`
`PARTIES’ JOINT MOTION FOR ENTRY OF
`CLAIM CONSTRUCTION WITH REGARD TO CERTAIN SPECIFIED TERMS
`BASED ON ESTABLISHED PRIOR RECORD
`Plaintiff AGIS Software Development LLC (“AGIS” or “Plaintiff”) and Defendants
`
`Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and Samsung Electronics America, Inc. (collectively, “Samsung”
`
`or “Defendants”) (collectively, the “Parties”) have agreed that given the available record in
`
`previous cases involving the patents-at-issue in this case, no additional claim construction briefing
`
`or claim construction hearing addressing certain of the disputed terms would be helpful to the
`
`Court or necessary. The Parties have agreed to rely upon applicable portions of the briefing,
`
`evidence, and hearing transcripts (“Materials”) of the previous claim construction hearings
`
`involving these patents for resolving their dispute concerning the certain terms.
`
`The Parties thus request that applicable portions of the claim construction proceedings be
`
`entered into the record of this case so that each Party may preserve its appellate rights with respect
`
`to the disputed claim terms. The disputed terms and applicable proceeding for each are identified
`
`in Appendix A.
`
`
`
`Case 2:22-cv-00263-JRG-RSP Document 68 Filed 06/16/23 Page 2 of 6 PageID #: 2347
`
`The disputed claim terms and proposed constructions identified in Appendix A in the
`
`above-captioned case were presented to the Court in AGIS Software Development LLC v. Huawei
`
`Device USA Inc., et al., Case No. 2:17-cv-513-JRG-RSP (E.D. Tex.) (Lead Case) (the “Huawei
`
`Case”); AGIS Software Development LLC v. Google LLC, Case No. 2:19-cv-361-JRG (E.D. Tex.)
`
`(Lead Case) (the “Google Case”); and/or AGIS Software Development LLC v. T-Mobile USA, Inc.,
`
`Case No. 2:21-cv-72-JRG-RSP (E.D. Tex. ) (Lead Case) (the “T-Mobile Case”). The Court
`
`considered the parties’ briefing and oral argument in the Huawei Case, Google Case, and T-Mobile
`
`Case and issued claim construction rulings in all three cases (Case No. 2:17-cv-513-JRG-RSP,
`
`Dkt. No. 205, the “Huawei Claim Construction Order”; Case No. 2:19-cv-361-JRG, RSP, Dkt. No.
`
`147, the “Google Claim Construction Order”; Case No. 2:21-cv-72-JRG-RSP, Dkt. No. 213, the
`
`“T-Mobile Claim Construction Order”). For avoidance of any doubt, the Parties maintain their
`
`disputes as to the terms and constructions listed in Appendix A, but rest upon the previous claim
`
`construction record as to those terms, with Samsung presenting and relying on the earlier
`
`defendants’ proposed constructions, briefing and oral argument, and AGIS relying on its positions,
`
`briefing and oral argument in the applicable case for each term. The Parties each agree not to
`
`contend that this joint motion and/or entry of relevant portions of the previous claim construction
`
`record constitutes a waiver or forfeiture of any right to appeal, or of the relevant prior arguments
`
`regarding, the claim construction order ultimately entered in this case.
`
`The Parties thus request that the Court (1) incorporate into the record of this case the
`
`portions of the claim construction record in the Huawei Case, Google Case, and the T-Mobile Case
`
`(including briefing, related exhibits and attachments, and hearing transcripts) insofar as each
`
`relates to the terms as identified in Appendix A and (2) issue its claim constructions for these
`
`identified terms based thereon. Each Party retains the right to appeal any otherwise-appealable
`
`
`
`Case 2:22-cv-00263-JRG-RSP Document 68 Filed 06/16/23 Page 3 of 6 PageID #: 2348
`
`construction entered by the Court in this action. Specifically, the Parties request that at least the
`
`following documents on file with the Court, as identified by PACER Docket Report dated June 5,
`
`2023 (attached as Exhibits A, B, and C), and their accompanying exhibits and attachments, be
`
`incorporated into the record in the present case as to the terms identified in Appendix A:

`
`Hearing, Exhibit D-15.
`
`The above documents are compiled in Exhibits D-1 through D-15.

`
`action as to the terms and proposed constructions identified in Appendix A. The Parties hereby
`
`respectfully request that the Court rule that the Parties can rely on the claim construction record in
`
`Exhibit D for the terms and proposed constructions as identified in Appendix A and decide
`
`constructions for these terms based on that record.
`
`In the event of any appeal, the Parties stipulate to include relevant copies of the above-
`
`listed documents and any accompanying exhibits, attachments, and arguments in the appellate
`
`record as if litigated in the present case. The Parties have agreed to forego the September 1, 2023
`
`Claim Construction Hearing as to the terms identified in Appendix A without waiving their
`
`substantive positions or the right to appeal any otherwise-appealable construction entered by the
`
`Court in this action.
`
`Accordingly, the Parties believe that there is good cause for the Court to grant the Parties’
`
`Joint Motion.
