`1 The parties have not listed claims that are dependent on the claims listed in this column. Additionally, the parties have not listed
`disputed terms for claims 4, 5, 6-8, 10, and 12 of the ’161 patent because Molo has withdrawn those claims and dismissed with
`prejudice all infringement allegations based on those claims.
`2 Chanel added the reference to Exhibit 3, pages 24-27. Molo does not agree that these pages are relevant as they do not relate to the
`’366 Patent.
