Thanks   David   From: Scott Leslie [mailto:SLeslie@cravath.com] Sent: Thursday, March 10, 2011 3:38 PM To: David Perlson Cc: 'ahale@cravath.com'; 'aharasymiak@cravath.com'; 'AMayo@ashby-geddes.com'; Andrea P Roberts; 'angela.quach@davispolk.com'; 'Fenwick, Anthony I.'; 'Lisson, David'; 'Moore, David E.'; 'felicia.yu@davispolk.com'; Google-Xerox; 'jblumenfeld@mnat.com'; 'jday@ashby-geddes.com'; 'Brodsky, Jeremy'; 'lmaguire@ashby-geddes.com'; 'mnoreika@mnat.com'; 'rhorwitz@Potteranderson.com'; 'Richard Stark' Subject: RE: Xerox v. Google, et al. - Claim Terms and Constructions David Thank you for promptly getting us Defendants' revised chart. First, regarding the limitation in Claim 5 that "the organized classification of document content is defined using a hierarchical organization", we cannot tell from Defendants' proposed construction whether, in order to be hierarchical, every single category in the organized classification must be a parent or a child of another category. We do not believe that a hierarchical organization precludes the presence of some categories that are neither parents nor children of other categories, and that is simply what our proposed construction reflects. Please let us know whether you think we have a substantive disagreement concerning this construction.   ‐‐We do not think so. Second, we notice that Defendants have retained their construction for the "characteristic vocabulary" limitation of Claim 10 (namely, "one or more words or phrases that describe the category of information corresponding to the class"). We are still unsure whether there is a dispute between the parties concerning this claim term because we are unsure what "category of information" Defendants are referring to in their proposed construction. Are you referring to the "category of information" in the information retrieval system, as referenced in steps (a) and (d) of Claim 1?   ‐‐Yes Finally, regarding the "defining an organized classification of document content" limitation, we want to be absolutely sure that we are in substantive agreement. Defendants have proposed "setting an organized classification of document content", i.e., setting the particular organized classification of document content that is to be used in performing the steps of the claimed method. We thought all parties agreed that, for purposes of whether this construction is satisfied, it is immaterial whether the particular organized classification of document set for use in the claimed method is (1) created by the performer of the method, (2) selected from existing classifications by the performer of the method or (3) modified by the performer of the method from an existing classification. Is that correct, or do Defendants have a different understanding?   ‐‐Correct Thank you. Best, Scott Scott A.

Google, et al. - Claim Terms and Constructions Scott, Attached is a revised chart. We have moved the order of steps to be a disputed term. Also, for “organized classification of document content,” we have included the following construction “the organized classification of document content is defined using categories that are “parents” or “children” of other categories.” This is the construction that you had proposed on the call and then emailed to us. We cannot agree to your revised construction of “the categories in the organized classification of document content may be “parents” or “children” of other categories.” In particular, the “may be” language renders what follows an essentially meaningless addition. Please advise promptly if you will agree to what you previously proposed. We confirm as you request regarding “memory.” As to your confirmation regarding the “defining an organized classification of document content" limitation, we will confirm as follows: Defendants will not argue that this construction ("setting an organized classification of document content") of this limitation ("defining an organized classification of document content") distinguishes among classifications on the basis of whether they were (1) created by the performer of the method, vs. (2) selected by the performer of the method, vs. (3) modified by the performer of the method from an existing classification."

Google, et al. - Claim Terms and Constructions David and Tony As discussed on our call today, attached is a revised version of the joint claim construction chart and a comparison showing changes from the version David circulated last night. Please note that, as we indicated during the call, we have modified the first row in the "order of steps" section, which is currently in the "Agreed Constructions" section. If Defendants do not agree with these modifications, please let us know what language Defendants wish to use, and we will move this element into the "Disputed Constructions" section. As discussed during the call, Xerox agrees with Defendants' proposal that "memory" (Claim 18) does not require construction based on Defendants' representation that they will not contend that "memory" excludes any of the categories of memory devices (e.g., disk drives, floppy disks (or diskettes), optical disks, magnetic tape, semiconductor memories such as RAM, ROM, PROMs, etc.) expressly enumerated in the specification of the ’979 Patent. If Defendants do not agree with this understanding, please let us know. Similarly, Xerox accepts Defendants' proposed construction for "defining an organized classification of document content" (Claims 1 and 18) given Defendants' representation that they will not argue that this construction precludes either creating an organized classification of document content or selecting/modifying an existing organized classification of document content in performing the claimed method. Please confirm Defendants' agreement on this issue. Defendants indicated on the call that they may wish to get an extension to complete their citations to intrinsic evidence. Please let us know if that is the case and, if so, what time frame Defendants are proposing. Otherwise, if the parties will be filing the joint claim construction chart tomorrow, we would appreciate receiving Defendants' responses to the attached as soon as possible, and no later than tomorrow morning.

Regarding Claim 10, an "organized classification of document content" consists of categories (i.e., classes). Claim 10 simply requires that each category/class be associated with a "characteristic vocabulary." It seems to us that "vocabulary" is self-explanatory, and a "characteristic vocabulary" would, self-evidently, be a vocabulary that is characteristic of the category. If Defendants believe this term requires construction, please let us know what construction defendants would propose. As you know, the parties must file the joint claim construction chart on Thursday.

Google, et al. - Claim Terms and Constructions Scott, As we continue to consider Xerox’s proposals we have a few questions. Xerox has sought to construe “memory.” Our initial reaction is that this is not a term that should need construction. Is there some reason why Xerox feels this is needed to be explained to the jury? Xerox did not identify “characteristic vocabulary” in claim 10 as a term for construction. Can you explain what Xerox believes this phrase intends to convey? This term seems to be one that would warrant a construction, but we have not yet formulated one. Perhaps Xerox’s explanation of this term could assist in this process given the short time we have to provide constructions.

Google, et al. - Claim Terms and Constructions Counsel Attached is an updated Joint Claim Construction Chart with Xerox's additions. As you will see, we have reformatted the document for filing and have updated various sections of the charts themselves. To the extent we have altered anything in the charts beyond Xerox's own proposed constructions and mere formatting, we have shaded those changes in gray. Please let us know if you have any questions.
