UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
`WESTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS
`WACO DIVISION
`
`PARKERVISION, INC.,
`
`vs.
`
`INTEL CORPORATION,
`
`Plaintiff,
`
`Defendant.
`
` Civil Action No. 6:20-cv-00108-ADA
`
` JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
`
`DEFENDANT INTEL CORPORATION’S PROPOSED CLAIM CONSTRUCTIONS
`
`Pursuant to the October 8, 2020 Amended Scheduling Order entered in this case, D.I. 48
`
`at 1, Defendant Intel Corporation (“Intel”) hereby discloses its proposed claim constructions to
`
`Plaintiff ParkerVision, Inc. (“ParkerVision”).
`
`Intel proposes claim constructions from the following asserted patents: U.S. Patent Nos.
`
`6,266,518 (“’518 patent”); 6,580,902 (“’902 patent”); 7,110,444 (“’444 patent”); 7,539,474 (“’474
`
`patent”); 8,588,725 (“’725 patent”); 8,660,513 (“’513 patent”); 9,118,528 (“’528 patent”);
`
`9,246,736 (“’736 patent”) and 9,444,673 (“’673 patent”) (collectively, the “Asserted Patents”).
`
`Intel reserves the right, consistent with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Local Rules
`
`of this Court, as well as any other applicable rule, to revise its proposed constructions, as well as
`
`its list of proposed claim terms, in view of ParkerVision’s proposed claim constructions, including
`
`the right to adopt any claim terms or constructions proposed by ParkerVision, and the right to add
`
`additional terms if, in view of ParkerVision’s infringement allegations, the parties have further
`
`disputes regarding claim scope. See O2 Micro Int’l Ltd. v. Beyond Innovation Tech. Co., 521 F.3d
`
`1351, 1360 (Fed. Cir. 2008).
