`
`PHILIP MORRIS’ MOTION IN LIMINE TO PRECLUDE REYNOLDS FROM
`PRESENTING IMPROPER ARGUMENTS REGARDING THE ALTO’S MOUTHPIECE
`
`Philip Morris respectfully moves the Court in limine to preclude Reynolds from arguing or
`
`suggesting that if the jury finds the black tip of the accused VUSE Alto meets the “mouthpiece”
`
`limitation recited in the asserted claims of the ’265 patent, they may find non-infringement with
`
`no further analysis. The grounds for this motion are set forth in the accompanying Memorandum
`
`in Support of Philip Morris’s Motion in Limine to Preclude Reynolds from Presenting Improper
`
`Arguments Regarding the Alto’s Mouthpiece, filed concurrently herewith. A proposed order
`
`granting the requested relief is attached.
