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 supplemental claim construction ruling in this patent infringement case. This Court’s original claim construction (Dkt. No. 383) dealt with claims 1 and 2 of U.S. Patent No. 5,412,730 (“the ’730 patent”). During reexaminati on of the ’730 patent, TQP Development, LLC, added several dependent claims, which have been asserted in this action. This order addresses three phrases used in those new claims.
