NOTICE OF WITHDRAWAL OF MOTION TO EXCLUDE ITAY SHERMAN OPINIONS BASED ON QUALIFICATIONS
CASE NO. 11-CV-01846-LHK
sf-3164212

1

As part of its Motion to Exclude Testimony of Samsung’s Experts (Dkt. No. 940), Apple

2

moved to exclude the testimony of Samsung’s design expert Itay Sherman for two reasons:

3

(1) Mr. Sherman is not qualified to offer expert opinions on obviousness or anticipation; and

4

(2) Mr. Sherman applied incorrect legal tests for design patent obviousness and functionality and

5

trade dress functionality.

6

To streamline the issues for the Court’s consideration at the June 29, 2012 hearing on both

7

parties’ motions, Apple withdraws its motion to exclude as to Mr. Sherman on the first ground

8

above. Apple instead will proceed with its challenges to Mr. Sherman’s qualifications via cross-

9

examination rather than pre-trial motion. Apple maintains its motion to exclude Mr. Sherman’s

10

testimony on the second ground above, i.e., that he applied incorrect legal tests.
