`
`Plaintiff Ancora Technologies and defendant TCT Mobile (US) Inc.,
`
`Huizhou TCL Mobile Communications Co., Ltd., and Shenzhen TCL Creative
`Cloud Technology Co., Ltd. submit this Joint Claim Construction and Prehearing
`Statement.
`Attached hereto as Exhibit A is a table setting forth the claim terms/phrases
`for which the parties have agreed on construction.
`Attached hereto as Exhibit B is a table setting forth the claim terms/phrases
`that are disputed and therefore request that the Court construe, along with the
`intrinsic and extrinsic evidence on which the parties currently intend to rely upon.
`The parties have narrowed the terms in dispute to the seven terms that the
`parties believe will be most significant to this case, in accordance with the Court’s
`Scheduling Order (Dkt. No. 34). Subject to further investigation by the parties, only
`the five terms impacting independent claim 1 have the potential to be case
`dispositive.
`The parties anticipate that the length of time necessary for the Claim
`Construction Hearing will be two hours.
`Neither party proposes to call any live witnesses at the Claim Construction
`Hearing.
`Neither party requests specific factual findings from the Court outside of the
`Claim Construction decision.
