`
`SUPPLEMENTAL CLAIM CONSTRUCTION ORDER
`
`Case No. 2:19-cv-00396-JRG
`
`Case No. 2:19-cv-00395-JRG
`
`Before the Court are three motions regarding claim construction issues. The first motion is
`
`the Request for Clarification / Objections to Magistrate Judge Payne’s Claim Construction Order
`
`(“Clarification Request”) filed by Plaintiff Bright Data Ltd., formerly Luminati Networks Ltd.
`
`(“Plaintiff”) in Case No. 2:19-cv-00396-JRG (“Code200 Action”). Dkt. No. 102. Plaintiff’s
`
`Clarification Request seeks clarification and revision of the Claim Construction Order (Code200
`
`Action, Dkt. No. 97) as to two construed terms: (1) U.S. Patent No. 10,484,511 (the “’511 Patent”)
`
`claim 1 regarding “sending . . . the first content identifier to the web server using the selected IP
`
`address”; and (2) ‘511 Patent claim 25 regarding “source address.” Id. at 4–8.
`
`The second motion is the Motion for Hearing Regarding O2 Micro Issue (“Motion for
`
`Hearing”) filed by Defendants Code200, UAB, Oxysales, UAB, and Metacluster LT, UAB
`
`(collectively, “Code200 Defendants”) in the Code200 Action and by Defendants Teso LT, UAB,
`
`Oxysales, UAB, and Metacluster LT, UAB (collectively, “Teso Defendants”) (collectively,
`
`“Defendants”) in Case No. 2:19-cv-00395-JRG (“Teso Action”). Code200 Action, Dkt. No. 234;
`
`Teso Action, Dkt. No. 444. Defendants’ Motion for Hearing asserts that Plaintiff’s rebuttal

`
`validity expert report takes a position as to the claim scope of “server” that requires the Court’s
`
`intervention and requests four alleged clarifications that revise the Court’s existing claim
`
`constructions for the terms “first server” and “second server” in certain patents. Id. at 1–2.
`
`On April 20, 2021, the Court granted an unopposed motion for leave to supplement briefing
`
`on Plaintiff’s Clarification Request. Code200 Action, Dkt. No. 143. Accordingly, Plaintiff’s
`
`Clarification Request briefing includes Code200 Defendants’ Response (Code200 Action, Dkt.
`
`No. 110), Plaintiff’s Reply (Code200 Action, Dkt. No. 163), and Defendants’ Sur-Reply (Code200
`
`Action, Dkt. No. 179).
`
`I.
`
`“Source Address”
`
`During claim construction, Plaintiff proposed the term “source address” be construed to
`
`have its plain and ordinary meaning while Code200 Defendants sought a finding of indefiniteness.
`
`Code200 Action, Dkt. No. 97 at 23. The Court construed “source address” to mean “address of the
`
`web server.” Id. at 27. Plaintiff seeks to “clarify” that “source address” refers to “the IP address of
`
`the sender of a communication” and “not the IP address of the web server.” Code200 Action, Dkt.
`
`No. 102 at 6.
`
`Plaintiff argues, as it asserts it did at oral argument, that the plain meaning of “source
`
`address” to a POSA is the sender’s IP address. Id. at 4. Plaintiff notes that the specification never
`
`uses “source address” to refer to content and that “[r]ather, the two uses of ‘source’ cited in the
`
`Order (‘source program’ and ‘sources’ of content) are not used in the context of addresses.” Id. at
`
`4–5. Plaintiff then discusses the HTTP protocol and TCP/IP protocol, arguing that the “source
`
`address” is the address of the sender as opposed to the “destination address,” which Plaintiff asserts
`
`is the address of the web server. Id. at 5. Plaintiff continues, “[w]hile a web server sometimes is
`
`the source of a communication, it is never the source of the claimed step of ‘sending [a content

`

`

`Case 2:19-cv-00395-JRG Document 453 Filed 08/06/21 Page 3 of 12 PageID #: 24349
`
`request] to the web server’ because in that situation the web server is the destination, not the
`
`source.” Id. at 6.
`
`Code200 Defendants respond that this is not a clarification request, but rather a request that
`
`the Court change the construction to the opposite of what it found so that “source” refers to the IP
`
`address of the “sender” of a communication rather than the IP address of the source of the content,
`
`i.e., the web server. Code200 Action, Dkt. No. 110 at 1. Code200 Defendants are correct.
`
`Code200 Defendants argue that Plaintiff asserts that it argued to the Court that “source
`
`address” must be “the sender’s IP address,” but that the Court’s Claim Construction Order
`
`demonstrated that Plaintiff argued at claim construction that “source address” has a “plain and
`
`ordinary meaning” and that “source address” refers to an “IP address associated with a source.”
`
`Id. at 2 (citing Dkt. No. 97 at 23). The Claim Construction Order identified Plaintiff’s proposed
`
`construction of “source address” as “plain and ordinary meaning,” and stated, “Plaintiff submits:
`
`The ‘source address’ refers to an ‘IP address associated with a source.’” Code200 Action, Dkt. No.
`
`97 at 23 (citing Code200 Action, Dkt. No. 86 at 26–27 (“In Dr. Rhyne’s opinion: ‘[A] POSA
`
`would understand the source address as referring to an IP address associated with a source . . .’”)
`
`(quoting Code200 Action, Dkt. No. 86-3)).
`
`With respect to Plaintiff’s note that the specification never uses “source address” to refer
`
`to content, Code200 Defendants respond that the phrase “source address” is never used in the
`
`patent written description. See Code200 Action, Dkt. No. 110 at 2. Code200 Defendants continue,
`
`arguing that Plaintiff’s argument regarding HTTP and TCP/IP misses that the specification does
`
`not ever point to HTTP or TCP/IP for a definition of “source address.” Id. Code200 Defendants
`
`argue that Plaintiff has no basis to contest the Court’s explanation as to why “source address” is
`
`limited to the address of the source of content. Code200 Action, Dkt. No. 110 at 3.

`Code200, UAB v. Bright Data Ltd.

`
`

`

`Case 2:19-cv-00395-JRG Document 453 Filed 08/06/21 Page 4 of 12 PageID #: 24350
`
`As Code200 Defendants pointed out, Plaintiff’s argument that the specification never uses
`
`“source address” to refer to content falls flat because the specification never uses the term “source
`
`address” at all. See Code200 Action, Dkt. No. 110 (citing Code200 Action, Dkt. No. 88 at 17
`
`(citing Code200 Action, Dkt. No. 88-1 at ¶¶ 78–84)); see also Code200 Action, Dkt. No. 86-1 at
`
`1–29. Accordingly, what must be understood is what a “source” is.
`
`The Court’s Claim Construction Order previously explained that the ’511 Patent’s
`
`specification “suggests that ‘source’ is used to refer to a content source rather than a
`
`communication source.” Code200 Action, Dkt. No. 97 at 25 (emphasis added). As the Court
`
`previously stated, “ultimately, when read in the context of the entire specification, including the
`
`complete claim set and the description of the invention, the scope of ‘source address’ is reasonably
`
`limited to the address of the source of content, which in Claim 1 is the web server.” Id. at 26 (citing
`
`Phillips v. AWH Corp., 415 F.3d 1303, 1316 (Fed. Cir. 2005); Trs. of Columbia Univ. v. Symantec
`
`Corp., 811 F.3d 1359, 1363 (Fed. Cir. 2016)) (emphasis added).
`
`Plaintiff requested additional briefing on their Clarification Request. That briefing pointed
`
`to Dr. Freedman’s December 31, 20201 declaration in which Dr. Freeman opined that a POSA
`
`would not understand what “source address” means in the context of claim 25 of the ’511 Patent
`
`but then testified in his March 22, 2021 deposition that “source address” is a term of art that refers
`
`to the “sender address” rather than a “destination address.” Code200 Action, Dkt. No. 163 at 2–4.
`
`Plaintiff argues “[t]he above conflicting testimony is material to the Court’s Claim Construction
`
`Order as the Court cited Code200 Defendants’ argument that the ‘source address’ could refer to
`
`the ‘source of content’ . . . .” Id. at 4 (citing Code200 Action, Dkt. No. 97 at 24–27).
`
`1 Plaintiffs state that “[h]ere, Dr. Freedman provided a December 31, 2021 declaration . . . .” Dkt. No. 163 at 2. The
`Court interprets this as a typographic error for December 31, 2020.
`
`Code200, UAB v. Bright Data Ltd.
`Code200's Exhibit 1020
`Page 4 of 12
`
`

`

`Case 2:19-cv-00395-JRG Document 453 Filed 08/06/21 Page 5 of 12 PageID #: 24351
`
`Code200 Defendants respond that while Plaintiff quotes Dr. Freedman’s opinion in
`
`paragraphs 80-81 that “source address” could refer to the source of content, Plaintiff omits
`
`paragraph 82, where “Dr. Freedman opined that ‘source address’ could alternatively refer to the
`
`source of the request (i.e., sender) rather than the source of content.” Code200 Action, Dkt. No.
`
`179 at 3 (citations omitted). Paragraph 82 of Dr. Freedman’s declaration indeed provides,
`
`“[a]lternatively, the patentees could be using ‘source’ to refer to the source of the content request
`
`that is sent to the web server . . . .” Code200 Action, Dkt. No. 163-2 at ¶ 82.
`
`This is additional evidence that “source address” may be used in the art to denote a sending
`
`address. However, that the source address may be a sending address was never in dispute, and the
`
`new evidence does not restrict “source address” to sending address in the art such that it could
`
`mean only sending address in the patent. Ultimately, Plaintiff provides no new information and
`
`merely rehashes arguments already resolved and explained by the Claim Construction Order.
`
`Accordingly, the Court denies Plaintiff’s request to revise the construction of “source address.”
`
`As the Court previously found, “ultimately, when read in the context of the entire
`
`specification, including the complete claim set and the description of the invention, the scope of
`
`‘source address’ is reasonably limited to the address of the source of content, which in Claim 1 is
`
`the web server.” Id. at 26 (internal citations omitted). The Court retains its previous construction
`
`that “source address” means “address of the web server.” See Code200 Action, Dkt. No. 97 at 27.
`
`II.
`
`“Sending . . .”
`
`Plaintiff seeks clarification and revision of the construction of the ’511 Patent claim 1 term
`
`“sending . . . the first content identifier to the web server using the selected IP address.” Code200
`
`Action, Dkt. No. 102 at 6. The Court construed this term to mean “sending . . . the first content
`
`Code200, UAB v. Bright Data Ltd.
`Code200's Exhibit 1020
`Page 5 of 12
`
`

`

`Case 2:19-cv-00395-JRG Document 453 Filed 08/06/21 Page 6 of 12 PageID #: 24352
`
`identifier to the web server using the selected IP address as either the address of the first server or
`
`of the web server.” Code200 Action, Dkt. No. 97 at 19.
`
`Plaintiff asserts two problems with this construction: (1) the phrase “or of the web server”
`
`should be deleted because the “source address” would never be the web server because the
`
`communication is sent “to the web server” and (2) the Order appears to inadvertently omit
`
`intermediaries from IP addresses that can be used for sending. Code200 Action, Dkt. No. 102 at
`
`7. Plaintiff’s objection “requests that the Court clarify that the construction does not exclude
`
`intermediaries such as the ‘client device’ of claims 2–5.” Id. at 8.
`
`With respect to Plaintiff’s argument that the phrase “or of the web server” should be deleted
`
`because the “source address” would never be the web server, neither the claims nor the description
`
`of the invention exclude the address of the “web server” as the selected IP address. As Code200
`
`Defendants note, Plaintiff points to the “incorrect construction” of “source address” as allegedly
`
`causing the Court to insert “or of the web server” in the construction. See Code200 Action, Dkt.
`
`No. 110 at 4; see also Code200 Action, Dkt. No. 102 at 7. Plaintiff’s argument carries over error
`
`from its rejected “source address” argument. Because the “source address” is the address of the
`
`web server, then the “selected IP address” of claim 1 may be used as the address of the web server.
`
`The Court’s construction is specific to ’511 Patent claim 1. While the Court did state, “the
`
`role played by the IP address used in the sending step, read in light of the entire specification, is
`
`reasonably limited to using the IP address as a sending address or a receiving address (including
`
`intermediaries),” the Court’s statement read the claim in light of the entire specification. See
`
`Code200 Action, Dkt. No. 97 at 17–19. After making this statement, the Court recited Claims 1
`
`through 4 and 25 of the ’511 Patent and stated, “Claims 2 through 5 are directed to using a client
`
`device as an intermediary between the first server and the web server.” Id. at 18. The Court
`
`Code200, UAB v. Bright Data Ltd.
`Code200's Exhibit 1020
`Page 6 of 12
`
`

`

`Case 2:19-cv-00395-JRG Document 453 Filed 08/06/21 Page 7 of 12 PageID #: 24353
`
`continued, “In contrast, Claim 25 uses the selected IP address as an address of a “source” rather
`
`than of an intermediary.” Id.
`
`The Court did not “inadvertently omit intermediaries from IP addresses that can be used
`
`for sending” as Plaintiff’s Clarification Request suggests. See Code200 Action, Dkt. No. 102 at 7.
`
`The Court purposefully did not include the language “including intermediaries” because although
`
`’511 Patent Claims 2–5 are directed to using a client device as an intermediary, Claim 1 and Claim
`
`25 are not, and in fact Claim 25 uses the selected IP address as an address of a “source” rather than
`
`of an intermediary. See Code200 Action, Dkt. No. 97 at 17–18.
`
`The Court clarifies that the Court’s construction does not exclude intermediaries
`
`specifically with respect to ’511 Patent Claims 2–5. Unlike ’511 Patent Claims 1 and 25, “Claims
`
`2 through 5 are directed to using a client device as an intermediary between the first server and the
`
`web server.” See Id. at 18. However, in light of Plaintiff’s Clarification Request and in the interest
`
`of avoiding jury confusion, the Court amends the construction of “sending . . . the first content
`
`identifier to the web server using the selected IP address” to “sending . . . the first content identifier
`
`to the web server using the selected IP address as either a sending address or a receiving address.”
`
`The Court emphasizes that this amendment does not change the scope of the term in any way, but
`
`merely seeks to avoid jury confusion.
`
`III.
`
`“Server” Terms2
`
`Defendants’ Motion for Hearing requests a “clarification” of the Court’s constructions of
`
`“first server” and “second server” and a hearing to address this issue in advance of pretrial
`
`2 Citations in this section are to the Code200 Action unless identified otherwise. The motions in
`the Code200 Action and Teso Action are nearly identical except the Teso Action also urges
`resolution of another motion. That motion will not be addressed in this order.

`“a device that is operating in the role of
`a server and that is not the requesting
`client device or the first web server”
`
`Defendants’ Motion for Hearing merely states that “it became apparent for the first time
`
`based on Bright Data’s rebuttal validity expert report that Bright Data takes a position as to the
`
`claim scope of “server” that requires the Court’s intervention to resolve the parties’ dispute
`
`pursuant to O2 Micro . . . .” Id. at 1.
`
`Plaintiff argues that “while framed as a Motion for Hearing Regarding O2 Micro Issue
`
`(‘Motion’), Defendants are clearly and improperly requesting new claim constructions on the eve
`
`of trial that were already rejected or waived during claim construction.” Dkt. No. 242 at 4.
`
`Plaintiffs note that Defendants did not make these objections in their December 22, 2020
`
`Objections to the Court’s Claim Construction Order in Bright Data Ltd. v. Teso lt UAB et al., 2:19-
`
`cv-00395-JRG (“Teso Action”) or in their February 22, 2021 Objections to this Court’s Claim
`
`Construction Order in the Code200 Action. Code200, Dkt. No. 242 at 4 (citing Teso Action, Dkt.
`
`No. 200; Code200 Action, Dkt. No. 103).
`
`Plaintiff contends that Defendants are seeking broad constructions that treat client devices
`
`and servers interchangeably in contradiction of Defendants’ denial that they were making such an

`Code200, UAB v. Bright Data Ltd.
`Code200's Exhibit 1020

`

`

`Case 2:19-cv-00395-JRG Document 453 Filed 08/06/21 Page 9 of 12 PageID #: 24355
`
`argument as noted by the Court in its construction of “client device” for the ’614 Patent. Id. (citing
`
`Teso Action, Dkt. No. 191 at 15 (“[Defendants] deny that they will claim client devices and servers
`
`are interchangeable general use computers.”).
`
`Plaintiff filed their response on July 6, 2021. Defendants’ reply deadline was July 13, 2021.
`
`Defendants did not file a reply.
`
`The Court’s Claim Construction Order in the Code200 Action stated, “[t]he issue in dispute
`
`appears to be whether one component can simultaneously serve as more than one of: the client
`
`device, the first server/second server, and the web server. It cannot.” Dkt. No. 97 at 13. The Court
`
`found the recited operation of the claims suggests a distinction among these components and that
`
`claim 1 of the ’511 Patent “plainly is directed to a ‘first server’ acting as an intermediary between
`
`the ‘client device’ and ‘second server.’” Id. at 15. Defendants’ requested clarifications for the
`
`Code200 Action server terms do not challenge this but rather ask the Court to define the “server”
`
`in these terms as “a device that is operating in the role of a server” and replace “the client device”
`
`with “the requesting client device.” Dkt. No. 234 at 2. Defendants’ requested clarifications for the
`
`Teso Action “second server” term likewise asks the Court to define the “server” as “a device that
`
`is operating in the role of a server” and replace “the client device” with “the first client device.”
`
`Id. Finally, Defendants’ requested clarifications for the Teso Action “first server” asks the Court
`
`to define the “server” as “a device that is operating in the role of a server by offering information
`
`resources, services, and/or applications.” Id.
`
`Plaintiff points to the Court’s construction of “client device” for the ’614 Patent as
`
`accepting Defendants’ denial that they will claim client devices and servers are interchangeable
`
`general use computers. Dkt. No. 242 at 4 (citing Teso Action, Dkt. No. 191 at 15). With respect to
`
`Code200, UAB v. Bright Data Ltd.
`Code200's Exhibit 1020
`Page 9 of 12
`
`

`

`Case 2:19-cv-00395-JRG Document 453 Filed 08/06/21 Page 10 of 12 PageID #: 24356
`
`this same “client device” term, the Court’s Claim Construction Order “reiterates and adopts the
`
`reasoning and ruling of that order.” Dkt. No. 97 at 13 (citing Teso Action, Dkt. No. 191 at 10–12).
`
`The language “a device that is operating in the role of” is language Defendants urged in
`
`the construction of “client device” in the Teso Action, language originating in the construction
`
`previously adopted by the Court in another case. Teso Action, Dkt. No. 191 at 11 (citing Dkt. No.
`
`138 at 5–6; Id. at 6 n.4). The Court’s Claim Construction Order in the Teso Action states that
`
`“[Plaintiff’s] second argument—that a client device is specifically not a server—is not supported
`
`by the specification.” Id. The Court found “[t]he patents do not include servers as a type of
`
`‘communication device,’ but that is not sufficient to construe ‘client device’ as unable to act as a
`
`server in all cases.” Id. at 12.
`
`Plaintiff’s argument
`
`that Defendant seeks
`
`to
`
`treat client devices and servers
`
`interchangeably, citing to the Court’s statement that “[Defendants] deny that they will claim client
`
`devices and servers are interchangeable general user computers” is an oversimplification of the
`
`issue. It is not that Defendants seek to “reduc[e] the recited server ↔ client device ↔ web server
`
`architecture . . . and the recited client device ↔ server ↔ web server architecture . . . as an
`
`indistinguishable computer ↔ computer ↔ computer architecture” as Plaintiffs argue. See Dkt.
`
`No. 242 at 4. Rather, a component can be configured to operate in different roles—so long as it
`
`does not “simultaneously serve as more than one of: the client device, the first server/second
`
`server, and the web server.” See Dkt. No. 97 at 13.
`
`The Court’s Claim Construction Order in the Code200 Action stated, “[t]he issue in dispute
`
`appears to be whether one component can simultaneously serve as more than one of: the client
`
`device, the first server/second server, and the web server. It cannot.” Dkt. No. 97 at 13. Consistent
`
`with this, the Court construed in the Teso Action “client device” in the ’614 Patent as “device

`

`

`Case 2:19-cv-00395-JRG Document 453 Filed 08/06/21 Page 11 of 12 PageID #: 24357
`
`operating in the role of a client by requesting services, functionalities, or resources from the
`
`server.” Teso Action, Dkt. No. 191 at 15.
`
`The Court’s Claim Construction Order in the Teso Action discussed this issue in detail with
`
`respect to whether the second server must be a distinct device from the client device and the web
`
`server. Teso Action, Dkt. No. 191 at 13–14. The Court stated that “[n]othing in the intrinsic record
`
`suggests one device cannot perform both the role of a web server and a second server. To construe
`
`the claim in such a way would improperly import a limitation into the claim language.” Id. at 14.
`
`Defendants’ Motion for Hearing requests clarifications for the server terms but presents
`
`them as new constructions. The Court finds that the clarifications Defendants seek are not
`
`inconsistent with the Court’s previous findings about the nature of the client device, web server,
`
`first server and second server. Said previous findings have already been stated with respect to the
`
`constructions as they stand. Accordingly, the Court clarifies that Defendants’ understanding of the
`
`scope of the constructions, as represented by the requested clarifications in Defendants’ Motion
`
`for Hearing, is correct. The Court is not changing the construction of “first server” and “second
`
`server,” as this understanding is already embedded in those terms’ construction. Further, the Court
`
`is not now changing the scope of the terms in any way, but merely providing a clarification of the
`
`scope of the terms as they stand.
`
