`D.
`
`U.S. Patent No. 10,420,374
`• Any reference other than Pan (U.S. Patent No. 8,205,622), McLaughlin (U.S.
`Patent No. 8,661,910), Gourlay (U.S. Patent App. Pub. No. 2005/0081639
`A1), Liu 238 (CN201514238 U), and Liu 667 (CN 201482667 U).
`
`Indefiniteness. Reynolds will not present argument, evidence, or testimony that
`41.
`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. 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.
`
`52.
`
`IPR Proceedings. No party will reference the inter partes review (“IPR”)
`proceedings involving the Asserted Patents. Reynolds will not pursue any ground
`that Reynolds raised or could have reasonably raised in IPR proceedings involving
`the ’545 and ’556 Patents, including any reference to prior art based invalidity as to
`those patents.
`
`63.
`
`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.
`
`Jury Studies and Shadow Juries. No argument, evidence, or testimony
`74.
`regarding: (1) any jury study or focus study groups that the parties have conducted
`and, (2) the use by any party of a shadow jury during trial, and (3) the use by any
`party of jury consultants.
`
`85.
`
`Sidebar Comments at Depositions. No references to objections or sidebar
`comments by counsel during depositions.
`
`Testimony on Invalidity Defenses. Dr. Blalock will not provide testimony at
`96.
`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.
