Immersion Corporation v. HTC Corporation, et al., C.A. No. 12-259-RGA, February 11, 2015.

Andrews, J. The court considers 13 claim terms from four patents. A Markman hearing took place on November 25, 2014 with respect to some terms, and arguments relating to the remaining terms were submitted on the papers.

This case had been stayed from 4/12/12 to 5/1/13 due to an ITC investigation. The court now construes the following terms:

  1. Touch input device
  2. Touch screen
  3. Cursor
  4. Haptic sensation
  5. Haptic effect
  6. Force information
  7. Outputting a force directly on said touch input device
  8. Impart a first force directly to the touch screen
  9. At least one other region provides a signal that is used by said computer to control a different function
  10. At least one other non-overlapping control region not related to cursor positioning
