`
`
`Ryan,
`
`
`Monday works for the call. Just let us know your team’s availability that day.
`
`
`We received PayRange’s amended infringement contentions. However, we noticed the cover pleading still asserts claim
`1 of the ‘772 patent. While we appreciate that claim 11 depends from claim 1, we understand that claim 1 has been
`disclaimed and thus cannot be asserted. Can you please confirm that claim 1 was asserted in error and serve a corrected
`cover pleading to reflect that PayRange only asserts claim 11 of the ‘772 patent.
`
`
`Thanks,
`Mark

`Subject: PayRange v. CSC ‐ '772 Patent & Discovery Issues
`
`
`
`EXTERNAL
`
`Dear Counsel,
`
`I write to address three issues:
`
`
`1. Please be advised that PayRange filed the attached statutory disclaimer for claims 1‐6, 8‐10 and 12‐20 of the
`‘772 patent. PayRange intends to serve amended infringement contentions for the ‘772 patent, asserting only
`claim 11. We are aiming to provide those amended contentions this week if possible. If you’d like additional
`time for invalidity contentions for the ‘772 patent please let know. Relatedly, we think it makes sense to file a
`joint notice alerting the Court of this development, especially given the pending MTD.
`
`2. We’d like to speak with our about ESI discovery. We think it makes sense for the parties to exchange ESI search
`terms and custodians (for their own collection) by December 8 and that the opposing party propose additional
`search terms and any additional proposed custodians by December 15. Please let us know if this works for CSC?
`
`3. We noticed that your document production did not include source code for CSC Go or CSCPay Mobile. We
`would like to discuss the logistics for inspecting your code. PayRange will make its source code available as well.
`Please let us know if you’d like to discuss.
`
`
`Best regards,
`
