TO PLAINTIFF’S MOTION TO COMPEL COMPLIANCE WITH THE COURT’S

Attached hereto as Exhibit 2 is a true and correct copy of the Defendants’ Proposed
Terms and Claim Elements for Construction served on March 14, 2012.
4.

17.
The parties met and conferred on April 4, 2012. During that meet and confer and in
subsequent correspondence, Defendants made efforts to narrow their list of disputed terms
further in an effort to reach agreement on a list of ten or fewer terms for the Court’s construction.
As part of the meet and confer process, Defendants have agreed to withdraw the following
proposed terms: “feedback system for receiving collaborative feedback data from system users
relative to informons considered by such users”, “filtering the combined information for
relevance to at least one of the query and the first user”, and “searching [for information relevant
to a query associated with a first user].” Defendants agreed to seek construction of the word
“combining,” as Plaintiff requested, rather than the larger phrases Defendants initially proposed.
Defendants also agreed to drop two phrases containing “scanning a network” and to instead just
construe the term “scanning a network,” as Plaintiff requested. Defendants have also agreed to
Plaintiff’s proposed construction for “query.”
18.
I declare under penalty of perjury of the laws of the United States that the foregoing is
true and correct.
