While specific intrinsic evidence is being identified in support of the proposed claim constructions herein, Nintendo and Microsoft reserve the right to rely on the teachings of the specification and prosecution history as a whole in order to construe the disputed terms. Thus, by listing certain intrinsic evidence herein Nintendo and Microsoft are not suggesting that other parts of the specification (such as the entire background and summary of the invention) and prosecution history are not relevant to the proper construction of the disputed terms. Nintendo and Microsoft reserve the right to rely on any other part or all of the specification and prosecution history. Nintendo and Microsoft also incorporate by reference all intrinsic evidence identified by either of them for similar or related terms. Nintendo and Microsoft incorporate by reference all intrinsic and extrinsic evidence identified for similar or related terms having similar or related constructions whether in the patent at issue or in another asserted patent. For any claim terms that are to be construed, Nintendo and Microsoft reserve the right to utilize the language of the claims as a whole to assist in providing meaning to the claim term.
