January 22, 2007 - Mutual exchange of each party's proposed construction of all 

terms exchanged by both parties, by hard copy via Federal Express Priority

determine the construction of those terms on which the parties agree.

January 29, 2007 - Mutual exchange of the parties’ contentions of the disputed

the Court's December 5, 2006 Order, by hard copy via Federal Express Priority

"final" positions. 

February 8, 2007 – February 9, 2007 - Assembly, circulation for approval and 

filing of the Joint Claim Construction Statement.

Defendant Xtek, Inc. (“Xtek”) is concerned that if plaintiff SMS Demag AG (“SMS”)

were to use SMS confidential information in the claim construction process, Xtek's access to

documents and information concerning the process might be impaired. In view of this concern,

Case 3:06-cv-00060-GTE Document 70 Filed 01/11/07 Page 1 of 2
as soon as it becomes apparent that SMS desires to use SMS confidential information in any of

the documents or information that is to be exchanged during the procedure set forth above, SMS

will immediately notify Xtek of its intention to use such information. The parties will then

confer on the use of such information. If the parties cannot agree, the matter will immediately be

brought to the attention of the Court for decision as soon as the Court can address the issue. The

parties agree that use of SMS confidential information in the claim construction process is highly

unlikely.

IT IS SO ORDERED, this 11th day of January, 2007.
