With respect to the 26 claims to be tried, the Court expects to advise the jury that all terms

15

have their ordinary meaning, unless previously construed. If any party contends otherwise, then it

16

must specify the claim, the term therein, and its proposed construction by NOON ON

17

DECEMBER 2, 2011. Drafts must be exchanged seven calendar days before and an in-person

18

conference must be held to work out differences within the seven-day period. Please try to

19

stipulate to any meaning other than the ordinary meaning. By NOON ON DECEMBER 9, 2011, each

20

side shall respond stating with particularity its objection, if any, to the proposed constructions.

21

This pleading will be used by the judge for case and trial management purposes. A party may not

22

deviate from any earlier claim construction contentions unless it is to accept the ordinary

23

meaning, to stipulate to an agreed meaning, or to accept the other side’s earlier contention.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
