`
`All parties in this case stipulate to the following motions in limine. All parties agree that
`
`they, their counsel, representatives, and all witnesses called by them (whether live or by
`
`deposition) will not mention, refer to, interrogate about, or attempt to convey to the jury in any
`
`manner, either directly or indirectly, any of the matters set forth below without obtaining a
`
`favorable ruling from this Court outside the presence of the jury.
`
`1. Indefiniteness. Reynolds will not present argument, evidence, or testimony that any
`claim term recited in the asserted patents is indefinite under 35 U.S.C. § 112(b).
`Reynolds, however, reserves the right to introduce evidence consistent with the Court’s
`claim-construction rulings, including without limitation the plain and ordinary meaning
`of claim terms, subject to any Daubert or evidentiary objections. Reynolds also
`preserves its right to challenge the Court’s claim-construction rulings after trial and on
`appeal to the extent those rulings rejected Reynolds’s proposed claim constructions.
`2. IPR Proceedings. No party will reference the inter partes review (“IPR”) proceedings
`involving the Asserted Patents.
`3. Disparaging the Patent Office. No party will present argument, evidence, or
`testimony disparaging the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“Patent Office”)
`or its examiners. This agreement does not preclude Reynolds from referencing the fact
`that certain prior art references may not have been considered by the Patent Office
`during prosecution of the asserted patents.
`4. Jury Studies and Shadow Juries. No argument, evidence, or testimony regarding:
`(1) any jury study or focus study groups that the parties have conducted, (2) the use by
`any party of a shadow jury during trial, and (3) the use by any party of jury consultants.
`5. Sidebar Comments at Depositions. No references to objections or sidebar comments
`by counsel during depositions.
`6. Testimony on Invalidity Defenses. Dr. Blalock will not provide testimony at trial
`regarding alleged lack of written description, enablement, or inequitable conduct.
`7. Motions in limine and Excluding Evidence. No evidence or argument relating to
`motions in limine, that the Court has made a ruling in response to motions in limine,
`suggesting or inferring that the parties have moved to prohibit proof, or that the Court
`has excluded proof on any particular matters.
`8. Objections. No reference to any objections made by the parties in answers to
`interrogatories, responses to requests for production, hearings, depositions, or at trial.
