`
`JOINT REPORT REGARDING CONFERENCES ON CASE NARROWING
`
`Pursuant to the Court’s Scheduling Orders (see Dkt. Nos. 112 and 128), the Parties have
`
`met and conferred on multiple occasions via teleconference and email to discuss the narrowing of
`
`this case. Beginning in July 2023, the parties agreed to an initial narrowing of asserted claims and
`
`prior art references. The parties both agreed to narrow the number of claims and references, which
`
`resulted in Flyp dropping 9 claims and Google dropping 5 references.
`
`Thereafter, during opening report drafting both parties independently prioritized certain
`
`claims and references. In the end, Flyp’s opening reports asserted 10 claims—a further 50%
`
`reduction. And Google’s opening report asserted two primary references and four secondary
`
`references—a further reduction exceeding 50%.
`
`The Parties again conferred on November 2-7. The Parties agree that the current number
`
`of asserted claims (10) and references (2 primary and 4 secondary) are within triable limits. Should
