`Defendants Sotera Wireless, Inc. (“Sotera”) and Hon Hai Precision Industry Co.,
`Ltd. (“Hon Hai”) (collectively, “Defendants”) hereby respond to Plaintiff Masimo
`Corporation’s (“Masimo”) preliminary proposed claim constructions related to
`terms of U.S. Patent No. 9,788,735 (“the ’735 patent”), U.S. Patent No. 9,795,300
`(“the ’300 patent”), U.S. Patent No. 9,872,623 (“the ’623 patent”), U.S. Patent No.
`10,213,108 (“the ’108 patent”), U.S. Patent No. RE47,244 (“the RE244 patent”),

`RE249 patent”), U.S. Patent No. RE47,218 (“the RE218 patent”), and U.S. Patent
`No. 10,255,994 (“the ’994 patent”). In addition, Defendants hereby provide a
`preliminary identification of extrinsic evidence supporting Defendants’ responsive
`claim constructions. A chart identifying each claim term, preliminary proposed
`claim constructions, and supporting extrinsic evidence is found below.
`The identified responsive claim constructions are based on Defendants’
`analysis and investigation to date, as well as ongoing discovery. Defendants have
`not yet had the opportunity to take depositions, including of the named inventors.
`Defendants, thus, reserve all rights to alter or amend this disclosure. Defendants’
`identification of any claim term for construction is not an admission that a claim
`containing that term meets the requirements of 35 U.S.C. § 112. Defendants also
`reserve the right to propose responsive constructions for combinations of the terms
`and phrases below and to propose responsive constructions for shorter phrases
`contained in the phrases below.
`Simultaneously with these disclosures, Sotera has produced documents
`pursuant Patent Local Rule 4.1(d), identified as Bates numbers SOTERA 00010844
