September 27, 2021 Filing 104 CLERK'S NOTICE RE: PRO HAC VICE APPLICATION OF NICHOLAS WYSS: The pro hac vice application of Attorney Nicholas Wyss Docket No: #103 is Denied for failing to comply with Civil Local Rule 11-3. That rule requires an applicant to certify that "he or she is an active member in good standing of the bar of a United States Court or of the highest court of another State or the District of Columbia, specifying such bar" (emphasis added). Filling out the pro hac vice form from the district court website such that it identifies only the state of bar membership e.g., "the bar of Texas" is inadequate under the rule because it fails to identify a specific court. The attached documentation is only for the State Bar and not the highest court of another State. While the application fee does not need to be paid again, the application cannot be processed until a corrected form is submitted. (This is a text-only entry generated by the court.

April 1, 2021 Filing 71 Minute Entry for proceedings held before Judge Alan D Albright. Markman Hearing held on 4/1/2021. Case called for Markman Hearing by Zoom. Parties announce ready. Defts begin with the plain and ordinary meaning of the term record[s/ed] and the term collect the visited geographic location data. Plaintiffs make counter arguments regarding the construction terms. Court orders that they will maintain their preliminary instruction and keep the plain and order meaning that the court previously determined. Plaintiff argues the term Detection Network Directory. Plaintiffs wishes to modify the courts preliminary instruction with (additional in ): A directory that stores and provides detection data reflecting the location of the location aware cellular phone. Court keeps their preliminary instruction and keeps the plain and ordinary meaning that the court previously determined. Plaintiffs move on to the term recordedusing a satellite-based location- fixing protocol and a detection network directory (704 Patent, claims 33, 46, 48). The defendants argue the word and in the portion of the term protocol and a detection. Court keeps their preliminary instruction as indicated on the record. The defendants argue final claim terms enable [e/ing] definition (543 Patent, claims 32, 39, 46-49, 51, 54, 72, 73, 75; 704 Patent, claims 33, 46, 48) and enable the user to define (543 Patent, claim 56). Defts argue that enable terms should be construed together. Plaintiffs argue that they court should uphold their prior determination of plain and ordinary meaning. Courts preliminary instruction of plain and ordinary meaning are affirmed. Court confirms that they already have a trial date set for January of next year but defts indicate a concern about the date. The parties are concerned because they were previously told trial would be 12 months after the markman but because the markman was twice rescheduled, that is no longer happening.
