`
`
`Charter Communications, Inc. (“Charter”) hereby provides and/or confirms its written
`
`notice pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 282(c) of the patents, publications, and persons that it may rely
`
`upon to demonstrate anticipation, obviousness, and/or to describe the state of the art with respect
`
`to U.S. Patent Nos. 8,356,251; 11,048,751; and 11,086,934.
`
`Charter has already provided notice of the identity of certain patents, publications, and
`
`persons within the ambit of § 282, through its pleadings, correspondence, and other documents in
`
`this case, including, but not limited to, its initial and supplemental invalidity contentions and
`
`materials cited therein, its expert witness reports and materials cited therein, its expert witness
`
`testimony, and its pretrial filings including, but not limited to, Charter’s Trial Witness List and the
`
`parties’ Joint Trial Exhibit List. Charter expressly incorporates by reference herein all of those
`
`documents, as well as the patents, publications, and identification of persons within the ambit of §
`
`282(c) cited therein.
`
`In addition to the foregoing, for the sake of clarity, Charter provides the following list of
`
`patents, publications, and persons. The identification of a patent, publication, or person below or
`
`in Charter’s prior notices is not a representation that Charter will use all of these references and/or
`
`persons in its presentation of evidence at trial, which of course may change after Charter has
`
`considered Touchstream Technologies, Inc’s (“Touchstream”) trial presentation. Nor should any
`
`implication arise from the list that all of the identified references and/or persons are necessary for,
`
`or important to, Charter’s defenses and counterclaims. Charter reserves the right to rely on any
`
`reference and/or person identified in one of Charter’s prior notices described above, including in
`
`the Trial Witness List and/or Joint Trial Exhibit List, as well as any other reference and/or person
`
`which was or is produced in response to the parties’ discovery requests or to satisfy Charter’s
`
`obligations under the Court’s Patent Rules, whether or not included in the lists below. Charter
