`
`CIVIL ACTION l:20cv393
`
`CLAIM CONSTRUCTION ORDER
`
`Each party has filed a Claim Construction Brief and oral argument was held on
`
`November 18, 2020. The Court has reviewed the parties' submissions, including the patents,
`
`prosecution histories, and other pertinent materials and considered the oral arguments of the
`
`parties. Each side asks the Court to give the fifteen terms in dispute their ordinary and
`
`customary meaning to the person of ordinary skill in the art. They also urge the Court to examine
`
`whether any of the terms are indefinite and to be careful not to import limitations from the
`
`specifications unless there is a disclaimer.
`
`The Court has endeavored to follow these rules of construction and in doing so
`
`concludes that none of the fifteen terms in dispute should be modified. They are all well known
`
`common English words given their common meaning. None of the terms were modified by a
`
`clear disclaimer in the prosecution, although there were debates with the examiner. Mostly, the
`
`Court foimd that the limitations sought were advanced herein to support infringement/non-
`
`infiingement or invalidity arguments downstream in the litigation.
