ORDER REGARDING JOINT CLAIM

CONSTRUCTION STATEMENT

On January 12, 2015, the parties filed a joint claim construction statement. Docket No. 151. 

In the statement, Defendants represent that Plaintiff “willful[ly] violated” this Court’s patent local

rules, and asks the Court to strike all of Plaintiff’s proposed constructions but one, and to further

sanction Plaintiff as the Court deems appropriate. See id. at 3. Plaintiff did not respond to

Defendants’ allegations in the joint statement. 

Plaintiff, for its part, asks the Court to strike “Defendants’ attempt to rely on statements from

Plaintiff’s counsel as intrinsic evidence to support their proposed [claim] definitions.” Id. The

Court will not strike any of the parties’ proposed constructions or otherwise impose any sanctions. 

In order to provide the parties sufficient time to prepare for the claim construction hearing in this

case, the Court modifies the case schedule as follows:
