`Prehearing Statement.
`
`I. TERMS ON WHICH THE PARTIES AGREE [P.R. 4-3(A)(1)]
`
`In accordance with Patent Rule 4-2(c), the parties met and conferred to narrow the list of
`
`disputed claim terms and phrases for their P.R. 4-1 lists and P.R. 4-2 exchange of preliminary
`
`claim construction and extrinsic evidence. Exhibit A sets forth Ollnova’s and ecobee’s agreed
`
`constructions.
`
`II. PROPOSED CONSTRUCTIONS AND EXTRINSIC EVIDENCE FOR DISPUTED
`TERMS [P.R. 4-3(A)(2)]
`
`Exhibit B sets forth Ollnova’s and ecobee’s proposed respective constructions of each
`
`disputed claim term or phrase of the patents-in-suit. Included in Exhibit B is an identification of
`
`all references from the specification and prosecution history that each party believes supports its
`
`Emerson Exhibit 1023

`

`Case 2:22-cv-00072-JRG Document 83 Filed 01/10/23 Page 2 of 4 PageID #: 1539
`
`
`
`proposed constructions and an identification of the extrinsic evidence known to each party on
`
`which each party intends to rely either to support its proposed construction of each claim term or
`
`phrase or to oppose another party’s proposed construction of each claim term or phrase.
`
`III. CLAIM CONSTRUCTION HEARING LENGTH [P.R. 4-3(A)(3)]
`
`The parties anticipate that the claim construction hearing will take up to three hours. The
`

`IV. WITNESSES, INCLUDING EXPERTS, FOR THE CLAIM CONSTRUCTION
`HEARING [P.R. 4-3(A)(4)]

`The parties do not expect to present live testimony of witnesses at the Claim Construction
`
`Hearing. As noted in Exhibit B, the parties may submit expert declarations from Dr. Vijay

`Madisetti and/or Erik de la Iglesia (in support of Ollnova) and Dr. John Martens (in support of
`
`ecobee).
`
`V. OTHER ISSUES [P.R. 4-3(A)(5)]
