Alfonso Cioffi and The Estate of Allen Rozman (collec- tively “Appellants” or “Cioffi”) filed suit against Google, Inc. (“Appellee” or “Google”) on February 5, 2013 in the Eastern District of Texas alleging that the Google Chrome web browser (the “Accused Products”) infringed four reissue patents: U.S. Patent No s. RE43,103 (the “’103 patent”); RE43,500 (the “’500 patent”); RE43,528 (the “’528 patent”); and RE43,529 (the “’529 patent”). The district court construed several disputed terms of the four patents-at-issue.
