`In this matter, Ancora has asserted that Defendants infringed Claims 1-3, 6-14, and 16 of the
`
`’941 Patent. From these claims, 13 terms and phrases have been identified for construction.
`
`For the Court’s convenience, Ancora addresses these 13 terms and phrases in the order in
`
`which they first appear in the asserted claims. Further, because the majority of these terms and
`
`phrases first appear in Claim 1, Ancora includes that claim in full below—underlining the disputed
`
`phrases and double-underlining/bolding the disputed terms:

`

`Consistent with these statements, the patentee thus amended the Claim 1 “setting up” step to

`any of the other Claim 1 steps, including the “verifying” step at issue. This was a deliberate choice.
`
`Claim 18 further illustrates the deliberate choice made by the patentee to require that only
`
`by
`“
`.”
`certain steps must be performed by an OS-level “agent.” In contrast to Claim 1, the agent in Claim
`
`18
`“
`”
`.
`18 expressly performs multiple claim steps, including the “verifying” step. However, the Examiner
`
`n x

`made clear in an Examiner’s amendment that the OS-level agent in Claim 18 (then Claim 20) is n_ot
`
`“

`required to perform the “acting” step because “an agent” was not required to perform that step. Ex. 2
`
`“
