`DEFENDANT FITBIT LLC’S MOTION FOR THE CONSTRUCTION
`OF THREE RELATED CLAIM TERMS
`
`Pursuant to District of Massachusetts Local Rule 7.1 and as discussed during the Court’s
`
`December 15, 2021 status conference in the above-captioned proceeding, Defendant Fitbit LLC
`
`(“Fitbit”) respectfully requests that the Court construe three related claim terms appearing in U.S.
`
`Patent No. 8,277,377 (the “’377 patent”) and conduct necessary additional claim construction
`
`proceedings to enable that construction, including permitting the parties to submit additional claim
`
`construction briefing regarding the meaning of the three related claim terms at issue. Specifically,
`
`Fitbit requests that:
`
`
`
` The Court construe the related claim terms “a remote server,” “an internet server,”
`and “the server” (the “disputed server terms”), which appear in elements 1.a, 1.g,
`and 1.h of the ’377 patent.
`
` At the Court’s discretion, the Court hold a supplemental Markman hearing limited
`to the proper construction of the disputed server terms.
`
` The Court set a briefing schedule requiring the parties to submit simultaneous
`opening briefs of no more than ten (10) pages, followed by simultaneous responsive
`briefs of no more than five (5) pages one week later. The briefing shall be limited
`to the proper construction of the disputed server terms.
