Defendant–Counterclaimant Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. (“Defendant”) brings this
unopposed Motion for Administrative Relief for Leave, if Necessary, to Designate Additional
Claim Terms for Construction. (Dkt. No. 41.) The Court has reviewed the motion and supporting
papers. The motion is DENIED.
Defendant has failed to comply with the Court's Standing Order for Patent Cases, paragraph
4, by “explain[ing] why other methods of limiting the claims at issue (such as the selection of
representative claims or any grouping of claims by issues presented) would be ineffective.” Good
cause is not demonstrated merely because the number of patents at issue exceeds one. Further,
without more specificity, the Court cannot determine whether it is more appropriate to agree to
construe all the requested terms or schedule a second claim construction hearing.
The Court FURTHER ORDERS that the parties' supplement the process of identifying the
claims terms to be construed. Each party shall identify with specificity the intended impact of their
proposed constructions on the merits and exchange the same. The Joint Claim Construction
Statement shall include each party’s impact statement for each claim to be construed.
This order terminates Docket No. 41.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Date: July 19, 2012
