`
`that's good. Again, I've had these papers on my desk for about
`an hour and a half, so I'm doing a quick look at them.
`My understanding also is that basically the claim
`construction has been done, and he basically found that the words
`that are at issue or the claims that are at issue use language
`that is pretty much plain English and doesn't need any kind of
`special construing by the Court. So, as I understand it, that's
`the law of the case, correct?
`MR. GRANT: That's correct. He also ruled that there were
`no disclaimers, but you're correct, Your Honor, he basically said
`it was plain meaning without disclaimers.
`THE COURT: All right. And, Mr. Molster, you agree with
`that?
`MR. MOLSTER: Your Honor, I do agree that he -- the plain
`and ordinary meaning for everything. Now that you're the new
`presiding judge, I'm not sure at all that it's the law of the
`case. I think you're free to do whatever you would like to do,
`but we think -- I do agree that what Judge O'Grady said was that
`it's the plain and ordinary meaning.
`THE COURT: I'm not going to undo anything that Judge
`O'Grady has done. So, whatever he has done, as far as I'm
`concerned, is the law of the case, and I'm just going to be the
`judge that's going to try the case.
`MR. MOLSTER: Understood.
`THE COURT: I'll just try the case.
