`Civil Action No. 6:21-CV-460-ADA
`
`Jury Trial Demanded
`
`JOINT CLAIM CONSTRUCTION STATEMENT
`
`In accordance with the Court’s Standing Order Governing Proceedings – Patent Cases
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`(Version 3.5.1) and the Scheduling Order in this case, the parties in the above-captioned action
`
`submit this Joint Claim Construction Statement.
`
`I.
`
`The Parties’ Disputes
`
`There are two disputes between the parties. The first dispute involves whether certain terms
`
`are subject to 35 U.S.C. § 112, ¶ 6 and/or are indefinite. Defendant Apple Inc. (“Apple”) submits
`
`that those terms are subject to 35 U.S.C. § 112, ¶ 6 and/or are indefinite. Plaintiff Identity Security
`
`LLC (“ISLLC”) submits that those terms are not subject to 35 U.S.C. § 112, ¶ 6, are not indefinite,
`
`and do not require construction beyond their “plain and ordinary meaning.” The second dispute
`
`involves terms that recite a “microprocessor identity.” Apple proposes constructions for those
`
`terms. ISLLC proposes that those terms do not require construction beyond their “plain and
`
`ordinary meaning.”
`
`A. Whether Certain Terms Are Subject to § 112, ¶ 6 and/or Are Indefinite.
