Case No. 6:20-cv-00234-ADA

JURY TRIAL DEMANDED

JOINT REPORT REGARDING 

NARROWING OF ASSERTED CLAIMS AND PRIOR ART

Pursuant to the Court’s Order Governing Proceedings (Dkt. No. 110), the parties met and 

conferred on and following March 7, 2022 regarding case narrowing, and respectfully submit the 

following report:

Plaintiff asserts three claims (1, 2, and 4). Defendants requested that Plaintiff drop one of 

claims 1 or 4 as redundant and other aspects of its claims, including its doctrine of equivalents 

theory and Section 271(f) claims. Plaintiff, however, stated that it intends to present all three claims 

at trial and declined to narrow any of its theories. Claims 1 and 4 cover legally distinct use cases

but otherwise have generally similar limitations, and thus Plaintiff expects to present substantially 

identical proofs for these claims at trial as it has in its expert reports.

Case 6:20-cv-00234-ADA Document 286 Filed 03/14/22 Page 1 of 4
Defendants’ invalidity expert report presented 12 prior art references in 31 unique grounds 

(i.e., references or combinations of references). During the meet and confer process Defendants 

agreed to narrow their invalidity case to a maximum of 13 unique grounds, but Defendants have 

not yet finalized the specific grounds they will carry forward. Defendants will file a supplemental 

status report no later than March 25, 2022 identifying the narrowed set of grounds. 

Dated: March 14, 2022 Respectfully submitted,
