Opinion
Case No. 10-cv-00475-JCS
03-05-2013
TV INTERACTIVE DATA CORPORATION, Plaintiff, v. SONY CORPORATION, et al., Defendants.
ORDER GRANTING TVI'S MOTION IN LIMINE NO. 5
Dkt. No. 602
The sole issue presented in this motion is whether the claim term "operatively coupled" as used in the '156 Patent (Claim 1) and '863 Patent (Claims 1 and 9) requires two host devices. It does not. Accordingly, TVI's Motion in Limine No. 5 is GRANTED. Defendants may not offer any evidence or argument before the jury that two host devices are required by the claims. They may not offer evidence or argument that Sony's products do not infringe because the term "operatively coupled" requires two host devices.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
