`
`I.
`
`STATEMENT BY NONMOVING PARTY REGARDING CLAIMS SUBJECT TO AN
`INDEFINITENESS CHALLENGE
`
`Pursuant to the DCO (Dkt. No. 70), Maxell provides the following statement with respect
`
`to the indefiniteness challenges:
`
`• With respect to the claim term “a storage unit in which group information generated by
`classifying the plurality of base stations into groups” in claim 11 of the ’139 Patent,
`Maxell may present testimony and opinion from one or more experts, including without
`limitation Dr. Michael Caloyannides, Dr. Branimir Vojcic, and/or Dr. Sayfe Kiaei
`addressing arguments presented by Huawei that the term is indefinite. Maxell’s expert(s)
`will testify that, in view of the disclosures in the specification, one of ordinary skill in the
`art would have been able to ascertain the scope this claim term with reasonable certainty.
`
`• With respect to the claim term “waits a longer time” in claim 1 of the ’517 Patent, (claim
`11) Maxell may present testimony and opinion from one or more experts, including
`without limitation Dr. Michael Caloyannides, Dr. Branimir Vojcic, and/or Dr. Sayfe
`Kiaei addressing arguments presented by Huawei that the term is indefinite. Maxell’s
`expert(s) will testify that one of ordinary skill in the art would have been able to
`ascertain the scope of this claim term with reasonable certainty.
`
`• With respect to the claim term “a controller which executes control so that the correction
`portion corrects the video signals in accordance with distribution of luminance or hue or
`saturation of the video signals and with the illumination detected by the illumination
`sensor when any change occurs in the video signal inputted to the input portion, wherein
`the controller corrects luminance of the video signal without correcting hue and
`saturation of the video signal when the change of the video signal does not occur and
`when the illumination detected by the illumination sensor is above a predetermined
`value” in claim 1 of the ’901 Patent, Maxell may present testimony and opinion from one
`or more experts, including without limitation Dr. Shukri Souri and/or Dr. Vijay Madisetti
`addressing arguments presented by Huawei that the term is indefinite. Maxell’s expert(s)
`will testify that, in view of the disclosures in the specification, one of ordinary skill in the
`art would have been able to ascertain the scope this claim term with reasonable certainty.
`Further, if this term is found to be a means-plus-function term—which Maxell does not

`
`
`
`Case 5:16-cv-00178-RWS Document 74 Filed 09/01/17 Page 3 of 61 PageID #: 1526
`
`concede, Maxell’s expert(s) will testify that the specification provides adequate structure
`for this term.
`
`II.
`
`HIGH PRIORITY TERMS WHOSE CONSTRUCTION WILL BE MOST
`SIGNIFICANT TO THE RESOLUTION OF THE CASE
`
`Maxell’s Position: Maxell believes the following terms will be the most significant to
`
`resolution of certain claims in the case to the extent they relate to Huawei’s Motion to Dismiss
`
`(Dkt. No. 26): “calculating characterizing quantities” in claims 1 and 11 of the ’139 Patent and
`
`the terms “GPS receiver means,” “GPS reliability calculation means,” “cellular reliability
`
`calculation means,” “cellular reciver means,” and “GPS/cellular positioning results combining
`
`means” in claim 1 of the ’292 Patent include the most significant disputes and therefore are the
`
`most significant to the resolution of the case.
`
`Maxell also believes the following terms will be significant to resolution of certain claims
`
`in the case: “a relation of said direction and a direction from said present place to said
`
`destination” and “walking navigation” in claims 1, 10, 15, 16, 17, and 20 of the ’317 Patent, “an
`
`image-instability detector” in claim 1 of the ’729 Patent, and “controller means” in claim 1 of the
`
`’491 Patent.
`
`In addition, the Parties have agreed that the following terms should be interpreted as
`
`means-plus-function terms according to pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. § 112, ¶ 6, however, no party has
`
`identified these as high priority (that is, among the 32 disputed terms) but have not been able to
`
`agree upon the corresponding structures:
`
`•
`
`“a control means for effecting control wherein, if said user-associated medium at
`
`least approaches said detecting means, a controlled object is set in a non-power
`
`saving state, and wherein, if said user associated medium is distant from said
`
`detecting means for at least a predetermined constant period of time, at least a part

`
`of said controlled object is set in a power saving state” (’443 Patent, Claim 1);
`
`•
`
`“reproducing means for reproducing, from a recording medium, at least moving
`
`pictures encoded by a first encoding method and first pictures having a smaller
`
`number of pixels than the moving pictures” (’440 Patent, Claims 5, 7);
`
`•
`
`“first outputting means for outputting a plurality of reproduced ones of the first
`
`pictures” (’440 Patent, Claim 5);
`
`•
`
`“second outputting means for outputting a moving picture corresponding to any
`
`selected first picture” (’440 Patent, Claim 5);
`
`•
`
`“reproducing means for reproducing at least a first still picture, a second still
`
`picture and a picture from a recording medium, wherein said first still picture is
`
`encoded by a first encoding method, said second still picture is encoded by a
`
`second encoding method different from the first encoding method, and said
`
`picture corresponds to said first and second still pictures and has a smaller number
`
`of pixels than said first and second still pictures, and wherein said first still
`
`picture, said second still picture and said picture are related pictures derived from
`
`common signal data” (’760 Patent, Claims 10 and 13);
`
`•
`
`“first outputting means for outputting a plurality of reproduced pictures from the
`
`reproducing operation” (’760 Patent, Claim 10); and
`
`•
`
`“second outputting means for outputting said first still picture corresponding to a
`
`selected picture” (’760 Patent, Claim 1).
`
`Huawei’s Position: Huawei believes that the following limitations are claim dispositive.
