Case No.13-cv-05038-NC
ORDER DENYING IN PART
MOTION FOR SUMMARY
JUDGMENT OF
NONINFRINGEMENT
Re: Dkt. No. 168

Defendant.

16
17

The Court already partially denied Enplas’ motion for summary judgment as to the

18

“other Enplas lenses.” Enplas’ motion for summary judgment of noninfringement also

19

argues that SSC’s infringement expert, Moore, should be excluded, and without his

20

testimony, there is no dispute of material fact that Enplas does not infringe on the patents-

21

in-suit. The Court has already ruled the Moore’s opinion will not be excluded. Moore

22

opines that Enplas is infringing the patents-in-suit, and his opinion demonstrates a factual

23

issue between the parties.

24

Summary judgment may be granted only when, drawing all inferences and

25

resolving all doubts in favor of the nonmoving party, there is no genuine dispute as to any

26

material fact. Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(a); Tolan v. Cotton, 134 S. Ct. 1861, 1863 (2014);

27

Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 322 (1986). Considering Moore’s testimony, the

28

Court finds that drawing all inferences and resolving all doubts in favor of SSC, there is a
Case No. 13-cv-05038 NC

1
2

genuine dispute of material fact as to infringement of the patents-in-suit.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
