`
`
`AGIS SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT LLC,
`

`

`(LEAD CASE)
`
`JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
`
`
`
`










`
`
`PLAINTIFF AGIS SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT LLC’S OPPOSITION
`TO DEFENDANT HTC CORPORATION’S MOTIONS IN LIMINE NOS. 1-12
`
`Plaintiff AGIS Software Development LLC (“AGIS” or “Plaintiff”) hereby submits its
`
`opposition to Defendant HTC Corporation’s (“HTC” or “Defendant”) Motions in Limine (Dkt.
`
`151).
`
`I.
`
`MIL No. 1 To Exclude Any Non-Factual or Potentially Prejudicial Commentary
`Regarding HTC’s Nationality
`
`Agreed.
`
`II. MIL No. 2 To Exclude Any Argument or Testimony Concerning HTC Corp.’s Size,
`Wealth, Total Net Worth, Total Profits, and/or Ability to Pay Damages
`
`HTC’s motion should be denied because it is overly broad and would result in undue
`
`prejudice to AGIS. AGIS must reference HTC’s financial information related to the accused
`
`products for at least the purpose of proving damages. Indeed, several courts have held that
`
`financial data, including total revenues from accused products, is relevant and admissible in
`
`patent infringement actions. See, e.g., Finjan, Inc. v. Blue Coat Sys., Inc., No. 13-CV-03999-
`
`BLF, 2015 WL 4129193, at *4 (N. D. Cal. July 8, 2015) (citing Apple, Inc. v. Samsung Elecs.
`
`Co., No. 11–CV–01846–LHK, 2014 WL 549324, at *7 (N.D. Cal. Feb. 7, 2014)) (“As to
`
`
`
`
`
`

`

`Case 2:17-cv-00514-JRG Document 211 Filed 02/21/19 Page 2 of 19 PageID #: 18237
`
`acquisition costs for technology containing the accused features and total revenues for the
`
`accused products, however, that information is relevant and probative if properly apportioned.”);
`
`See id. (“Although it does not appear that Plaintiff’s expert . . . actually relies on accused
`
`product revenues for any part of her analysis, the Court will permit Plaintiff to use such revenues
`
`and acquisition valuations as a starting point for a properly apportioned royalty base.”).
`
`
`
`Moreover, HTC’s overall size, wealth, profits, and ability to pay damages are all relevant
`
`to its bargaining power, and should therefore be considered as part of factor 15 under Georgia-
`
`Pacific Corp. v. U.S. Plywood Corporation. See 318 F. Supp. 1116, 1140 (S.D.N.Y. 1970),
`
`modified sub nom. Georgia-Pac. Corp. v. U.S. Plywood-Champion Papers, Inc., 446 F.2d 295
`
`(2d Cir. 1971) (criticizing plaintiff’s royalty rate evidence where “[t]here is an absence of
`
`meaningful evidence about such obviously pertinent factors as the relative economic positions of
`
`the licensor and licensee at the time the particular royalty was negotiated, in terms of their
`
`respective bargaining strength and their competitive status inter se . . . .”) (emphasis added); see
`
`also id. at 1122 (“the Court must take into account the realities of the bargaining table”).
`
`HTC has not identified any prejudice that requires exclusion of opinions set forth in Mr.
`
`McAlexander’s report. HTC has provided a rebuttal expert report and will have an opportunity
`
`to depose Mr. McAlexander about his opinions. Mr. McAlexander will be so limited in his
`
`testimony. There is no prejudice to HTC that necessitates exclusion at this stage.
`
`Accordingly, HTC’s MIL No. 1 should be denied.
`
`III. MIL No. 3 To Exclude Any Argument or Testimony Regarding Google’s
`Confidential Source Code That Was Not Included in AGIS’s Infringement
`Contentions
`
`HTC’s motion should be denied because it would result in undue prejudice to AGIS,
`
`while HTC has not been prejudiced at all.

`
`

`

`Case 2:17-cv-00514-JRG Document 211 Filed 02/21/19 Page 3 of 19 PageID #: 18238
`
`HTC cannot argue that it was left to guess what would be accused until it received
`
`AGIS’s expert report; AGIS’s infringement theories were disclosed completely in its
`
`contentions. See, e.g., Exhibit A1 at 7, 9, 11-15, 17-19. While the theories are required to be
`
`disclosed in the contentions, each and every piece of evidence that might ultimately support that
`
`theory is not. Infringement contentions “are not intended to require a party to set forth a prima
`
`facie case of infringement and evidence in support thereof.” Realtime Data, LLC v. Packeteer,
`
`Inc., No. 6:08-CV-144, 2009 WL 2590101, at *5 (E.D. Tex. 2009) (“[I]nfringement contentions
`
`are intended to frame the scope of the case in order to provide for ‘full, timely discovery and [to]
`
`provide parties with adequate notice and information with which to litigate their case.’”) (citing
`
`Nike, Inc. v. Adidas Am. Inc., 479 F. Supp. 2d 664, 667 (E.D. Tex. 2007)). Here, HTC does not
`
`complain that AGIS failed to identify Android Device Manager and Google Maps in its
`
`infringement contentions, because it cannot. AGIS identified both of those features in its
`
`infringement contentions as early as January 19, 2018. AGIS specifically identified the portions
`
`of software responsible for performing each claimed step. See, e.g., Exhibit A at 12-14. HTC
`
`argues simply that AGIS did not identify every piece of evidence on which its expert would
`
`ultimately rely in its contentions. There is no such requirement.
`
`HTC’s reliance on the Discovery Order is misplaced. The Discovery Order permits a
`
`plaintiff to defer its P.R. 3-1 disclosures until 30 days after source code is produced in the event
`
`that the claim element is a software element. Here, AGIS did not defer its infringement
`
`contentions pursuant to this provision of the discovery order; it disclosed its theories without
`
`reliance on this provision. Instead, AGIS identified the specific elements of software that meet
`
`each claim limitation.
`
`
`1 Excerpts from AGIS’s Disclosure of Asserted Claims and Infringement Contentions, served
`on January 19, 2018, are attached hereto as Exhibit A.

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
` Notably,
`
`HTC did not move to strike Mr. McAlexander’s expert report or to argue that Mr. McAlexander
`
`had exceeded the scope of AGIS’s contentions, because he did not. HTC should not be
`
`permitted to eliminate large swaths of Mr. McAlexander’s report in limine.
`
`HTC cannot preclude AGIS’s expert from identifying additional evidence in support of
`
`previously-disclosed infringement theories. Indeed, “[t]he Patent Rules intend to strike a balance
`
`of providing fair notice to defendants without requiring unrealistic, overly factual contentions
`
`from plaintiffs, but the burden of notice the Patent Rules place on plaintiffs is intended to be a
`
`shield for defendants, not a sword.” Id. at 818 (emphasis added). HTC cannot use them as a
`
`sword here where it has clearly not been prejudiced.
`
`Accordingly, HTC’s MIL No. 3 should be denied.

`Case 2:17-cv-00514-JRG Document 211 Filed 02/21/19 Page 5 of 19 PageID #: 18240
`
`IV. MIL No. 4 To Exclude AGIS’s Argument or Testimony Regarding Google Source
`Code That Was Produced After HTC Corp.’s Expert Served His Rebuttal Report
`
`HTC’s motion should be denied for the reasons discussed in AGIS’s opposition to HTC’s
`
`MIL No. 3.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
` To the extent HTC was
`
`prejudiced by these late productions by its co-defendants, AGIS was as well.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`V. MIL No. 5 To Exclude AGIS Argument or Testimony About Joint Infringement
`
`HTC’s motion should be denied. The proper place for HTC to raise this argument would
`
`have been in a Daubert motion or a motion to strike regarding AGIS’s expert Joseph
`
`McAlexander’s testimony, which HTC has not filed. Mr. McAlexander’s testimony at trial will
`
`be limited to the topics in his expert report. HTC may cross-examine him at trial, but further
`
`limitation is unwarranted and improper.
`
`In any event, HTC was clearly on notice of AGIS’s intention to argue joint infringement.
`
`First, HTC acknowledges that AGIS’s preliminary infringement contentions include “jointly-
`
`
`
`5
`
`

`

`Case 2:17-cv-00514-JRG Document 211 Filed 02/21/19 Page 6 of 19 PageID #: 18241
`
`and-directly infringing.” HTC’s Mots. in Limine Nos. 1-12 at 7 n.5.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
` Moreover, HTC’s motion is overly broad in seeking to exclude any such
`
`argument or testimony about joint infringement, and doing so at this stage would unduly
`
`prejudice AGIS.
`
`Accordingly, HTC’s MIL No. 5 should be denied.
`
`VI. MIL No. 6 To Exclude AGIS’s Expert’s Testimony About Nondisclosed Doctrine of
`Equivalents Theories
`
`HTC’s motion is baseless. First, AGIS’s infringement contentions put HTC on notice of
`
`AGIS’s doctrine of equivalents theories. See, e.g., HTC Exhibit 7 at 1, 16, 17-18. Mr.
`
`McAlexander’s expert report did as well, which HTC’s citation clearly demonstrates. See HTC’s
`
`Mots. in Limine Nos. 1-12 at 8.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
` In
`
`compliance with Rule 26(a)(2) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Mr. McAlexander has his
`
`opinions and the basis and reasons for them. On the other hand, in support of its argument for
`
`
`2 Excerpts of the Expert Report of Joseph C. McAlexander III Regarding Infringement of U.S.
`Patent Numbers: 8,213,970; 9,408,055; 9,445,251; and 9,467,838 (“McAlexander Report”)
`are attached hereto as Exhibit B.

`

`

`Case 2:17-cv-00514-JRG Document 211 Filed 02/21/19 Page 7 of 19 PageID #: 18242
`
`exclusion, HTC merely quotes an inapplicable case that granted summary judgment and
`
`determined that the doctrine of equivalents did not overcome the decision of non-infringement.
`
`See Moore U.S.A., Inc. v. Standard Register Co., 229 F.3d 1091, 1112-13 (Fed. Cir. 2000).
`
`Moreover, to the extent HTC takes issue with the merits of any of AGIS’s infringement
`
`theories, HTC can address them at trial. ROY-G-BIV Corp. v. ABB, Ltd., 63 F. Supp. 3d 690, 700
`
`(E.D. Tex. 2014) (“Most of [defendant’s] arguments appear to implicate the merits of
`
`[plaintiff’s] infringement theories rather than the scope or [plaintiff’s] infringement contentions,
`
`and are therefore better handled at trial than through a motion to strike.”); see also Moore U.S.A.,
`
`at 1105 (“While claim construction is a question of law, infringement, whether literal or under
`
`the doctrine of equivalents, is a question of fact.”) (emphasis added) (citations omitted).
`
`Indeed, this Court has ordered that “[t]he parties shall limit their motions in limine to issues that
`
`if improperly introduced at trial would be so prejudicial that the Court could not alleviate the
`
`prejudice by giving appropriate instructions to the jury.” Docket Control Order, Dkt. No. 85 at
`
`2.
`
` Accordingly, HTC’s MIL No. 6 should be denied.
`
`VII. MIL No. 7 To Exclude AGIS’s Experts or AGIS From Referring to Component
`Supplier or Carrier Contracts
`
`HTC’s motion should be denied because it is overly broad and would result in undue
`
`prejudice to AGIS. This overbroad attempt to exclude evidence regarding HTC’s business is
`
`premature. HTC does not deny that such evidence is relevant; it only argues that AGIS has not
`
`sought or obtained discovery on any contracts between HTC and its component suppliers or
`
`carriers, and that AGIS’s experts have not opined on such relationships. “Evidence should not
`
`be excluded in limine unless it is clearly inadmissible on all potential grounds.” Orchestrate HR,
`
`Inc. v. Trombetta, No. 3:13-CV-2110-KS, 2017 WL 273669, at *1 (N.D. Tex. Jan. 20, 2017).

`
`

`

`Case 2:17-cv-00514-JRG Document 211 Filed 02/21/19 Page 8 of 19 PageID #: 18243
`
`Moreover, as discussed above, this Court has ordered the parties to “limit their motions in limine
`
`to issues that if improperly introduced at trial would be so prejudicial that the Court could not
`
`alleviate the prejudice by giving appropriate instructions to the jury.” Docket Control Order,
`
`Dkt. No. 85 at 2. HTC has failed to explain how it would be prejudiced by such testimony and
`
`certainly has not shown that any alleged prejudice here could not be alleviated with an
`
`appropriate instruction at trial. Further, to exclude this evidence at this stage would unduly
`
`prejudice AGIS as it attempts to set forth its case.
`
` Accordingly, HTC’s MIL No. 7 should be denied.
`
`VIII. MIL No. 8 To Exclude AGIS’s Reliance
`
`
`
`HTC’s motion should be denied because it is based on flatly inaccurate statements.
`
`Moreover, the documents HTC seeks to exclude are relevant and to exclude them would
`
`prejudice AGIS.
`
`HTC did not require AGIS to produce them in order to form or analyze any potential defenses.
`
`-
`
` Therefore,
`
`
`
`-
`
`
`
`-
`
`
`
` Regardless, the fact that the documents were not produced directly to HTC
`
`does not preclude their admission at trial. See, e.g., C.R. Bard, Inc. v. M3 Sys., Inc., No. 93 C
`
`4788, 1994 WL 270252, at *4 (N.D. Ill. June 16, 1994) (“Despite M3 System’s untimely
`
`production of damages documents, the evidence is not excluded.”).
`
`
`3 Excerpts of the Rebuttal Expert Report Regarding Damages of W. Christopher Bakewell,
`dated January 11, 2019 (“Bakewell Rebuttal Report”) are attached hereto as Exhibit C.

`

`Case 2:17-cv-00514-JRG Document 211 Filed 02/21/19 Page 9 of 19 PageID #: 18244
`
`Additionally, despite HTC’s assertions, the third-party licenses are relevant. Even if, as
`
`HTC suggests, the licenses are not comparable, they may still be relevant. See, e.g., PalTalk
`
`Holdings, Inc. v. Microsoft Corp., No. 2:06-CV-367 (DF), 2009 WL 10677719, at *2 (E.D. Tex.
`
`Mar. 8, 2009) (“Microsoft has also asked this Court, in a motion in limine, to exclude any
`
`argument or evidence related to non-comparable license agreements. As stated above non-
`
`comparable agreements may be relevant to a reasonable royalty assessment under Georgia–
`
`Pacific; specifically, such agreement may be relevant under Geogia–Pacific Factor 3. As a
`
`result, Microsoft’s motion in limine . . . is denied.”).
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`IX. MIL No. 9 To Exclude Inventor’s Testimony on Issues He Refused to Testify on
`During His Corporate Deposition
`
`HTC’s motion should be denied because it is overly broad and would result in undue
`
`prejudice to AGIS. HTC accuses AGIS and Mr. Beyer of “gamesmanship,” however, HTC
`
`ignores the reality of Mr. Beyer’s testimony in view of the Defendants’ malformed questions.
`
`Mr. Beyer, a nearly 80-year-old witness, sat for two full days of deposition on numerous
`
`deposition topics. Mr. Beyer is the named inventor on nearly twenty patents and hundreds of
`
`claims, most of which are not asserted in this case.

`Case 2:17-cv-00514-JRG Document 211 Filed 02/21/19 Page 12 of 19 PageID #: 18247
`
`
`
`
`
`The prejudice that would result if Mr. Beyer were precluded from testifying is clear.
`
`“Patents are written not for laymen, but for and by persons experienced in the field of the
`
`invention. An inventor is a competent witness to explain the invention and what was intended to
`
`be conveyed by the specification and covered by the claims. The testimony of the inventor may
`
`also provide background information, including explanation of the problems that existed at the
`
`time the invention was made and the inventor’s solution to these problems.” Voice Techs. Grp.,
`
`Inc. v. VMC Sys., Inc., 164 F.3d 605, 615 (Fed. Cir. 1999). Mr. Beyer’s testimony is necessary
`
`for AGIS to present its case in chief at trial and exclusion of his testimony would be extremely
`
`detrimental and unfairly prejudicial to AGIS. In comparison, HTC will not be prejudiced
`
`because it will be able to cross-examine Mr. Beyer on any topic on which he testifies.
`
`Accordingly, Mr. Beyer should be permitted to testify at trial and HTC’s MIL No. 9
`
`should be denied.
`
`X. MIL No. 10 To Exclude Any Reference To Any Expert’s Prior Work With HTC’s
`Lawyers Or Retention By Perkins Coie LLP
`
`HTC’s motion should be denied because it is overly broad and would result in undue
`
`prejudice to AGIS. HTC argues that such evidence is both irrelevant and, even if relevant,
`
`unfairly prejudicial to HTC. However, the evidence is clearly relevant to the credibility of an
`
`expert. An expert’s prior expert testimony is a topic of inquiry in nearly any litigation, including
`
`patent litigation. Moreover, there is no risk of prejudice to HTC from this evidence. As one
`
`court indicated, “[t]he fact that Storace [(the expert)] was hired by Club Car in a past case does
`
`not mean his testimony on behalf of KF in the present case is unfairly prejudicial to Club Car.
`
`Club Car may make clear through cross-examination that it does not endorse Storace’s testimony
`
`
`
`12
`
`

`

`Case 2:17-cv-00514-JRG Document 211 Filed 02/21/19 Page 13 of 19 PageID #: 18248
`
`in the present case and that Storace did not receive any detailed information regarding the Club
`
`Car’s braking system through his past employment. Club Car may also clarify that Storace has
`
`never been used by Club Car as an expert of Club Car’s braking system.” Perez-Garcia v.
`
`Puerto Rico Ports Auth., No. 08-1448 (GAG), 2012 WL 12552257, at *2 (D.P.R. July 5, 2012)
`
`(denying same motion in limine).
`
`The cases relied on by HTC in support of this motion are inapposite. Neither involved a
`
`motion in limine prior to trial. See United States v. Pipkins, 528 F.2d 559 (5th Cir. 1976)
`
`(holding that attorney-client privilege did not attach to testimony of handwriting expert
`
`previously employed by defense counsel); Peterson v. Willie, 81 F.3d 1033 (11th Cir. 1996)
`
`(affirming judgment in favor of defendants on appeal). Moreover, in Peterson, the court
`
`acknowledged that “there may be situations where this fact [that the expert has been previously
`
`retained by the opposing party or its counsel] should be disclosed to a jury.” 81 F.3d at 1038.
`
`Accordingly, a blanket preclusion of this evidence would be inappropriate and MIL No. 10
`
`should be denied.
`
`XI. MIL No. 11 To Exclude Any Reference To An Earlier Priority Date Based On
`Alleged Conception And/Or Reduction To Practice
`
`HTC’s motion should be denied because it is overly broad and would result in undue
`
`prejudice to AGIS. However, even if Apple did prevail on this issue at summary judgment,5
`
`evidence of events that occurred prior to that date would still be admissible at trial. Such
`
`evidence would be relevant to the history and story of the patents. The probative value of this
`
`invention story evidence would be high, while there would be no risk of unfair prejudice or
`

`

`

`

`Case 2:17-cv-00514-JRG Document 211 Filed 02/21/19 Page 14 of 19 PageID #: 18249
`
`confusion because the issue of the correct priority date would no longer be an issue for the jury
`
`to decide. Accordingly, HTC’s MIL No. 11 should be denied.
`
`XII. MIL No. 12 To Exclude Any Argument or Testimony Concerning
`
`
`
`
`HTC’s motion should be denied because it is premature and would result in undue
`
`prejudice to AGIS. This attempt to exclude evidence regarding HTC’s business is premature.
`
`Moreover, HTC’s unsupported statement that such evidence is “irrelevant” does not make it so.
`
`See HTC’s Mots. in Limine Nos. 1-12 at 15. “Evidence should not be excluded in limine unless
`
`it is clearly inadmissible on all potential grounds.” Orchestrate HR, Inc. v. Trombetta, No. 3:13-
`
`CV-2110-KS, 2017 WL 273669, at *1 (N.D. Tex. Jan. 20, 2017). “Because the relevance of
`
`evidence often depends on what happens at trial, that standard is particularly difficult to meet
`
`when asserting a relevance objection.” Sec. & Exch. Comm’n v. Ferrone, 163 F. Supp. 3d 549,
`
`563 (N.D. Ill. 2016).
`
`
`
`
`
` See, e.g., id. (“[E]videntiary rulings related to
`
`relevance are best deferred until trial so that they can be resolved in the proper context.”).
`
`Indeed, as discussed above, the parties must “limit their motions in limine to issues that if
`
`improperly introduced at trial would be so prejudicial that the Court could not alleviate the
`
