`The Internet is known to host various forms of in-demand digital

`updated news in place of a user’s more conventional screensaver” and included

`
`review proceeding, the terms appearing in the patent claims should be interpreted
`
`according to their “broadest reasonable construction in light of the specification of
`
`the patent in which it appears.” 37 C.F.R. § 42.100(b). In that regard, I understand

`
`
`ADDITIONAL REMARKS
`
`180. I currently hold the opinions set expressed in this declaration. My
`
`analysis may continue, however, and I may acquire additional information and/or
`
`attain supplemental insights that may result in added observations and opinions.

`181. I declare that all statements made herein of my own knowledge are
`
`true and that all statements made on information and belief are believed to be true.

`
`INTERPRETATIONS OF THE ’545 PATENT CLAIMS AT ISSUE
`

`
`I understand that, for purposes of my analysis in this inter partes

`
`INTERPRETATIONS OF THE ’407 PATENT CLAIMS AT ISSUE
`
`26.
`
`I understand that, for purposes of my analysis in this inter partes
`
`review proceeding, the terms appearing in the patent claims should be interpreted
`
`according to their “broadest reasonable construction in light of the specification of
`
`the patent in which it appears.” 37 C.F.R. § 42.100(b). In that regard, I understand
`
`that the best indicator of claim meaning is its usage in the context of the patent
`
`specification as understood by a POSITA. I further understand that the words of
`
`the claims should be given their plain meaning unless that meaning is inconsistent
`
`with the patent specification or the patent’s history of examination before the
`
`Patent Office. I also understand that the words of the claims should be interpreted
`
`as they would have been interpreted by a POSITA at the time of the invention was
`
`made (not today). Because I do not know at what date the invention as claimed
`
`was made, I have used the earliest priority date of U.S. Patent No. 8,510,407 as the
`
`point in time for claim interpretation purposes. That date was April 26, 1999.
`
`27.
`
`I understand that the following terms should be interpreted as follows:
`
`“networked information monitor” (“NIM”)
`
`28.
`
`I understand that for the purposes of the present proceeding, this term,
`
`which appears in claims 1, 11, 13, and 23, should be construed to mean “a fully
