`
`IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
`FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS
`MARSHALL DIVISION
`
`
`
`ORDER MEMORIALIZING RULINGS FROM
`JANUARY 3, 2019 PRETRIAL HEARING
`
`On January 3, 2019, the Court held a pretrial hearing on certain motions in the above
`
`referenced case. This Order memorializes the Court’s rulings at that hearing.
`
`Defendants’ Motion for Partial Summary Judgment of Non-Infringement of the ’629 Patent
`
`(Dkt. No. 205) is DENIED.
`
`Defendants’ Motion for Partial Summary Judgment of Non-Infringement of the ’517 Patent
`
`(Dkt. No. 206) is DENIED.
`
`Defendants’ Motion for Partial Summary Judgment of No Willful Infringement (Dkt. No.
`
`207) is GRANTED-IN-PART and DENIED-IN-PART. The Court finds that, in this case,
`
`knowledge of the patent family is too attenuated to meet the threshold to give Defendants
`
`reasonable notice of the Patents-in-Suit as an underpinning to a potential willfulness finding.
`
`Accordingly, the Court GRANTS the Motion with regards to pre-suit willful infringement.
`
`However, once the Complaint was filed, Defendants were on notice as to the specific Patents-in-
`
`Suit and the Court DENIES the Motion with regards to post-suit willful infringement.
