`
`
`Google respectfully seeks an order precluding Touchstream, their counsel, and witnesses
`
`from mentioning, referring to, or offering any evidence, testimony, or argument relating to any of
`
`the following matters within the hearing of any member of the jury during voir dire or at any time
`
`during trial.
`
`1.
`
`Google’s MIL No. 1: Exclude reference to Google’s overall size, wealth, profits, or
`revenue.
`Based on responses to motions for summary judgment, depositions, and expert reports, it
`
`appears that Touchstream will attempt to make references about Google’s overall revenues and
`
`state that Google is a large and wealthy corporation, or a monopolist. Dkt. 129-1 at 12 (stating
`
`Google is a “multi-billion dollar global technology company”), 13 (stating in 2020 Google’s parent
`
`company “generated almost
`
` in revenue” and “YouTube’s advertising revenue
`
`increased from
`
` in 2017 to
`
` in 2021”). Touchstream maintains that Google’s
`
`size, wealth, and “revenues” or profits, and generally contend that such “testimony is relevant and
`
`admissible.” Dkt. 155 at 25-26. But Touchstream should be precluded from making such
`
`references.
`
`Evidence of a defendant’s net worth and wealth is “totally irrelevant to the issue of
`
`compensatory damages.” Burke v. Deere & Co., 6 F.3d 497, 513 (8th Cir. 1993). Indeed,
`
`arguments regarding a party’s wealth, size, and corporate status in an effort to bias the jury have
`
`been found to constitute prejudicial error. See Draiper v. Airco, Inc., 580 F.2d 91, 95 (3d Cir.
`
`1978) (granting a new trial in part because “[c]ounsel repeatedly made reference to the wealth of
`
`the defendants in contrast to the relative poverty of the plaintiff”). References to a party as a
`
`“wealthy, thriving, large company” and references to a company’s finances and size have been
`
`held irrelevant and excluded at the motion in limine stage. Cooper Tire and Rubber Co. v. Farese,
`
`2008 WL 5382416, at *3 (N.D. Miss. Dec. 19, 2008).

`
`
`Nor should Touchstream be permitted to compare Google’s size and net worth to that of
`
`Touchstream or the inventor of the patent-in-suit. Such argument would be completely irrelevant
`
`to Touchstream’s allegations or its compensatory damages claims. As a bald attempt to appeal to
`
`wealth and class prejudice, it would also significantly prejudice Google. Similarly, Touchstream
`
`should be precluded from referring to the total size and value of Google or any of its divisions and
`
`related entities because presentation of a defendant’s overall size, market value, revenues, and
`
`profits “skew[s] the damages horizon for the jury, regardless of the contribution of the patented
`
`component.” Uniloc USA, Inc. v. Microsoft Corp., 632 F.3d 1292, 1320 (Fed. Cir. 2011). Indeed,
`
`courts, including this one, routinely rule that references to a company’s value and size are
`
`irrelevant and excluded in limine.1 The Court should therefore prohibit any reference to the size
`
`and value of Google or any of its divisions and related entities.
`
`Additionally, any reference to Google’s ability to afford attorneys, pay experts, or use its
`
`size to avoid paying license fees does not affect the claims or defenses here and is “of [no]
`
`consequence in determining the action.” FRE 401. Touchstream can only deploy such arguments
`
`and evidence to evoke an improper “David versus Goliath” narrative that Texas courts routinely
`
`forbid,2 and this Court has also recently prohibited. See ESW Holdings, Inc. v. Roku, Inc., No.

`6:19-cv-44-ADA, Dkt. 150 at *2 (W.D. Tex. 2021) (preventing “reference to [the defendant’s]
`
`overall revenue or profits (except as needed to establish royalty base(s) for damages purposes), or
`
`implied or express suggestion that sought damages is relatively small compared to [the
`

`
`size or value of the parties.
`
`2.
`
`Google’s MIL No. 2: Exclude the unsupported opinion of Mr. Chandler concerning
`ad revenue and Google’s business model.
`Based on discovery and motion practice, it appears that Touchstream will seek to make
`
`broad references to not only Google’s total revenues, but also revenue streams that their own expert
`
`concedes he does not rely on to calculate his proposed damages award. Touchstream should be
`
`precluded from making any reference to revenues streams that Mr. Chandler never ties to his
`
`damages opinion. As explained in Google’s motion to exclude certain opinions of Mr. Chandler
`
`(Dkt. 129), his expert report opines about a revenue-based approach and a lifetime value approach
`
`to damages for which he never offers any conclusions. Dtk. 129 at 19-22. Yet, Mr. Chandler was
`
`unequivocal that he was unable to calculate a damages award under either approach. Dkt. 129-2
`
`at 26:21-27:18; 32:17-22, 33:10-16. Indeed, Chandler admits that his revenue-based approach is
`
`unreliable because he was unable to apportion the revenue to the value of the invention, and he
`
`does not use any revenue data as an input into his per unit reasonable royalty analysis, the only
`
`approach in which he renders an opinion. Any reference to these approaches from which Mr.
`
`Chandler concedes he could not calculate any damages award would only serve to confuse and
`
`mislead the jury. FRE 403; ESW v. Roku, Inc., No. 6:19-cv-44-ADA, Dkt. 150 at 2 (W.D. Tex.
`
`March 23, 2021) (granting MIL directed to “Roku’s overall revenues or profits (except as needed
`
`
`painting a David and Goliath scenario”); Rogers v. Medline Indus., Inc., 2019 WL 402361, at *4

`

`
`3.
`
`Google’s MIL No. 3: Exclude reference that any Touchstream product practiced the
`Asserted Patents and any alleged industry praise, including the untimely and
`unqualified opinion of Mr. Strober that Touchstream products embodied the patents
`Based on Touchstream’s response to motion practice, it appears that Touchstream intends
`
`to introduce argument or evidence of their own products allegedly practicing the Asserted Patents,
`
`and purported evidence of industry praise reliant on the same. Indeed, in responding to Google’s
`
`motion for to exclude certain opinions of Dr. Almeroth, Touchstream filed a declaration from
`
`Mr. Strober (the named inventor) contending that some of the Touchstream apps were commercial
`
`embodiments of the Asserted Patents. Dkt. 157-3. Touchstream has never explained or disclosed
`
`how its products allegedly practice the claimed inventions, which is unfairly prejudicial to Google.
`
`And Mr. Strober is not qualified as an expert in this case, so his eleventh-hour declaration making
`
`conclusory allegations that some of the Touchstream apps embody the patents is untimely and
`
`unfounded. Without any explanation, in either fact or expert discovery, of how Touchstream’s
`
`products allegedly practice the asserted claims, evidence purporting to show industry praise for
`
`Touchstream’s products should be excluded as not relevant and more prejudicial than probative.
`
`See FRE 401, 403; see also Stratoflex, Inc. v. Aeroquip Corp., 713 F.2d 1530, 1539 (Fed. Cir.
`
`1983) (with “[n]o evidence [in the] record establish[ing]” that product was covered by patent
`
`claims, it “cannot therefore be given weight” in respect to secondary considerations). Moreover,
`
`when a party fails to provide information or identify a witness as required by Rule 26(a) or (e) of
`
`the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the party is not allowed to use that information or witness to
`
`supply evidence on a motion, at a hearing, or at trial, unless the failure was substantially justified
`
`or is harmless. Fed. R. Civ. P. 37(c)(1).

`
`4.
`
`Google’s MIL No. 4: Exclude reference to non-US use, activity, or sale revenue.
`Based on Touchstream’s responses to Google’s motions concerning summary judgment
`
`and to exclude the foreign damages opinions of Mr. Chandler, it is clear that Touchstream intends
`
`to raise foreign damages at trial. Dkt. 158 at 30-35; Dkt. 155 at 25. Touchstream should be
`
`precluded from making any references to activities or devices that allegedly perform the accused
`
`method outside of the United States. As this Court has already held, “infringement of a method
`
`claim requires that each of the claimed steps be performed within the United States,” and “the
`
`foreign activities or products that allegedly infringe the accused method abroad are not sold, used,
`
`or imported into the United States.” Dkt. 146 at 3. Any reference to devices or revenues outside
`
`of the United States has no relevance to this case and would only serve to attempt to inflate the
`
`damages. Indeed, consistent with this Court’s orders (Dkt. 120 and Dkt. 146) and the detailed
`
`analysis therein, Google has moved for summary judgment on this issue, and out of an abundance
`
`of caution, similarly moves to preclude any reference to foreign devices or damages base on
`
`alleged non-US “infringement” of the Asserted (method) Claims.
`
`5.
`
`Google’s MIL No. 5: Exclude any reference, suggestion, or argument regarding the
`fact, settlement, outcome of or verdict or result in any other litigation, legal
`proceeding, regulatory, governmental or other investigation involving the other
`party.
`Based on recent correspondence, discovery, and motion practice, it appears that
`
`Touchstream is expecting to raise settlements or outcomes of other litigation concerning unrelated
`
`legal proceedings during trial. For instance, Mr. Chandler makes repeated references in his report
`
`to agreements that he merely posits could be relevant, though he has no basis, technical or
`
`otherwise, to opine on them. Dkt. 129-1 at 76 n.284. Mr. Chandler generally references
`
`agreements between Google and
`
`, but
`
`these agreements are not evidence in this case and there is nothing tying any of those agreements
`
`to this case in any way. Dkt. 129 at 24. But such references have no bearing to any of the claims

`
`in this case and risk unfair prejudice, confusing the issues, and/or misleading the jury. See Fed.
`
`R. Evid. 402, 403; Mars, Inc. v. TruRX LLC, 2016 WL 4055675 at *2-3 (E.D. Tex. 2016)
`
`(precluding references to “any pending or prior litigation other than this case involving either of
`
`the parties”). Courts, including this one, routinely exclude evidence of other litigation to prevent
`
`prejudice and confusion. Touchstream should thus be precluded from presenting evidence or
`
`making any reference to other law legal proceedings involving Google. Mobile Telecomms. LLC
`
`v. ZTE (USA) Inc 2016 WL 8260584, at *2 (E.D. Tex. 2016) (excluding references or evidence
`
`“regarding unrelated litigations, investigations, or accusations involving the parties or their
`
`affiliates or principles”). Touchstream should also be precluded from making references to any
`
`settlement discussions between the parties or any settlements that are not in evidence in this case,
`
`including any between Google and any unrelated third parties. See VLSI Tech. LLC v Intel Corp.,
`
`No. 6:21-cv-0057-ADA, Dkt. No. 508, at 5 (W.D. Tex. Feb. 19, 2021) (granting MIL to exclude
`
`“references to . . . prior Intel litigation settlements”).
`
`6.
`
`Google’s MIL No. 6: Exclude any reference that of Google being a “monopoly”,
`“monopolist”, “anti-competitive” or other such pejorative terms, or that Google is
`repeatedly accused of IP infringement, does not respect IP rights, or other such
`matters.
`Based on expert reports, depositions, and recent correspondence it appears that
`
`Touchstream might attempt to refer to Google “monopoly” or “anti-competitive” or that it is
`
`repeatedly accused of IP infringement. For example Mr. Chandler’s expert report states that
`
`arrangements between Google and app developers and content providers “are so profitable that
`
`[they] have led to antitrust challenges by numerous state attorney generals.” Dkt. 129-1 at 52.
`
`Touchstream should be precluded from using pejorative expressions or labels concerning Google.
`
`Arguments related to Google’s alleged market power or dominance are generally not
`
`relevant to any issue in this case, including damages. Thus, pejorative labels and accusations about
`

`
`

`

`Case 6:21-cv-00569-ADA Document 195 Filed 01/26/23 Page 9 of 14
`
`
`Google’s alleged power should be excluded under FRE 403 as misleading and highly prejudicial
`
`attempt to cast Google in an unfavorable light, and to “invite an emotion[al] response from the
`
`jury[.]” DataTreasury Corp. v. Wells Fargo & Co., No. 2:06-CV-72 DF, 2010 WL 11538713, at
`
`*14 (E.D. Tex. 2010) (excluding unfavorable references to defendant unrelated to disputed issues).
`
`Failure to exclude this evidence would also result in a time consuming, confusing, and unnecessary
`
`sideshow. Accordingly, courts in other patent cases where Google is a party have granted similar
`
`MILs to exclude “[t]estimony and argument . . . suggest[ing] that Google behaves as a monopoly
`
`or engages in unlawful or anticompetitive practices.”3 The same exclusion should apply here.
`
`Moreover, any accusation that Google does not respect intellectual property rights would be both
`
`baseless and irrelevant to the question of whether the Accused Products infringe any valid claim.
`
`FRE 401-404. The Court in Parthenon Unified Memory Architecture LLC v. Apple Inc., No. 2:15-
`
`cv-621-JRG-RSP, 2016 WL 7743510 (E.D. Tex. Sept. 21, 2016), granted a similar motion and
`
`excluded “evidence, testimony, or argument during trial referencing statements that suggest Apple
`
`does not respect intellectual property.” Id. at *3; see also SimpleAir, Inc. v. AWS Convergence
`
`Techs., Inc., No. 2:09-cv-289, 2012 WL 13207358, at *1 (E.D. Tex. Apr. 3, 2012). Touchstream
`
`should likewise be prohibited from suggesting Google or any of its affiliated entities undermine
`
`the patent system, do not respect patent rights, or otherwise engage in a pattern of alleged
`
`misconduct relating to patents or intellectual property.
`
`7.
`
`Google’s MIL No. 7: Exclude any reference concerning Google’s practices with
`respect to data collection, privacy, or information security.
`Based on the expert reports and depositions, it appears that Touchstream intends to make
`
`references to Google’s practices with respect to privacy or information security. For instance,
`
`Mr. Chandler’s report states that “
`
`
`

`
`

`

`Case 6:21-cv-00569-ADA Document 195 Filed 01/26/23 Page 10 of 14
`
`
`.” Dkt. 129-1 at 49. Touchstream should be
`
`precluded from making these irrelevant and prejudicial accusations suggesting that Google does
`
`not respect, or intrudes on the privacy of its customers, users of its products and services, or the
`
`public. Such accusations have no relevance to any issue in this case under FRE 401 and 402 and
`
`should also be excluded under FRE 403 as a highly prejudicial attempt to cast Google in an
`
`unfavorable light, and to “invite an emotion[al] response from the jury[.]” DataTreasury, 2010
`
`WL 11538713, at *14. Failure to exclude this evidence would also result in a time-consuming,
`
`confusing, and unnecessary sideshow. Courts in other patent cases where Google is a party have
`
`granted similar MILs to exclude arguments concerning “alleged invasions of privacy” by Google
`
`as “irrelevant and prejudicial.” Skyhook, Dkt. 619, at 11-12. The same exclusion should apply here.
`
`8.
`
`Google’s MIL No. 8: Exclude any reference about alleged deficiencies in or the
`conduct of discovery in this case.
`Based on correspondence, the depositions, and the expert reports, it appears that
`
`Touchstream may attempt to argue to the jury that Google’s document production during discovery
`
`was incomplete. For instance, Mr. Chandler’s report refers to “missing information from Google’s
`
`productions,” Dkt. 129-1 at 102, contending that “Google has made an incomplete production of
`
`its relevant revenue.” Dkt. 129-1 at 333. But such unfounded assertions concerning any perceived
`
`missing information during discovery would be for this Court to decide, not a jury. The sole
`
`motivation for making these suggestions to a jury would be to confuse and bias the jury against
`
`Google. Any such allegations are baseless and wholly irrelevant to resolution of the issues in this
`
`lawsuit, and should therefore be excluded under Federal Rule of Evidence 402. In addition,
`
`Touchstream’s unfounded assertions would be highly prejudicial to Google and should be
`
`excluded under Federal Rule of Evidence 403. Such unsubstantiated accusations would only
`
`confuse and bias the jury by potentially leading them to believe that Google has attempted to

`Case 6:21-cv-00569-ADA Document 195 Filed 01/26/23 Page 11 of 14
`
`
`conceal evidence or otherwise bias them against Google. Accordingly, Touchstream should be
`
`precluded from introducing evidence or making arguments related to any conduct during the
`
`discovery process.4
`
`9.
`
`Google’s MIL No. 9: Exclude any reference relating to data retention policy and
`practices.
`Based on correspondence and Touchstream’s motion for summary judgment, it appears
`
`that Touchstream may attempt to argue that it was unable to identify certain evidence, including
`
`evidence of Google’s specific intent to infringe, because of Google’s data-retention policies and
`
`practices and related lack of discoverable information as a result of these policies and practices.
`
`See, e.g., Dkt. 158 at 23. Touchstream should be precluded from doing so. During discovery,
`
`Touchstream did not allege that Google should have reasonably foreseen litigation triggering
`
`document preservation documents during the periods where documentation and data were deleted
`
`according to Google’s data-retention policies and practices. Without such an obligation, Google
`
`had a “legitimate business interest [in] eliminating unnecessary documents and data.” Hynix
`
`Semiconductor Inc. v. Rambus Inc., 645 F.3d 1336, 1345 (Fed. Cir. 2011). Thus, references to
`
`such discovery issues should be excluded because they are not relevant to any issues to be tried to
`
`the jury. FRE 401, 402; see Personalized Media Commc’ns, LLC v. Apple, Inc., No. 2:15-cv-
`
`01366-JRG-RSP, Dkt. 510 at 10 (E.D. Tex. Mar. 3, 2021) (precluding plaintiff “from Presenting
`
`Evidence, Testimony, or Argument Regarding Discovery Disputes or Allegedly ‘Missing’
`
`Discovery in this Case”); Orchestrate HR, Inc. v. Trombetta, No. 3:13-CV-2110-KS, 2017 WL

`
`
`“are not relevant to any issue to be decided by the jury”).
`
`Further, any purported relevance of such discovery issues is far outweighed by the potential
`
`for unfair prejudice and jury confusion. See Orchestrate, 2017 WL 273669, at *9 (“[A]ny
`
`relevance [discovery issues] may have for impeachment purposes are substantially outweighed by
`
`the risk of unfair prejudice.”); Brighton Collectibles, Inc. v. Marc Chantal USA, Inc., No. 06-CV-
`
`1584 H (POR), 2009 WL 10674074, at *3 (S.D. Cal. Apr. 1, 2009) (finding that evidence regarding
`
`the discovery process could paint one party “in a negative light,” and that the “prejudice would
`
`clearly outweigh any probative value”). Indeed, allowing Touchstream to make reference to these
`
`discovery issues would permit Touchstream to use its nearly decade-long delay in filing suit as a
`
`sword to unfairly prejudice Google based on the “loss of records, destruction of evidence, [and]
`
`fading memories” that naturally result from such a long delay. Cornetta v. United States, 851 F.2d
`
`1372, 1378 (Fed. Cir. 1988). Such use would also confuse the jury by implying that Google’s
`
`data-retention policies and practices represent an illegitimate business practice. Touchstream’s
`
`references to such discovery issues should be excluded for these reasons as well.
