to go
`back and significantly adjust the number of claims that you
`plan to raise. And there are -- one thing if you're
`absolutely adamant about proceeding with a significant
`number of claims, I will employ all my resources to try to
`persuade you that that should not be your approach. But in
`the end if we have to, I'll break the case up, and I'll try
`the case involving a smaller number of claims and we'll see
`where we are. That is not an option that I particularly
`welcome because that's burdensome on everybody, but I just
`am not going to see 96 claims, unless there is something
`about the case that's really extraordinary which I haven't
`seen so far.
`
`MR. CHUEBON: Yes, Your Honor.
`THE COURT: The earlier the better for the
`reasons that Mr. Blumenfeld has given.
`MR. CHUEBON: Thank you, Your Honor. If I may,
`there is one reason that there are so many claims. We
`didn't want to raise it to Your Honor, but we did have
`issues with PayPal with their core technology document
