`
`Pursuant to the Court’s Case Management Order (Dkt. No. 38), the
`Court’s Order Granting Defendants’ Unopposed Ex Parte Motion to Amend the
`Court’s Case Management Order (Dkt. No. 45), and Patent L.R. 4.2, Plaintiff
`Bell Northern Research, LLC (“BNR”) and Defendants LG Electronics Inc., LG
`Electronics U.S.A., Inc., and LG Electronics Mobile Research U.S.A., LLC
`(collectively “LG”) submit this Joint Hearing Statement, Joint Claim
`Construction Worksheet, and Joint Claim Construction Chart. The patents-in-
`suit are: U.S. Patent Nos. 8,416,862 (“the ’862 patent”); 7,957,450 (“the ’450
`patent”); 8,792,432 (“the ’432 patent”); 7,039,435 (“the ’435 patent”); 6,549,792
`(“the ’792 patent”); and 7,945,285 (“the ’285 patent”).
`The parties exchanged preliminary claim constructions on September 20,
`2019 and responsive claim constructions on October 4, 2019. Pursuant to Patent
`L.R. 4.1(e), a conference was held on October 9, 2019.
`Based on the Court’s remarks in the claim construction status conference
`of April 26, 2019, the parties agree that the Court’s constructions, and the record
`underlying the same, from the Consolidated Cases as they relate to patents
`currently in this matter should also apply to this case, unless superseded or
`modified by a subsequent ruling. The parties reserve the right to appeal any
`ruling on the claim terms identified in the claim construction ruling in the
`Consolidated Cases in this Action, and reserve the right to rely on the record
`established in the Consolidated Cases for purposes of any such appeal.

`
`B. HEARING DURATION
`The parties defer to the Court’s preference on the specific number of hours
`for the hearing, but anticipate that the Claim Construction Hearing and Tutorial
`will require a total of four hours, with one hour being dedicated to the initial
`technical tutorials, and with the remaining three hours being dedicated to the
`Claim Construction portion of the hearing.
`Because the Court is already familiar with the ’862 and ’435 patents
`through the claim construction proceedings in Bell Northern Research, LLC v.
`Coolpad Technologies, Inc., No. 18-CV-1783-CAB-BLM (SD Cal.), Bell
`Northern Research, LLC v. Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., No. 18-CV-1784-
`CAB-BLM (SD Cal.), and Bell Northern Research, LLC v. ZTE Corporation,
`No. 18-CV-1786-CAB-BLM (SD Cal.) (collectively “the Consolidated Cases”),
`the parties propose that a Tutorial is only necessary for the ’792 and ’285
`patents.
`C. WITNESSES
`The parties do not intend to call any witnesses live at the hearing. The
`parties intend to submit expert declarations along with their claim construction
`briefing, as indicated in Appendix B.
`The parties currently anticipate and seek the Court’s approval for the
`following schedule for the exchange of expert declarations and expert
`depositions (if any):
` Round 1:
`o Both parties may serve opening expert declarations on claim
`construction simultaneously with their opening claim
`construction briefs.
`o LG may serve its expert declaration(s) (if any) on
`indefiniteness when it files its motion for summary judgment

`
`
`on indefiniteness on the same day that opening claim
`construction briefs are due.
` Round 2:
`o Both parties may serve rebuttal expert declarations on claim
`construction (if any) simultaneously with their responsive
`claim construction briefs.
`o BNR may serve its responsive expert declaration (if any) on
`indefiniteness when it files its opposition to LG’s motion for
`summary judgment on indefiniteness on the same day that
`responsive claim construction briefs are due.
` The parties seek permission from the Court to conduct expert
`depositions between Round 1 and Round 2, and between Round 2
`and the Claim Construction Hearing.
`D. ORDER OF PRESENTATION
`The parties propose that the time for the technical tutorial be divided
`evenly between BNR and LG, wherein BNR’s technical presentation will
`precede LG’s presentation.
`The parties further propose that the time for the Claim Construction
`portion of the hearing also be divided evenly between BNR’s and LG’s
`respective presentations. The party requesting construction will argue first,
`followed by the party opposing construction.
