"To ascertain the meaning of claims, the court looks to three primary sources: the claims, the specification, and the prosecution history."

Has e.Digital establish that apparent treshold?

"Nonetheless, it is the function of the claims, not the specification, to set forth the limits of the patentee’s claims. Otherwise, there would be no need for claims."

I guess that would mean, the potential you see in a specification(functional description) would not allow the fit in other processes?

"Any reference to claim construction proceedings is limited to informing the jury of the definitions adopted by the Court."

Thanks sman....do you have a link to that info, I'd like to take a look at how much information is/was detailed by the judge.

What a judge concludes and what a defendant and plaintiff in real time exchange may be more revealing. That's why I mentioned the minutes of a hearing as being somewhat necessary to really get a handle on things.

Perhps there is nothing discussed at length during the hearing and 90% of the process is in the paper work that the judge reviews.

thanks
