RE: any word?

Josh,

I/P Engine’s position is that no construction is necessary. The order is dictated by the claim language or no
order is required. For both claims (claim 25 of the ‘420 patent and claim 26 of the ‘664 patent), no order is
explicitly required. To the extent that some limitations presuppose that one of the earlier limitations be
performed, that (limited) required ordering is clear from the claim language itself and no construction is
necessary. This is an issue that will be addressed by the experts.

Charles, 

Sorry if my email was not clear, the “larger phrases containing ‘scanning’ and ‘combining’” are terms that, at Plaintiff’s 
request and to narrow the issues for claim construction, Defendants agreed not to construe in the Markman process.  
Defendants continue to believe that these larger phrases are indefinite.  We merely have agreed that the indefiniteness 
issue need not be decided in the present Markman briefing.  This why they were not on David’s list.  I trust this resolves 
any confusion. 

Also, while I understand that Plaintiff may not agree to our proposal regarding order of steps we want to make sure that 
we understand Plaintiff’s position.  Is it Plaintiff’s position that no order whatsoever is required in these method claims?

Best, 

Josh
