`Pursuant to Patent Local Rule 4-2 and the Court’s Case Management Order, Dkt. No. 79,
`
`2
`
`Defendants Google Inc.; YouTube, LLC; and On2 Technologies, Inc. (“Defendants”) hereby
`
`3
`
`provide to Plaintiff Max Sound Corporation (“Plaintiff”) and Patent Owner Vedanti Systems
`
`4
`
`Limited (“Patent Owner”) their Preliminary Claim Constructions and Identification of Evidence
`
`5
`
`for asserted independent claims 1, 7, and 10 and dependent claims 6, 9, 12, and 13 (“asserted
`
`6
`
`claims”) of U.S. Patent No. 7,974,339 (the “’339 patent” or “asserted patent”).
`
`7
`
`Defendants’ investigation and discovery are ongoing, and Defendants, therefore, reserve
`
`8
`
`the right to amend and/or supplement this list and the constructions contained herein. Defendants
`
`9
`
`further reserve the right to supplement this disclosure in light of the positions that Plaintiff and/or
`
`10
`
`Patent Owner takes in this litigation. Such positions may require the Court to construe other claim
`
`11
`
`terms in addition to the ones listed in this disclosure.
`
`12
`
`The following terms, phrases, or clauses are identified for construction wherever they
`
`13
`
`appear in any claim or element, including all dependent claims or claims where multiple terms
`
`14
`
`appear in combination. To the extent that the asserted claims contain identical claim terms,
`
`15
`
`phrases, or clauses, Defendants’ proposed constructions below shall apply equally to each of the
`
`16
`
`asserted claims. Defendants contend that all terms not identified should be given the ordinary and
`
`17
`
`customary meaning that the term would have to a person of ordinary skill in the art in question
`
`18
`
`reading the asserted patent at the time of the invention, i.e., as of the effective filing date of the
`
`19
`
`patent application. In addition, Defendants’ proposal of a construction for any claim terms,
`
`20
`
`phrases, or clauses herein does not mean that the claim term or claim element is valid or
`
`21
`
`construable under 35 U.S.C. § 112, and Defendants reserve the right to so assert and make no
`
`22
`
`admission or contention herein.
`
`23
`
`Defendants may rely upon extrinsic evidence in the form of sworn testimony from Dr. Iain
`
`24
`
`Richardson. Dr. Richardson may testify as to the understanding of individuals of ordinary skill in
`
`25
`
`the art at the relevant time period for the asserted patent. Specifically, Dr. Richardson may
`
`26
`
`provide testimony regarding background technology or to demonstrate that Defendants’
`
`27
`
`constructions of the proposed claim terms and phrases are consistent with the meaning of such
`
`28
`
`terms and phrases in the relevant art during the relevant time period for the asserted patent. Such

`
`specification and claims of the asserted patent. Defendants do not plan to bring Dr. Richardson to
`

`
`the claim construction hearing unless the Court requests his presence in advance. Defendants
`

`
`further reserve the right to introduce expert testimony to rebut Plaintiff and/or Patent Owner’s
`
