`
`MEMORANDUM ORDER
`
`
`
`Case No. 2:08-CV-98-RSP
`
`Before the Court is Defendants’ Motion to Strike the Supplemental Expert Report of J.
`
`Tipton Cole (Dkt. No. 282, filed February 17, 2012). Defendants seek to strike Mr. Cole’s
`
`supplemental expert report on infringement because it introduces a new opinion on infringement
`
`under the doctrine of equivalents. This opinion is allegedly improper because the doctrine of
`
`equivalents was not disclosed in CardSoft’s infringement contentions, and the expert does not properly
`
`apply the doctrine of equivalents. CardSoft argues that Mr. Cole’s supplemental report responds to
`
`non-infringement arguments that were not disclosed in Defendants’ interrogatory responses, and
`
`Defendants’ expert rebuttal report on infringement relies on theories that are foreclosed by the
`
`Court’s claim construction.
`
`Good cause does not exist for allowing the supplemental report. To the extent that
`
`Defendants’ expert offers previously undisclosed non-infringement positions, or advances
`
`opinions that are improper under the Court’s claim construction, such testimony or opinions will
`
`be excluded upon proper motion or objection at trial. CardSoft has already filed a motion to
`
`strike those opinions, and still has an opportunity to make objections at trial. Accordingly there
`
`is no good cause for the supplemental report. Defendants’ motion to strike is GRANTED.
