DEFENDANTS’ MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE AND
SET BRIEFING SCHEDULE REGARDING DEFENDANTS’ MOTION FOR
SUMMARY JUDGMENT OF INDEFINITENESS
TeleCheck Services, Inc. ("TeleChecl<"), Electronic Clearing House, Inc.
("ECHO"), XpressChex, Inc. ("XpressChex") and Nova Information Systems, Inc.
("Nova") (collectively, "Defendants") hereby seek leave to file a Combined Motion for
Summary Judgment of Indefiniteness and Brief in Support. Leave of Court should be
permitted for at least the following reasons:
1. On November 21, 2005, after the deadline for filing summary judgment
motions in this action, the Federal Circuit issued an opinion in IPXL Holdings, L.L. C. v.
Amaz0n.c0m, Inc., No. 05-1009, 05-1487, 2005 WL 3097877 (Fed. Cir. Nov. 21, 2005),
which decided an issue of “first impression” before the Federal Circuit. IPXL at *7.
2. The IPXL holding provides an additional reason for a grant of summary
judgment of invalidity of certain asserted claims in the present case. Defendants submit
herewith a short (5-page) motion and brief showing why summary judgment on certain
claims is appropriate based on IPXL.
3. A ruling on indefiniteness under the IPXL holding would require no
additional discovery. Indetiniteness is a question of law. See IPXL, 2005 WL 3097877
at *3.

4. According to the Scheduling Order, oral argument on claim construction
and summary judgment motions is to take place on December 19, 2005. (D.I. 35.)
Defendants respectfully submit that the minimal briefing required for this additional
motion can be completed reasonably in advance of the scheduled hearing.
5. Under Defendants’ proposed briefing schedule, LML would have until
December 12, 2005 to file a Response. Defendants agree to submit a Reply of no more
than five pages within two business days of LML’s Response.
6. Accordingly, Defendants propose the following briefing schedule:
(a) Defendants’ Motion Filed November 30, 2005
(b) LML’s Response Due December 12, 2005
(c) Defendants’ Reply Due December 14, 2005
7. The timing proposed by Defendants would not affect the Scheduling
Order.
Defendants, therefore, seek leave to file the attached motion and seek entry of the
above briefing schedule.
