` 
`Dear Judge Jackson Chambers, 
` 
`Defendants’ first issue is, regrettably, an inaccurate and incomplete version of the facts. Realtime has made several 
`proposals to narrow this case for trial. In the evening after the pretrial conference, Realtime offered to limit to five 
`claims if Defendants would limit its invalidity defenses and prior art references, consistent with the discussion at the 
`hearing. Hr. Tr. at 16:22‐17:1 (“plaintiff may be willing to limit the number of asserted claims to five or less given a 
`corresponding limit in prior references or possible defenses from defendants”). 
` 
`Defendants declined our offer, as well as a subsequent compromise offer involving no reduction in Defendants’ other 
`invalidity defenses. 
` 
`Late Wednesday evening, Defendants made a new proposal for mutual narrowing. Realtime has been discussing this 
`latest proposal internally and expects to respond today. Realtime believes the parties may be able to reach agreement, 
`so this issue is not ripe for Court intervention. 
` 
`Thank you, 
`

`Dear Chambers of Judge Jackson: 
`
` 
`Defendants in the above-captioned case seek the Court’s guidance on two issues ahead of the
`upcoming August 6, 2021 bench trial: 
`  
`
` Asserted Claims: Despite multiple meet and confers, Plaintiff has not reduced the
`asserted patent claims as it promised at the pre-trial conference on July 16. In an attempt
`to induce Plaintiff to be reasonable, Defendants agreed to narrow their prior art case to no
`more than 2 prior art combinations per asserted claim (having already reduced the prior
`art references by approximately 80%), once Plaintiff makes its claim election. Despite

`
`this commitment, Plaintiff still has not narrowed the case in any way. We are now ten
`business days before trial. Plaintiff certainly knows which patent claim it intends to
`present to the jury. Only Defendants and the Court is still in the dark. Plaintiff’s refusal
`to be forthcoming results in wasteful expense of judicial and party resources as
`Defendants and the Court are forced by the Plaintiff to prepare for claims that will not be
`presented. We ask for the Court’s guidance on this issue.  
`  
` Briefing and Logistics: If acceptable to the Court, the parties have agreed to file briefs
`related to the bench trial on August 2 (Defendants) and August 4 (Plaintiff), with a
`potential reply brief by Defendants if warranted. Defendants continue to coordinate with
`their witnesses regarding the bench trial; however, due to an illness of a close family
`member, at least one of our witnesses may need to attend by electronic video conference,
`if the Court is amenable.  
`
`
` 
`Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. 
`
` 
`Respectfully submitted, 
`
` 
`Daniel Tishman
