`Pursuant to Paragraph 12 of the Joint Scheduling Order (D.I. 17), Plaintiff Huber
`
`Engineered Woods LLC (“HEW”) and Defendant Louisiana-Pacific Corporation (“LP”;
`
`collectively “the Parties”), by and through their attorneys, hereby submit this Joint Claim
`
`Construction Chart identifying the terms and phrases of the claims in U.S. Patent Nos. 8,474,197
`
`(“the ’197 Patent”); 9,010,044 (“the ’044 Patent”); 9,382,713 (“the ’713 Patent”); 9,546,479
`
`(“the ’479 Patent”); 9,689,159 (“the ’159 Patent”); 9,695,588 (“the ’588 Patent”); 9,702,140
`
`(“the ’140 Patent”) and 10,072,415 (“the ’415 Patent”) (collectively, “the Patents in Suit”) that

`
`The Parties agree to the following constructions:
`
`Claim Term/Phrase
`
`Agreed Construction
`
`“Wafer Board”
`
`“Wood Composite Material”
`
`Panels manufactured from reconstituted wood wafers
`bonded with resins under heat and pressure
`
`A composite material that comprises wood and one
`or more other additives, such as adhesives or waxes.
`Non-limiting examples of wood composite materials
`include oriented strand board (“OSB”), waferboard,
`particleboard, medium-density fiberboard, plywood,

`wood composite materials may be found in the
`Supplement Volume
`to
`the Kirk-Othmer
`Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, pp. 765-810,
`6th edition.
`A panel product composed primarily of wood which,
`in its commodity end use, is essentially dependent
`upon certain mechanical and/or physical properties
`for successful end use performance such as plywood.

`2-92 Voluntary Product Standard.

`
`Further, the Parties submit herewith Exhibit A, which provides proposed constructions of
`
`disputed claim language, as well as citations to the intrinsic evidence in support of each Party’s
`
`proposed constructions. The Parties’ citations to intrinsic evidence in U.S. Patent No. 8,474,197
`
`(“the ’197 Patent”) in Exhibit A incorporate by reference the analogous portions of the other
`
`Patents in Suit, which all share a common disclosure in their specifications. The Parties agree
`
`that claim terms are to be construed consistently across all patents in the patent family.
`
`In addition to the intrinsic evidence specifically identified herein, the Parties reserve the
`
`right to rely on additional intrinsic evidence to the extent it is necessary to provide additional
`
`context or to rebut argument made during claim construction briefing. The Parties also reserve
`
`the right to rely on any intrinsic evidence identified by the opposing party. The Parties further
`
`reserve the right to rely on extrinsic evidence, including expert testimony, to the extent
`
`appropriate.
`
`Copies of the Patents in Suit and the intrinsic record relied upon by the Parties are
`
`attached herewith as Exhibits B-M.

`HEW maintains that
`this claim term alone
`does not require
`construction. Instead,
`the phrase “A panel

`envelope a structure”
`should be construed, as
`discussed below in
`entry no. 2.
`
`This term has its plain and

`this claim term alone
`does not require

`the phrase “A barrier

`should be construed, as
