`
`And we understand that that means he can use the
`calculation and that our objection -- that it's based
`on something other than a profit margin assigned to the
`accused products is overruled.
`Could we ask for a continuing
`objection on that --
`THE COURT: Yes, of course.
`MR. JONES: -- without having to keep
`making it over and over again since it'll go on?
`THE COURT: Absolutely.
`MR. JONES: And the only other thing,
`Your Honor, I keep getting asked by my side is we made
`some objections to the claim construction, and I've
`told them we can assume that's overruled --
`THE COURT: Those are overruled. But you
`know what I had happen in the last trial and has
`happened in others is, if either of you -- I'm picking
`on you because you're up here.
`MR. JONES: Certainly.
`THE COURT: But if either side believes
`that what the expert, whether it's invalidity or
`infringement or noninfringement, is saying is something
`that is outside of what is -- what is correct under
`the -- under the Markman order, that -- or if there's
`even a debate about it, that can be raised throughout

`the trial.
`
`And in the last trial I had, we wound up
`doing -- and I've done that before -- a mini Markman
`to, you know, the -- surface level, the defendant was
`arguing that the constructions that had been rejected
`at the Markman when I said plain and ordinary meaning
`could still be -- that could be the plain and ordinary
`meaning. And so we had to take that up during the
`trial.
`
`So you all -- I'm not taking away your
`rights to object. If you hear -- or anyone's rights.
`If one of you hears the experts making a statement,
`there's infringement because of -- the claim
`construction says -- the Court says this and the other
`side thinks that's wrong, raise it and I'll be happy to
`take it up.
`
`MR. JONES: Thank you, Your Honor.
`THE COURT: But to the extent you had
`objections to my formal constructions, those are
`overruled.
`
`MR. JONES: Thank you for the ruling.
`Thank you for the guidance. Thank you, Your Honor.
`THE COURT: Anything else?
`MR. UNDERWOOD: Yes, Your Honor. Travis
`Underwood on behalf of LG.
