It is my understanding and belief that the Claims Construction Order of Dec. 5 is now to be considered final based on the following:

One day after the Court’s December 5, 2012 Claim Construction Order (877 Doc. 381), Plaintiff HTC indicated that it intended to file a motion seeking additional claim construction. HTC reaffirmed its intention to file such a motion

approximately ten days later. Accordingly, TPL understood that the Court’s claim construction would not be considered “final” until resolution of HTC’s motion for further construction; thus, the time for the final infringement contentions had not begun to run. After learning of TPL’s position, on December 21, 2012 (i.e., today’s date), HTC informed TPL that it had decided not to file a motion for further claim construction – but would instead address those issues in

connection with summary judgment motions.
