`
`JOINT NOTICE OF SUPPLEMENTAL
`CLAIM CONSTRUCTION DISPUTES
`In accordance with the Court’s Order of August 24, 2023 (Dkt. No. 115), Plaintiff AGIS
`
`Software Development LLC (“Plaintiff” or “AGIS”) and Defendants Samsung Electronics Co.,
`
`Ltd. and Samsung Electronics America, Inc. (collectively “Defendants” or “Samsung”) hereby
`
`submit this Joint Notice of Supplemental Claim Construction Disputes. The parties met and
`
`conferred for the purposes of narrowing the issues and finalizing preparation of this joint notice.
`
`The parties have identified two additional claim construction disputes.
`
`First, the parties have identified for further construction the term “group” in the ’838, ’829,
`
`’123 patents. Specifically, within the agreed construction of the term “group” to mean “more than
`
`two participants associated together,” Defendants request a clarification that “participants” in the
`
`construction means “users.” Plaintiff intends to request a clarification that the construction term
`
`“participants” comprises devices and is not limited to users.
`
`Second, Defendants have identified for construction the term “participants” in the ’970
`
`
`
`Case 2:22-cv-00263-JRG-RSP Document 120 Filed 09/05/23 Page 2 of 5 PageID #: 9436
`
`Patent. Specifically, Defendants propose construing the term “participants” as “users,” consistent
`
`with the term’s plain and ordinary meaning. Plaintiff intends to propose that the term
`
`“participants” receive its plain and ordinary meaning and that the plain and ordinary meaning of
`
`“participants” comprises devices.
`
`To address these additional disputes prior to the claim construction hearing set for
`
`November 3, 2023, the parties have agreed to the following schedule of supplemental proceedings.

`
`Construction and Prehearing Statement (Dkt. 67), as to the two new disputed terms.
