`
`PLAINTIFF TOUCHSTREAM TECHNOLOGIES, INC.’S MOTIONS IN LIMINE
`
`Plaintiff Touchstream Technologies, Inc. (“Touchstream”) hereby moves the Court for an
`
`order in limine to preclude any attorney or witness from (1) making any reference, mention,
`
`statement, suggestion, or allusion to, (2) giving any testimony concerning, or (3) introducing any
`
`exhibits before the jury or panel concerning any of the following matters.

`Case 2:23-cv-00059-JRG Document 194 Filed 09/11/24 Page 2 of 15 PageID #: 10320
`
`
`
`MIL NO. 1: Motion to Exclude Evidence and Argument Using Marketing Materials to
`Define Claim Scope
`
`Charter should be excluded from arguing or offering into evidence any marketing materials
`
`or marketplace language used to describe Touchstream’s product for purposes of defining claim
`
`scope. Any argument or evidence of this is excluded under the Court’s MIL No. 18, is not relevant,
`
`and is highly prejudicial to Touchstream.
`
`Touchstream produced a plethora of marketing materials in this case. These materials
`
`include various emails, articles, descriptions on public websites, statements made in video
`
`demonstrations, and more. Charter included many of these documents on its exhibit list, including
`
`at least:
`
`• TS_COMCAST_0092875
`• TS_COMCAST_00085948
`• TS_COMCAT_00074440
`• TS_COMCAST_00091246
`• TS_COMCAST_00090069
`• TS_CHARTER_00065853
`• TS_CHARTER_00065854
`
`• TS_CHARTER_00065855
`• TS_CHARTER_00018225
`• TS_CHARTER_00024624
`• TS_CHARTER_00075498
`• TS_COMCAST_00024848
`• COM_00105419
`
`Additionally, Charter has designated testimony from various fact witnesses discussing business
`
`development efforts and how the witnesses would have described Touchstream’s product
`
`offerings. For example, Charter has designated the following testimony:
`
`• Ex. A, Lulla Dep. Tr. at 21:15-19.
`• Ex. A, Lulla Dep. Tr. at 23:6-24:4.
`• Ex. B, Rinzler Dep. Tr. at 40:17-42:4.
`
`At instance, in depositions in this case, Charter asked witnesses everal times to confirm that
`
`Touchstream advertised its technology as
`
`
`
` See, e.g., Ex. E, Strober Dep. Tr. at 24:19-25:7. Charter thus appears poised to
`
`use such marketing language to try to confuse the jury into thinking it is a limitation of the patent
`
`claims that an infringing solution cannot use wires or boxes. Such argument and evidence should
`
`2
`
`

`

`Case 2:23-cv-00059-JRG Document 194 Filed 09/11/24 Page 3 of 15 PageID #: 10321
`
`
`
`be excluded under FRE 403. It is clear that Charter intends to offer these documents and testimony
`
`into evidence for the purpose of differentiating its Accused Products by comparing them to
`
`Touchstream’s commercial embodiments and marketing statements about the same. This is
`
`improper for several reasons.
`
`First, exclusion of evidence and argument of marketplace language is consistent with this
`
`Court’s standing MIL No. 18, which states: “[t]he parties shall be precluded from introducing
`
`evidence, testimony, or argument for purposes of infringement or non-infringement comparing the
`
`accused product or method to the preferred embodiments, the specification, or any non-accused
`
`product or method.” See 08-11-2023 Patent Standing Order on Motions in Limine at 3. Charter’s
`
`initial exhibit list demonstrates its intent to offer statements from Touchstream’s employees and
`
`agents to describe the patented invention. But arguments comparing Charter’s Accused
`
`Functionalities with embodiments of Touchstream’s technologies risks confusing the jury about
`
`the issues they must decide.
`
`Second, it is well established under Federal Circuit law that such comparisons are irrelevant
`
`and prejudicial in a jury trial on infringement. See, e.g., Markman v. Westview Instruments, Inc.,
`
`517 U.S. 370, 373, 116 S. Ct. 1384, 1388, 134 L. Ed. 2d 577 (1996) (“The claim ‘define[s] the
`
`scope of a patent grant’”) (citing 3 E. Lipscomb, Walker on Patents § 11:1, pp. 280 (3d ed. 1985));
`
`B.E. Wallace Prod. Corp. v. United States, 26 Cl. Ct. 490, 495 (1992) (“claims are not to be
`
`construed using the patentee’s commercial product”) (citing ACS Hosp. Sys., Inc. v. Montefiore
`
`Hospital, 732 F.2d 1572, 1578 (Fed. Cir. 1984)). Such evidence and argument are not relevant to
`
`infringement, invalidity, or damages under FED. R. EVID. 402 and are highly prejudicial to
`
`Touchstream under FED. R. EVID. 403. The jury may be misled into believing that marketing
`
`materials provide insight into Touchstream’s patented technology, or that statements about non-
`
`3
`
`

`

`Case 2:23-cv-00059-JRG Document 194 Filed 09/11/24 Page 4 of 15 PageID #: 10322
`
`
`
`accused Touchstream products accurately depict or somehow limit the scope of the Asserted
`
`Claims. Neither is true, and allowing evidence and arguments as such would misrepresent the
`
`proper evaluation for the jury to determine infringement. See, e.g., Arthrex, Inc. v. Smith & Nephew,
`
`Inc., No. 2:15-CV-01047-RSP, 2016 WL 7049397, at *4 (E.D. Tex. Dec. 5, 2016) (denying
`
`defendant’s motion for summary judgment and rejecting defendant’s argument that plaintiff’s
`
`“marketing efforts affect the scope of patent claims”).
`
`Nor were these statements directed to a technical audience who could be considered
`
`persons of ordinary skill in the art. For example, many of the marketing materials implicated in
`
`this Motion were created or include statements from persons such as Touchstream CEO Herb
`
`Mitschele or inventor David Strober. Neither of these individuals are, or claim to be, experts in
`
`patents; they were merely describing the technology in layman’s terms to a lay audience. See, e.g.,
`
`Strober Dep. Tr. at 70:1-72:11 (“[f]or marketing purposes, this was an accurate way of explaining
`
`to nontechnical people what we do”); id. (“at the time when we [wrote] this, it was trying to explain
`
`technical and new ways of doing things to an audience that may not be technical and may not
`
`understand the new way of doing it”); id. (“the purpose of explaining this to someone that’s
`
`nontechnical, I think, this was as – the best we could do to explain that at the time.”); see also id.,
`
`at 74:13-75:20 (explaining that “my response would change on who I was talking to and how I
`
`responded”).
`
`
`
`Additionally, exclusion of these materials, which are irrelevant to Charter’s claims and
`
`defenses, would not be prejudicial to Charter. As explained in Touchstream’s Motion to Strike Dr.
`
`Shamos’s “Three Anys” opinions, Touchstream’s marketing statements about its own products
`
`and non-descript “patented technology” are irrelevant to damages or any other issue. Dkt. 94.

`
`
`
`
`
`Touchstream requests the Court exclude the use of marketing materials and marketplace
`
`language by Charter in this manner, and all arguments relating to the same.
`
`MIL NO. 2: Motion to Exclude Evidence and Argument that Touchstream was Ineffective
`at Business, or the Like
`
`Charter’s pretrial disclosures include evidence and argument that Touchstream was
`
`ineffective and unsuccessful in its business ventures. For example, Charter has designated
`
`numerous lines of disparaging testimony from the deposition transcripts of various fact witnesses:
`
`• Ex. A, Lulla Dep. Tr. at 15:7-16:5 (discussing why Lulla felt Touchstream
`). Ex. A, Lulla Dep. Tr.
`• Ex. A Lulla Dep. Tr. at 62:23-63:20 (discussing
`efforts).
`
` business development
`
`
`
`Charter also included exhibits on its exhibit list such as:
`
`• TS_CHARTER_00070966
`• TS_COMCAST_00074440
`• TS_COMCAST_00090069
`• CHARTER_TS0060069
`• CHARTER_TS0060042
`
`• TS_CHARTER_00081834
`• TS_COMCAST_00091246
`• TS_CHARTER_00075498
`• CHARTER_TS0060117
`
`
`These lines of testimony and documents appear aimed to portray Touchstream’s attempts to
`
`develop business in a disparaging way. But this evidence and argument is not relevant under FRE
`
`402 to issues of infringement or validity, nor is it helpful for damages. Further, allowing this
`
`evidence and argument in at trial would be highly prejudicial to Touchstream under FRE 403.
`
`This Court’s MIL No. 11 states, “The parties shall be precluded from introducing evidence,
`
`testimony, or argument referring to any other person or entity in disparaging ways,” beyond
`
`referring to a party as a “non-practicing entity.” 08-11-2023 Patent Standing Order on Motions in
`
`Limine at 3. Documents and testimony that Touchstream was ineffective, unsuccessful, or the like
`
`at business would disparage Touchstream and therefore be subject to this MIL. The jury may be
`
`unfairly prejudiced against Touchstream and may be persuaded that simply because a party’s
`
`5
`
`

`

`Case 2:23-cv-00059-JRG Document 194 Filed 09/11/24 Page 6 of 15 PageID #: 10324
`
`
`
`business was unsuccessful, that party should not be awarded a valid patent or that its patent rights
`
`cannot be infringed.
`
`In addition, such evidence and argument are not relevant to damages. Damages theories
`
`necessarily assume that the patent-in-suit is valid and enforceable, that the alleged infringer has
`
`infringed, and that the parties are willing negotiators at a hypothetical negotiation. See, e.g., Lucent
`
`Techs., Inc. v. Gateway, Inc., 580 F.3d 1301, 1325 (Fed. Cir. 2009). Disparagement of
`
`Touchstream’s business, or its product, would not be relevant to either party’s state of mind at the
`
`hypothetical negotiation, or to any of the Georgia-Pacific factors. Indeed, the only use for
`
`documents and testimony showing that Touchstream was ineffective at business is to disparage
`
`Touchstream in front of the jury, which would be improperly prejudicial under FRE 403.
`
`DataTreasury Corp. v. Wells Fargo & Co., No. 2:06-CV-72 DF, 2010 WL 11538713, at *5-6
`
`(E.D. Tex. Feb. 26, 2010) (excluding testimony regarding business failures or successes). The jury
`
`may believe that Touchstream’s unsuccessful business endeavors should limit its recovery, or
`
`worse, prevent Touchstream from recovering at all. Accordingly, any evidence or argument to the
`
`like should be excluded.
`
`For at least the above reasons, the Court should exclude evidence and argument that
`
`Touchstream was ineffective at business, or the like.
`
`MIL NO. 3: Motion To Exclude Prior Art References Only Disclosed In An Expert Report
`As “State Of The Art”
`
`Charter appears ready to offer to the jury 41 references that are not disclosed invalidity
`
`combinations. This would confuse the jury and should be precluded at trial. Charter’s technical
`
`expert provided 157 pages of material in his invalidity report on these references for the “historical
`
`development of the state of the art,” many of which were not disclosed in Charter’s invalidity
`
`6
`
`

`

`Case 2:23-cv-00059-JRG Document 194 Filed 09/11/24 Page 7 of 15 PageID #: 10325
`
`
`
`contentions. Moreover, almost all of them are patents or patent applications, heightening the risk
`
`these references will invite the jury to confuse them with Charter’s elected invalidity theories.
`
`Providing a morass of patents under the pretense of describing the state of the art is
`
`improper. While there is a place for demonstrating what a person of skill in the art would have
`
`known at the time of the invention, courts preclude parties from offering them where they serve
`
`no true purpose in illuminating that state of the art. Better Mouse Co., LLC v. SteelSeries ApS, No.
`
`2:14-CV-198-RSP, 2016 WL 3611560, at *1 (E.D. Tex. Jan. 5, 2016) (“[T]he Court has often
`
`barred parties from using unelected references to discuss the state of the art when the use of those
`
`references risks juror confusion.”). This appears to be the case here. Where the accused infringer
`
`offers such a high number of prior art references, it carries an even more acute risk of juror
`
`confusion, as the sheer number of references all but guarantees improper application of those
`
`references as invalidity combinations. Maxell, Ltd. v. Apple Inc., No. 5:19-CV-00036-RWS, 2021
`
`WL 3021253, at *6 (E.D. Tex. Feb. 26, 2021) (“The Court is unable to determine a specific, limited
`
`purpose for which more than 50 patents and patent applications may be used other than to invite
`
`the jury to improperly consider them as evidence of invalidity.”).
`
`To be sure, Charter has not elected to pursue these references as its invalidity combinations,
`
`and its expert did not provide any claim-by-claim analysis of how they would allegedly invalidate
`
`the Asserted Patents. Ex. C, Shamos Dep. Tr. 167:25-169:5. Charter has no real purpose in offering
`
`these references at trial, and they will only risk confusing the jury on the actual invalidity theories
`
`Charter advances at trial.
`
`The Court should preclude Charter from offering testimony or evidence on prior art
`
`references it only disclosed through its expert’s report’s state of the art section.

`
`
`
`MIL NO. 4: Motion to Exclude Evidence and Argument Regarding Ownership or
`Financial Interests in Touchstream
`
`
`
`Touchstream anticipates that Charter may attempt to elicit testimony or introduce argument
`
`on the identities of Touchstream’s shareholders and their respective interests. Aside from showing
`
`potential witness bias, there is no probative value to such evidence and argument; it will not help
`
`the jury determine whether Charter infringed the patents at issue and should be excluded under
`
`Rules 402 and 403 as irrelevant and unduly prejudicial.
`
`In the past, Charter has attempted (and failed) to obtain materials identifying individuals
`
`with a financial interest in Touchstream. (See Dkt. No. 68 at 2 (Order denying Comcast’s motion
`
`to compel) (Defendants served discovery requests for “[d]ocuments sufficient to identify any party
`
`with a financial interest in [Plaintiff] or [Plaintiff’s] activities, including any formal or informal
`
`profit–sharing agreement(s), arrangement(s) or understanding(s) concerning any litigation relating
`
`to any of the Patents–in–Suit” and interrogatories requesting Plaintiff to “[i]dentify all persons that
`
`hold a financial interest in [Plaintiff], the asserted patents, or this litigation, including any
`
`individuals identified in [Plaintiff’s] initial disclosures and any potential or actual witnesses in this
`
`case (whether deposition, trial or otherwise, and the extent and nature of each such person’s
`
`financial interests.”)).
`
`While Touchstream identified several of its shareholders that were specifically listed as
`
`potential witnesses, it refused to produce irrelevant ownership interests, and the Court accordingly
`
`denied further requests to produce additional information concerning those with financial interests
`
`on relevance grounds. (Id. at 6). Specifically, the Court found that Comcast “failed to demonstrate
`
`that the identities of any persons with a Financial Interest are relevant to this case.” (Id. at 4–5).
`
`Likewise, at trial, evidence and argument concerning Touchstream’s stakeholders is
`
`irrelevant. Touchstream recognizes that such evidence showing any ownership of the company
`
`8
`
`

`

`Case 2:23-cv-00059-JRG Document 194 Filed 09/11/24 Page 9 of 15 PageID #: 10327
`
`
`
`for witnesses testifying in the case may be permissible for the narrow and limited purpose of
`
`showing potential bias. However, introducing ownership information about other individuals not
`
`present in the courtroom would likely confuse the jury, waste time, and be unfairly prejudicial to
`
`Touchstream.
`
`For instance, the jury may be misled that Touchstream’s stakeholders––not Touchstream–
`
`–own this litigation. See United States v. Sain, 141 F.3d 463, 474 (3d Cir. 1998) (“[A corporation]
`
`is a separate legal entity, with an existence independent of individuals who compose it. A
`
`corporation is not in reality a person, but the law regards it as distinct and separate from the
`
`individual stockholders. It has a real existence with rights and liabilities as a separate legal entity.”)
`
`(citations omitted).
`
`Nor should Charter be permitted to introduce such evidence to argue for lower damages
`
`based on how money may be ultimately distributed within Touchstream. Such an argument has
`
`no relevance to damages and could only serve to confuse and mislead the jury. (See, e.g., MV3
`
`Partners, LLC v. Roku, Inc., No. 18-cv00308-ADA, Dkt. No. 332 at 2 (W.D. Tex. Sept. 29, 2020)
`
`(granting Plaintiff’s motion in limine No. 1 to exclude references to “how or to whom a damages
`
`award to [Plaintiff] may be distributed, including its members’ ownership interests”); see also
`
`Rembrandt Wireless Techs. LP v. Samsung Elecs. Co., No. 2:13-cv-213-JRG-RSP, 2015 WL
`
`627430, at *3 (E.D. Tex. Jan. 31, 2015) (granting motion in limine as to “individuals with an
`
`ownership interest in [plaintiff] (e.g., shareholders)”).
`
`To properly focus the trial on those issues that are directly relevant to this lawsuit and
`
`prevent undue prejudice, the Court should preclude Charter from introducing evidence or argument
`
`concerning witnesses’ ownership interests for any purpose other than to show potential bias. If
`
`Charter intends to elicit such evidence to show potential bias, the Court should require Charter to
`

`
`
`
`make a specific showing, outside the presence of the jury, that such evidence will be introduced to
`
`show bias and not for any impermissible purpose.
`
`MIL NO. 5: Motion to Exclude Arguments or Evidence of Touchstream’s Alleged Delay in
`Filing Suit
`
`The timing of Touchstream’s decision to file suit against Charter, including any alleged
`
`delay in filing, is not probative of any issue in this case and risks confusing the jury. Further, any
`
`such evidence would be a transparent attempt to backdoor a laches defense into the jury trial,
`
`despite the Supreme Court holding that laches is no longer a viable defense in patent cases and
`
`laches was never a jury issue to begin with. See SCA Hygiene Prod. Aktiebolag v. First Quality
`
`Baby Prod., LLC, 580 U.S. 328, 331-32 (2017). The Court should exclude this evidence under
`
`Rules 402 and 403.
`
`
`
`Evidence of Touchstream's alleged delay in filing suit is irrelevant and runs afoul of the
`
`patent statute under Supreme Court precedent. The Supreme Court held that Congress already
`
`mandated that the sole remedy for delay in filing suit is a six-year damages window, leaving no
`
`“gap” for “gap-filling” equitable defenses like laches to operate. See id. at 961. Here, Touchstream
`
`does not seek damages for any infringement occurring more than six years before Touchstream
`
`filed suit. Any evidence of Touchstream's alleged delay is therefore not probative on damages. See
`
`ExmarkMfg. Co. Inc. v. Briggs & Stratton Power Prod. Grp., LLC, 879 F.3d 1332, 1352 (Fed. Cir.
`
`2018) (affirming the district court's decision to exclude evidence of delay in filing suit because
`
`“the argument that delay in bringing suit somehow establishes [plaintiff's] perception of the value
`
`of its invention is specious”) (internal citations omitted).
`
`Any evidence Charter may offer of alleged delay is also irrelevant and highly prejudicial
`
`to Touchstream’s claim of infringement and willfulness because it impermissibly invites the jury
`
`to balance Charter’s conduct against Touchstream's actions. But the focus of the infringement and
`
`10
`
`

`

`Case 2:23-cv-00059-JRG Document 194 Filed 09/11/24 Page 11 of 15 PageID #: 10329
`
`
`
`willfulness inquiries does not depend on the conduct of the party charging infringement. Rather,
`
`it depends on the accused infringer's conduct, as infringement is a strict liability offense, and
`
`willfulness is about an infringer's knowledge, beliefs, and actions.
`
`Evidence of alleged delay creates the real danger of derailing a proper infringement inquiry.
`
`Deposition testimony from Touchstream witnesses about the timing of Touchstream’s decision to
`
`file this suit, or documents showing that Touchstream was considering filing a lawsuit against
`
`Charter before it actually did so, would unfairly prompt the jury to infer that Charter should be
`
`absolved for its infringement, or excused from a willfulness finding, because Touchstream did not
`
`file suit sooner. (See, e.g., Ex. D (Herb Mitschele May 31, 2014 Dep. 428:12–430:8)). That is why
`
`this Court has a standing MIL precluding evidence, testimony, or argument relating only to
`
`equitable issues, as would be the case with delay if the laches doctrine still existed. See 08-11-
`
`2023 Patent Standing Order on Motions in Limine No. 5.
`
`Because the evidence of Touchstream's alleged delay is not probative of Charter’s conduct
`
`and will only distract the jury by attempting to portray Touchstream as a bad actor (where
`
`Touchstream's conduct is not at issue), this evidence should be excluded. See Exmark Mfg. Co.
`
`Inc. v. Briggs & Stratton Power Prod. Grp., LLC, No. 8:10CV187, 2015 WL 5177759, at *2 (D.
`
`Neb. Sept. 4, 2015), affd in part, 879 F.3d 1332 (Fed. Cir. 2018) (granting plaintiff's motion in
`
`limine and finding “evidence of delay in filing suit and/or laches is not relevant”).
`
`For the foregoing reasons, the Court should grant Plaintiff Touchstream’s motions in
`
`limine.
