ii. Construction of “ring oscillator” (’336, ’148, ’749, ’890)

In the prior Texas action, Judge Ward construed “ring oscillator” as “an oscillator having a

multiple, odd number of inversions arranged in a loop.” Chen Decl., Ex. 2 at 11. The parties‟

dispute turns primarily on whether the construction should incorporate statements made by TPL in

subsequent reexamination concerning the claimed “ring oscillator”:

Plaintiffs’ Construction:

An oscillator having a multiple, odd number of inversions arranged in a loop, wherein the oscillator is: (1) noncontrollable; and (2) variable based on the temperature, voltage, and process parameters in the environment.

TPL’s Construction:

An oscillator having a multiple, odd number of inversions arranged in a loop

Judge Grewal's Ruling:

an oscillator having a multiple, odd number of inversions arranged in a loop, wherein the oscillator is variable based on the temperature, voltage and process parameters in the environment

appears as a loss to me.. I will await Ease's take.. looks like we go to court..
