`
`The Asserted Claims Of The Patents-In-Suit Are Not Entitled to AGIS’s
`Alleged Priority Dates
`
`In its infringement contentions, AGIS contends that each of the asserted claims of the
`
`Patents-in-Suit are entitled to a priority date of “at least as early as September 21, 2004,” and that
`
`“AGIS reserves the right to establish an earlier date of invention based upon actions related to

`
`Third, as set forth below, the application on which AGIS appears to rely to establish a
`
`priority date of September 21, 2004 (U.S. Application No. 10/711,490, filed on Sep. 21, 2004,
`
`now U.S. Patent No. 7,031,728) does not contain sufficient disclosure of at least one limitation of
`

`entitled to the benefit of the September 21, 2004, filing date for that additional reason.

`
`’970 patent
`
`None of the asserted claims of the ’970 patent are entitled to a priority date of (or earlier
`
`than) September 21, 2004, as AGIS alleges, because at least the claim limitations listed below
`
`are not sufficiently disclosed in U.S. Application No. 10/711,490 (now U.S. Patent No.
