The Court reviews the Special Master's order de nova as to factual findings and legal conclusions, and for abuse of discretion as to procedural matters.

A document will be granted protection from disclosure if the court finds that the "primary" purpose behind its creation was to aid in possible future litigation.

I accordingly overrule Plaintiffs objection to the Special Master's Order on the ground that the communications are non-discoverable attorney work product.

Furthermore, the Special Master explained that the "documents were provided before any agreement was reached between Plaintiff and Hamilton Capital, and before any litigation was filed."

Plaintiff, on the other hand, argues that the communications are "irrelevant to the limited scope of discovery permitted by the Court" in a past Order.

Defendants point out that Dr. Medvidovic’s declaration stated that he had been retained by Accleration Bay to conduct a pre-filing expert analysis of its infringement claims.

P. 26(b)(4), as it is not a “draft of a report ultimately submitted in the litigation”, and work product protection under this Rule does not extend to materials prepared by or for a testifying expert.

Defendants’ request on December 18, 2017 also argues that a recent decision, subsequent to Special Master Order No. 13, supports Defendants’ argument that Dr. Medvidovic’s analysis

Acceleration Bay’s response to Defendants request of December 18, 2017 argues that Dr. Medvidovic’s analysis is work product and need not be produced under the above cited Rule 26.

Thus, according to Plaintiff, Dr. Medvidovic’s pre-filing analysis is covered by the Protective Order in this case which precludes from discovery any conversation or communication between counsel

The Court, having considered the parties' briefing on claim construction (D.I.

'634119, "each of the broadcast channels" "computers that are equally able to send and receive information" Preamble is limiting.

The Court is, nevertheless, concerned that Plaintiffs national counsel cannot be relied upon for "candor to the tribunal."

On February 11, 2016, counsel wrote to the Court, in connection with a discovery dispute, "Acceleration Bay has already represented that there have been no exchanges of diligence information regarding the Asserted Patents between Acceleration Bay and Hamilton Capital or Boeing."

"Acceleration Bay already produced the limited documents that its counsel provided to Hamilton Capital in connection with due diligence."

In the Court's experience, any honest patent lawyer would agree that whether a preamble is limiting is classic claim construction.

It does not take a term off the table to say that we can continue to dispute whether it is limiting, and it also makes no sense to go through a lengthy hearing and never revisit terms 24 and 25 if counsel honestly thought its limiting status remained in dispute.

Extrinsic evidence may assist the court in understanding the underlying technology, the meaning of terms to one skilled in the art, and how the invention works.

r Accordingly, in light of the intrinsic evidence, it would be clear to a person of ordinary skill in the art that "network" refers to a "broadcast channel."

Term 24: "A non-routing table based computer readable medium containing instructions for controlling communications of a participant of a broadcast channel within a network" ('634/19) a. Plaintiff's proposed construction: Not indefinite and covers patent eligible subject matter.

Accordingly, given that the parties agree that "non-routing table based computer-readable medium" is "nonsensical," claim 19 of the '634 patent "fail[s] to inform, with reasonable certainty, those skilled in the art about the scope of the invention."

Third, Defendants argue that Plaintiffs "continued ... advance[ ment o:fJ new interpretations of 'routing table's' meaning in the IPRs to distinguish other prior art" renders term 25 indefinite.

Re: Acceleration Bay LLC v. Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc., et al. C.A.

Attached is plaintiff’s first Rule 30(b)(6) notice served in March 2017.

Each of the first 14 topics includes “testing” of or related to the Accused Products.

JBB/bac Attachment cc: Clerk of the Court (via hand delivery; w/attachment) All Counsel of Record (via electronic mail; w/attachment)

No. 16-455 (RGA) Dear Judge Andrews: We write on behalf of Defendants in response to the Court’s request during yesterday’s summary judgment hearing for authority supporting the grant of summary judgment where the patentee had initially accused certain products but later dropped those accusations.

In Intellectual Ventures I, LLC v. Canon Inc., the patentee’s expert “did not include in his expert report numerous products listed in [the patentee’s] infringement contentions,” and the defendant sought “summary judgment of non-infringement with respect to such ‘omitted’ products.” 143 F. Supp.

It is undisputed that the no-longer-accused game modes do not infringe for at least the reasons explained in Defendants’ motion for summary judgment.

Defendants therefore request the Court dismiss with prejudice the game modes of NBA2K that Plaintiff no longer contends infringe the asserted claims.
