`
`Touchstream’s Objections to Google’s First Amended Proposed Verdict Form:
`
`Touchstream objects to Google’s proposed Questions No. 2 and No. 3 as being
`
`prejudicial and unnecessarily complicated. Having two questions on invalidity improperly
`
`suggests invalidity has greater importance than infringement or that more deliberation is
`
`required. Moreover, a single question on the issue of invalidity, like the question on
`
`infringement, is adequate because the Court’s instructions provide guidance on what the jury
`
`must consider in answering it.
`
`Touchstream also objects to Google’s proposed instruction following proposed Question
`
`No. 3 on the same page. This instruction is highly prejudicial, especially given the wording (e.g.,
`
`“only if” and “please skip”), because it improperly suggests a preferred course of action to the
`
`jury. Also, the Court will provide instructions on damages that cover the same information, so it
`
`need not be repeated here.
