CLAIM CONSTRUCTION ORDER
PAUL S. GREWAL, Magistrate Judge.
Plaintiff Corning Optical Communications Wireless, Ltd. claims Defendants SOLid Inc. and Reach Holdings LLC infringe United States Patent Nos. 5,969,837 and 7,438,504. Consistent with Pat. L.R. 4-3(c), the parties seek construction of various claim terms.1 The parties appeared for a hearing on the matters at hand earlier today. To avoid unnecessary delay, the court proceeds to issue its constructions without its full reasoning and analysis:
PATENT CLAIM TERM/PHRASE CONSTRUCTION
NO.
`837 "[remote unit comprising] plural "two or more antennas for sending and/or
antennas for communicating with receiving wireless signals to/from
communicators along plural wireless communications devices over the plural
communications networks" wireless communications networks"
`837 "wherein a low frequency control signal "a low frequency control signal is a
is multiplexed by said communications signal used to convey control information
interface onto said optical fiber" and having a lower frequency than the
analog communications signals; the
communications interface includes the
device(s) and/or circuitry that
multiplex(es) the low frequency control
signal with another signal to be
transmitted on the optical fiber"
`837 "wherein a low frequency data signal is "a low frequency data signal is a signal
multiplexed by said communications used to convey data and having a lower
interface to a microprocessor" frequency than the analog
communications signals; the
communications interface includes the
device(s) and/or circuitry that
multiplex(es) the low frequency data
signal with another signal to be
transmitted to a microprocessor"
`837 "fiberoptic transmitter receiving said Plain and ordinary meaning
[single/combined] radio frequency
analog output and providing a
corresponding optical output"
`837 "fiberoptic receiver receiving an optical Plain and ordinary meaning
input and providing an RF analog output"
`837 "soft limiter for substantially preventing "device(s) and/or circuitry for reducing a
distortion due to an inadvertent increase signal's power without substantially
in communication power" distorting the information conveyed by
the signal"
`837 "wherein a single duplex cable "wherein a single cable that allows
interconnects each of said antennas with transmission in both directions
said communications interface" interconnects each of said antennas with
said communications interface"
`504 "multiple input multiple output (MIMO) "multiple signals that have overlapping
signals" frequency spectrums and that are
transmitted and/or received by separate
antennas with overlapping coverage areas
and that carry a different data stream"
`504 "endpoint [of a DAS network]" "(1) antenna location [of a DAS network]
communicating with end users ("antenna
endpoint"), or (2) distribution location
[of a DAS network] where signals are
received from a radio service(s) source
and processed signals are distributed to at
least one antenna location ("distribution
endpoint")"
`504 "frequency shifting n-1 of the MIMO "changing the frequency of n-1 of the
signals into signals with n-1 separate MIMO signals, each to a different
frequencies" frequency, to create n-1 frequency shifted
signals"
`504 "a single coaxial cable extending for at "a single coaxial cable connected to an
least part of a path from the first endpoint antenna endpoint and extending for at
to a second endpoint of the DAS least part of a path to a distribution
network" endpoint of the DAS network, for
carrying both uplink and downlink
signals"
`504 "at the second endpoint, reconstructing "at the second endpoint, constructing a
the original MIMO signals" replica of the original MIMO signals"
`504 "providing a plurality n of original "providing a number (n) of MIMO
MIMO signals" signals, where n is two or more"
'504 "providing a plurality of MIMO signals "providing two or more MIMO signals
belonging to a plurality of services from each of two ormore services
The parties should rest assured that the court arrived at these constructions with a full appreciation of not only the relevant intrinsic and extrinsic evidence, but also the Federal Circuit's teaching in Phillips v. AWH Corp.,2 and its progeny. So that the parties may pursue whatever recourse they believe is necessary, a complete opinion will issue before entry of any judgment.
SO ORDERED.
