`DEFENDANT GOOGLE LLC’S RESPONSE TO PLAINTIFF FLYPSI, INC.’S NOTICE
`OF SUPPLEMENTAL CLAIM CONSTRUCTION EVIDENCE
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Case 6:22-cv-00031-ADA Document 66 Filed 10/27/22 Page 2 of 4
`
`
`Flyp’s Notice of Supplemental Claim Construction Evidence asserts that the testimony of
`
`Google’s venue fact witness,
`
`, is evidence that the claim terms “primary telephone
`
`number” and “secondary telephone number” are not indefinite to persons of ordinary skill in the
`
`art. Dkt. 59. This assertion is incorrect for two reasons.
`
`First, the cited testimony does not undermine Google’s position. The fact that a single
`
`individual, Mr.
`
`, has a personal understanding of “primary” and “secondary” telephone
`
`numbers in a context divorced from the asserted patent claims does not mean that a POSITA would
`
`be reasonably certain of the terms’ meanings as used in the patents. Dkt. 52 at 3–4. Mr.
`
`’s
`
`understanding (which is anything but “clear,” Dkt. 59) does nothing to “resolve the ambiguity” in
`
`the patents’ intrinsic record. See Teva Pharms. USA, Inc. v. Sandoz, Inc., 789 F.3d 1335, 1342
`
`(Fed. Cir. 2015). And it is indisputable that the intrinsic record, not disconnected witness
`
`testimony, must provide “objective boundaries for those of skill in the art.” Interval Licensing LLC
`
`v. AOL, Inc., 766 F.3d 1364, 1372–74 (Fed. Cir. 2014).
`
`Second, Flyp omits that Mr.
`
` had not, and has not, reviewed the asserted patents or
`
`asserted claims in which the terms “primary telephone number” and “secondary telephone
`
`number” appear.1 Dkt. 59, Ex. A at 65:8–11 (“
`
`
`
`”); see also id.
`
`at 65:22–66:20. Mr.
`
`’s testimony is thus irrelevant to the Court’s claim construction analysis
`
`because it was not given in the context of the asserted patents. See Panasonic Corp. v. Magna Int’l
`
`Inc., No. 6:21-cv-00319-ADA, 2022 WL 625089, at *4 (W.D. Tex. Mar. 3, 2022). Mr.
`
`’s
`
`
`’s understanding of the
`1 None of Flyp’s 30(b)(6) deposition topics related in any way to Mr.
`disputed claim terms, as Flyp’s deposition was limited only to those topics relevant to Google’s
`motion to transfer.

`
`
`testimony cannot save the disputed terms from their fundamental indefiniteness as used in the
`
`asserted patent claims.
