From the Opinion

The passage below is extracted verbatim from the opening of the document. It has not been editorially summarized — consult the full opinion for the court's complete reasoning.

This is a claim construction ruling in a patent infringement case. The parties disagree about the construction of four terms that are used in the two patents in suit, U.S. Patent Nos. 7,130,821 (“the ’821 patent”) and 7,206,756 (“the ’756 patent”). The parties have provided the Court with briefing in the form of the plaintiffs’ opening claim construction brief (Dkt. No. 118), the defenda nts’ responsive claim construction brief (Dkt. No. 121), and the plaintiffs’ claim c onstruction reply brief (Dkt. No. 130).
