Event Proposed Date 

Parties exchange phrases for claim construction. January 31, 2007 

Parties exchange proposed constructions. February 16, 2007 

Parties file a Joint Claim Construction Statement pursuant to 

Patent Local Rule 4-3. 

February 21, 2007 

Panasonic files its opening claim construction brief. February 28, 2007 

Tutorial (as specified in ¶ 5 of Court’s Case Management 

Order). 

March 12, 2007 at 1:30 p.m. 

Defendants file their claim construction brief. March 14, 2007 

Panasonic files its reply claim construction brief. March 21, 2007 

Claim Construction Hearing. April 4, 2007 at 1:30 p.m. 

CMC notes that it intends to propose modifications to the foregoing claim 

construction schedule in light of the patent infringement counterclaim it seeks to add to the case 

through its Motion for Leave to Amend the Answer and Counterclaims. Modification of the 

foregoing schedule to account for the added counterclaim will enable the Court to conduct a 

single set of claim construction proceedings for all the patents at issue. If the Court grants the 

motion and CMC seeks to modify this proposed schedule, Panasonic may oppose CMC’s request, 

because its claims against the defendants should not be delayed unduly by this proposed 

counterclaim.
