`
`Case 2:16-cv-00695-RWS-RSP Document 70 Filed 10/15/23 Page 2 of 7 PageID #: 1385
`
`1.
`
`Use of Intel Revenues on PDX 1.25 and PDX 1.32. Intel preserves its objections to the
`
`presentation of Intel’s total accused revenues in PDX 1.25 and PDX 1.32, see Dkt. 797 at 3-4.
`
`2.
`
`Defendants object to the testimony of Patrick Connor1. The designated testimony is
`
`irrelevant, misleading, and unduly prejudicial and is in contravention of the Court’s ruling on
`
`Defendants’ MIL 8. See Dkt. 876.2 Alacritech designates testimony regarding Intel’s knowledge
`
`of and understanding of the scope of the litigation between Microsoft and Alacritech, even though
`
`the Court ruled that any discussion of the Microsoft-Alacritech litigation must be limited to only
`
`that which is reasonable for purposes of providing context for the Broadcom-Alacritech settlement
`
`agreement. The testimony designated goes well beyond that and includes irrelevant discussion as
`
`to whether Intel believed it would need a license to Alacritech’s Chimney product as a result of the
`
`Microsoft-Alacritech litigation, even though the Asserted Patents were not at issue in that
`
`litigation. Presentation of the designated testimony to the jury would be highly prejudicial to Intel
`
`as it would serve no purpose other than to suggest that Intel somehow had knowledge of the
`
`Asserted Patents (despite no evidence) through that litigation and/or infringed or required a license
`
`to the Asserted Patents.
`
`Further, the designated testimony is more prejudicial than the underlying documents that
`
`are discussed therein. While the underlying documents (see, e.g., PTX-033) may be admissible,
`
`they are being used in the corresponding testimony in a misleading way to suggest that the
`
`
`1 Alacritech designates the following lines from the Deposition of Patrick Connor: 7:19-20; 9:24-10:2
`53:3-15; 78:17-20; 78:22-78:22; 84:19-24; 85:15-20; 97:21-98:4; 98:10-98:24; 120:6-13, 102:7-102:12; 120:15-22;
`103:13-15; 106:9-14; 106:16-24; 107:17-107:19; 107:21-22; 107:24-108:10; 108:12; 110:2-7; 110:24-111:15;
`111:18-25; 115:16-24; 117:10-117:17; 118:3-6; 119:6-9; 119:11; 128:25-129:17.
`2 In the interest of efficiency, the parties previously had agreed not to raise with the issue of the Patrick Connor
`testimony, see Ex. A. However, in light of the prejudicial nature of the designated testimony and the Court’s ruling
`on Defendants’ MIL 8, Defendants have reconsidered the prior agreement and notified Alacritech of the changed
`position.

`
`documents are somehow referring to the Asserted Patents, even though none of the Asserted
`
`Patents had issued as of the date of the documents.3
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`3 With respect to PDX-1.26, Dell reserves the right to object the slide as prejudicial and irrelevant pending
`Alacritech revising the slide as indicated in its 9:48 PM email, but those updated slides are not yet served.
