MEMORANDUM OPINION

Wilmington, Delaware
I. INTRODUCTION
On May 23, 2012, Big 3 Packaging, LLC ("B3P") and Cot'n Wash, Inc. ("Cot'n
Wash") (collectively, "plaintiffs") filed suit in this district against Henkel Corporation, The
Dial Corporation ("Dial"), and Henkel Consumer Goods, Inc. (collectively, "the Henkel
defendants") alleging infringement of United States Patent No. 6,037,319 ("the '319
patent"). (Civ. No. 12-650, D.l. 1) On the same day, plaintiffs asserted the '319 patent
against The Sun Products Corporation ("Sun") in a related case before this court. 1 (Civ.
No. 12-651, D. I. 1)
The Henkel defendants and Sun (collectively, "defendants") answered plaintiffs'
complaints on July 30, 2012 and asserted counterclaims against plaintiffs seeking
declaratory judgments of non-infringement and invalidity of the '319 patent. (Civ. No.
12-650, D.l. 11 at 18-19, ,-r,-r 17-27; Civ. No. 12-651, D.l. 9 at 12-14, ,-r,-r 13-26) On
August 21, 2012, plaintiffs answered defendants' counterclaims. (Civ. No. 12-650, D. I.
17; Civ. No. 12-651, D.l. 13) On August 15, 2013, by stipulation, the Henkel
defendants filed their first amended answer, affirmative defenses, and counterclaims,
adding affirmative defenses of patent invalidity under 35 U.S.C. § 112 and inequitable
conduct, as well as a counterclaim of patent unenforceability due to inequitable
conduct. (Civ. No. 12-650, D.l. 56 at 14-23, ,-r,-r 12-39; id. at 39-41, ,-r,-r 59-69) On
September 3, 2013, plaintiffs answered the Henkel defendants' new affirmative
defenses and counterclaim. (Civ. No. 12-650, D.l. 62)
1
The court entered a single scheduling order in both cases, which provides for
coordinated discovery and claim construction proceedings. (See Civ. No. 12-650, D. I.
22; Civ. No. 12-651, D. I. 20)
On January 31, 2014, Sun filed a motion for leave to amend its answer,
affirmative defenses, and counterclaims. (Civ. No. 12-651, D.l. 152) On February 7,
2014, the Henkel defendants filed a similar motion for leave to file a second amended
answer, affirmative defenses, and counterclaims. (Civ. No. 12-650, D. I. 145) On July
11, 2014, the court denied Sun's motion with respect to the addition of false marking
counterclaims, but granted the motion with respect to the inequitable conduct
counterclaim. (Civ. No. 12-651, D.l. 225) On the same day, the court denied the
Henkel defendants' motion. (Civ. No. 12-650, D.l. 235)
Presently before the court are defendants' motions for summary judgment of
invalidity (Civ. No. 12-650, D.l. 159; Civ. No. 12-651, D.l. 170) and non-infringement
(Civ. No. 12-650, D. I. 168; Civ. No. 12-651, D.l. 166). Defendants also filed motions to
exclude the testimony and opinions of Drs. Di Vincenzo, Kong, and Gering (Civ. No. 12650, D.l. 161) and Robertson Microlit's and Mibrobac's testing (Civ. No. 12-651, D.l.
167), as well as a motion to strike the March 6 supplemental expert reports of Drs. Di
Vincenzo and Kong (Civ. No. 12-650, D. I. 167). The court has jurisdiction pursuant to
28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 and 1338(a).

B. The Patent-in-Suit
Plaintiffs assert that certain of defendants' products infringe claims 1, 3, 6, 7, and
82 of U.S. Patent No. 6,037,319 ("the '319 patent"), titled "Water-Soluble Packets
Containing Liquid Cleaning Concentrates," filed April 1, 1997 and issued March 14,
2000. The '319 patent is directed to "[w]ater-soluble packets containing liquid cleaning
concentrates" which "are stable despite the presence of any minor amount of water in
the cleaning concentrates." ('319 patent, Abstract) Specifically, "the invention provides

Ciaim 8 is only asserted against the Henkel defendants.
3
a stable water-soluble cleaning packet comprising an uncoated, single-layered
containment system containing a liquid cleaning composition." (/d. at 2:34-37)
Ill. STANDARD OF REVIEW
"The court shall grant summary judgment if the movant shows that there is no
genuine dispute as to any material fact and the movant is entitled to judgment as a
matter of law." Fed. R. Civ. P. 56( a). The moving party bears the burden of
demonstrating the absence of a genuine issue of material fact. Matsushita Elec. Indus.
Co. v. Zenith Radio Corp., 415 U.S. 574, 586 n.10 (1986). A party asserting that a fact
cannot be-or, alternatively, is-genuinely disputed must support the assertion either
by citing to "particular parts of materials in the record, including depositions, documents,
electronically stored information, affidavits or declarations, stipulations (including those
made for the purposes of the motions only), admissions, interrogatory answers, or other
materials," or by "showing that the materials cited do not establish the absence or
presence of a genuine dispute, or that an adverse party cannot produce admissible
evidence to support the fact." Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(c)(1 )(A) & (B). If the moving party has
carried its burden, the nonmovant must then "come forward with specific facts showing
that there is a genuine issue for trial." Matsushita, 415 U.S. at 587 (internal quotation
marks omitted). The court will "draw all reasonable inferences in favor of the
nonmoving party, and it may not make credibility determinations or weigh the evidence."
Reeves v. Sanderson Plumbing Prods., Inc., 530 U.S. 133, 150 (2000).
To defeat a motion for summary judgment, the non-moving party must "do more
than simply show that there is some metaphysical doubt as to the material facts."
4
Matsushita, 475 U.S. at 586-87; see a/so Podohnik v. U.S. Postal Service, 409 F.3d
584, 594 (3d Cir. 2005) (stating party opposing summary judgment "must present more
than just bare assertions, conclusory allegations or suspicions to show the existence of
a genuine issue") (internal quotation marks omitted). Although the "mere existence of
some alleged factual dispute between the parties will not defeat an otherwise properly
supported motion for summary judgment," a factual dispute is genuine where "the
evidence is such that a reasonable jury could return a verdict for the nonmoving party."
Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 411 U.S. 242, 247-48 (1986). "If the evidence is
merely colorable, or is not significantly probative, summary judgment may be granted."
/d. at 249-50 (internal citations omitted); see a/so Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 411 U.S.
317, 322 (1986) (stating entry of summary judgment is mandated "against a party who
fails to make a showing sufficient to establish the existence of an element essential to
that party's case, and on which that party will bear the burden of proof at trial").
IV. DISCUSSION
A. The '319 Patent Claims
Claim 1 is directed to and recites:
A cleaning packet comprising a liquid cleaning concentrate
and a water-soluble container containing said concentrate,
wherein said cleaning concentrate comprises less than 7.5
wt. % water, and said container comprises a single layer film
having an internal surface directly contacting said
concentrate, and having an external surface which is an
outermost portion of said cleaning packet.
('319 patent, 9:9-15) Claim 3 is dependent on claim 1, and recites:
The cleaning packet according to claim 1 , wherein said
cleaning concentrate comprises less than 5.0 wt. % water.
5
(/d. at 9:18-19) Claim 6 is also dependent on claim 1, and further recites:
The cleaning packet according to claim 1, wherein the single
layer film has a thickness of about 2 mils to about 4 mils.
(/d. at 9:25-27) Claim 7, also dependent on claim 1, recites:
The cleaning packet according to claim 1, wherein the single
layer film is a polyvinyl alcohol film.
(/d. at 9:28-29) Claim 8 is further dependent on claim 7, and recites:
The cleaning packet according to claim 7, wherein the
container consists essentially of said polyvinyl alcohol film.
(/d. at 9:30-31)
B. Infringement
1. Standard
A patent is infringed when a person "without authority makes, uses or sells any
patented invention, within the United States ... during the term of the patent." 35
U.S.C. § 271 (a). A two-step analysis is employed in making an infringement
determination. See Markman v. Westview Instruments, Inc., 52 F.3d 967, 976 (Fed.
Cir. 1995). First, the court must construe the asserted claims to ascertain their meaning
and scope. See id. Construction of the claims is a question of law subject to de novo
review. See Cybor Corp. v. FAS Techs., 138 F.3d 1448, 1454 (Fed. Cir. 1998). The
trier of fact must then compare the properly construed claims with the accused
infringing product. See Markman, 52 F.3d at 976. This second step is a question of
fact. See Bai v. L & L Wings, Inc., 160 F.3d 1350, 1353 (Fed. Cir. 1998 ).
"Direct infringement requires a party to perform each and every step or element
of a claimed method or product." BMC Res., Inc. v. Paymentech, L.P., 498 F.3d 1373,
6
1378 (Fed. Cir. 2007), overruled on other grounds by 692 F.3d 1301 (Fed. Cir. 2012).
"If any claim limitation is absent from the accused device, there is no literal infringement
as a matter of law." Bayer AG v. Elan Pharm. Research Corp., 212 F.3d 1241, 1247
(Fed. Cir. 2000). If an accused product does not infringe an independent claim, it also
does not infringe any claim depending thereon. See Wahpeton Canvas Co. v. Frontier,
Inc., 870 F.2d 1546, 1553 (Fed. Cir. 1989). However, "[o]ne may infringe an
independent claim and not infringe a claim dependent on that claim." Monsanto Co. v.
Syngenta Seeds, Inc., 503 F.3d 1352, 1359 (Fed. Cir. 2007) (quoting Wahpeton
Canvas, 870 F.2d at 1552) (internal quotations omitted). A product that does not
literally infringe a patent claim may still infringe under the doctrine of equivalents if the
differences between an individual limitation of the claimed invention and an element of
the accused product are insubstantial. See Warner-Jenkinson Co. v. Hilton Davis
Chern. Co., 520 U.S. 17, 24 (1997). The patent owner has the burden of proving
infringement and must meet its burden by a preponderance of the evidence. See
SmithKiine Diagnostics, Inc. v. Helena Lab. Corp., 859 F.2d 878, 889 (Fed. Cir. 1988)
(citations omitted).
When an accused infringer moves for summary judgment of non-infringement,
such relief may be granted only if one or more limitations of the claim in question does
not read on an element of the accused product, either literally or under the doctrine of
equivalents. See Chimie v. PPG Indus., Inc., 402 F.3d 1371, 1376 (Fed. Cir. 2005);
see also TechSearch, L.L.C. v. Intel Corp., 286 F.3d 1360, 1369 (Fed. Cir. 2002)
("Summary judgment of non infringement is ... appropriate where the patent owner's
7
proof is deficient in meeting an essential part of the legal standard for infringement,
because such failure will render all other facts immaterial."). Thus, summary judgment
of non-infringement can only be granted if, after viewing the facts in the light most
favorable to the non-movant, there is no genuine issue as to whether the accused
product is covered by the claims (as construed by the court). See Pitney Bowes, Inc. v.
Hewlett-Packard Co., 182 F.3d 1298, 1304 (Fed. Cir. 1999).
2. Analysis
a. The Henkel defendants' motion for summary judgment of
non-infringement
Plaintiffs allege that the Henkel defendants infringe independent claim 1 and
dependent claims 3, 6-8 of the '319 patent through the sale of their Purex Ultra Packs
products, which include "Free and Clear'' and "Mountain Breeze" versions. (Civ. No. 12650, D.l. 166, ex. 1 at 2, 4) Henkel moves for summary judgment on the following
grounds: (1) the reformulated products do not infringe any asserted claim; (2) the
original versions of the accused products do not infringe any asserted claim; (3) Henkel
Corporation and Henkel Consumer Goods are not proper parties to this action; and (4)
plaintiffs' inducement claim is improper. (Civ. No. 12-650, D.l. 185)
i. Reformulated products
After plaintiffs filed their complaint, Dial ceased production of the original version
of the accused products on July 18, 2012 and began producing a reformulated version
containing more than 7.5 wt.% water. There is no dispute that, under the court's claim
construction, the reformulated products do not infringe the asserted claim. The Henkel
defendants seek summary judgment as to all accused products manufactured after July
8
18,2012.
Plaintiffs respond that the reformulated products are not at issue in this suit as
plaintiffs have never accused them of infringing. (Civ. No. 12-650, D. I. 217 at 9)
Plaintiffs, however, make clear that they "are not conceding that Henkel's reformulated
products do not infringe. Rather, [p]laintiffs merely have not pursued any claims
against them in this litigation, so that any disputes over those products must wait for
another day." (Id.)
The Henkel defendants respond that plaintiffs placed the reformulated products
squarely at issue. For instance, the complaint is not limited to the original Purex
UltraPacks, but broadly alleges that Henkel infringed the '319 patent by "making, using,
selling, offering for sale water-soluble laundry packets, including without limitation,
Purex UltraPacks, Mountain Breeze and Purex UltraPacks, free and clear .... " (Civ.
No. 12-650, D. I. 1 at ,-r 32) (emphasis added) Additionally, plaintiffs have not withdrawn
a request for a permanent injunction (/d. at 10), necessary only if plaintiffs considered
Henkel to still be infringing even after the introduction of the reformulated products.
Plaintiffs further pursued discovery of "Henkel Products," defined in plaintiffs' notices as
"Henkels' water-soluble laundry packets, such as Purex, Purex UltraPacks, Mountain
Breeze and Purex Ultra Packs, free and clear, and other water-soluble, liquid laundry
products." (Civ. No. 12-650, D. I. 227, ex. 6 at ,-r 4; ex. 7 at ,-r 4) In response to the
Henkel defendants' objection to this broad definition (/d. at ex. 8 at 3-4 ), plaintiffs
confirmed that "'Henkel Products' ... includes, but [is] not limited to the Purex
UltraPacks in Mountain Breeze, Free and Clear and Oxy, and all iterations in their
9
formulas." (/d. at ex. 9 at 3) Plaintiffs further requested all product data sheets "from
the fall of 2012 to the present" and all documents regarding "Henkel's sales and
distribution from May 2012 to the present." (/d. at ex. 12 at 1; ex. 13 at 1, ex. 14 at 1;
ex. 15 ("batch sheets and formula cards for the Purex Ultra Packs manufactured for
commercial sale from inception of manufacturing to the present") 3 When the Henkel
defendants questioned plaintiffs as to this extensive discovery, plaintiffs responded that
"those documents go to inducement and secondary considerations of non[]obviousness." (/d. at ex. 16 at 1)4 To the extent that plaintiffs have put such products
at issue, plaintiffs must either provide the Henkel defendants with a covenant not to
sue, or the court will enter judgment based on the evidence before it.
ii. Original products
The Henkel defendants also move for summary judgement that the original
products do not infringe as plaintiffs have no admissible evidence to show such
infringement under plaintiff's construction. (Civ. No. 12-650, 0.1. 185 at 12) To the
extent that the court has construed the water content to be measured "as formulated,"
the test results obtained by Karl Fischer titration, used to test the total water content
"contained in" the final packet, are excluded as not relevant to the water content as
3
As noted, the Henkel defendants switched to the reformulated products on July
18, 2012. The Henkel defendants note that product data sheets for the reformulated
products were produced by at least May 2013. (Civ. No. 12-650, 0.1. 227 at ,-r 16)
4
Henkel argues that inducement relies on direct infringement and sales
information can only be a proper secondary consideration if the patent covers the
product.
10
formulated. 5
Under the court's claim construction, the proper inquiry is the water content "as
formulated" (that argued for by defendants). As the Henkel defendants' specifications
call for a target water content near 4%, 6 there exist no genuine issues of material fact
with respect to whether the Henkel defendants' original products infringed the '319
patent. 7 The Henkel defendants' motion for summary judgment of non-infringement is
denied in this regard. (Civ. No. 12-650, D.l. 168) Moreover, consistent with the court's
claim construction and analysis, 8 the court is inclined to enter summary judgment sua
sponte in favor of plaintiffs that the Henkel defendants' original products infringed the
5
1n arguing for their proposed construction of the water content, plaintiffs agreed
that under defendants' construction, "testing the accused product's water percentage is
completely irrelevant because the only testing that is relevant is that of the liquid 'to be
placed' in the container, when the liquid is not actually part of the container and not an
infringing product." (Civ. No. 12-650, D.l. 57 at 12-13) Defendants' motions to exclude
are granted with respect to plaintiffs' product testing. (Civ. No. 12-650, D.l. 161; Civ.
No. 12-651, D.l. 167) As the Henkel defendants' motion to strike the March 6
supplemental expert reports of Drs. Di Vincenzo and Kong refer to such testing, this
motion is denied as moot. (Civ. No. 12-651, D.l. 167)
6
See, e.g., specification sheets specifying water contents ranging from 3.996% to
4.0351%. (Civ. No. 12-650, D.l. 218, ex. U at HEN274574; ex. Vat HEN16770; exs. W,
X, Y, Z at HEN262600, HEN416029, HEN277 464, HEN494695; see also Civ. No. 12650, D.l. 199, ex. A at 12-15, 37 -38) The Mountain Breeze data sheets specify water
contents ranging from 3.9877% to 3.9958%. (See Civ. No. 12-650, 0.1. 218, ex. AA at
HEN16774; ex. CC at HEN262608; ex. DO at 494703; see also Civ. No. 12-650, D. I.
199, ex. A at 7-11, 38)
7
1ndeed, defendants' expert, Dr. Cairns, explained that, "[r]egardless of whether
the water content of the liquid cleaning concentrate is determined at the time the liquid
cleaning concentrate is prepared or after it is placed in the packet (but at the time of
manufacture), there will be no quantitative difference in the water content." (Civ. No.
12-650, D. I. 78 at 'if48)

See infra as to Sun's motion for summary judgment.

'319 patent. 9 See Anderson v. Wachovia Mortg. Corp., 621 F.3d 261, 280 (3d Cir.
201 0) (quoting Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 326 (1986)) ("[D]istrict courts are
widely acknowledged to possess the power to enter summary judgments sua sponte,
so long as the losing party was on notice that [it] had to come forward with all of [its]
evidence."); see also Talecris Biotherapeutics, Inc. v. Baxter lnt'/, Inc., 510 F. Supp. 2d
356, 362 (D. Del. 2007) (This court has held that when one party moves for summary
judgment against an adversary, Fed. R. Civ. P. 54( c) and 56, when read together, give
the court the power to render a summary judgment for the adversary if it is clear that the
case warrants that result, even though the adversary has not filed a cross-motion for
summary judgment.). The propriety of doing so will be addressed at the pre-trial
conference.
iii. Whether Henkel Consumer Goods and Henkel
Corporation are proper parties to this action
The Henkel defendants further move for summary judgment in favor of both
Henkel Consumer Goods and Henkel Corporation because they are not proper parties
(but merely have a corporate relationship to Dial) to this action, arguing that Dial alone
made, used, and sold the accused products. (Civ. No. 12-650, D.l. 185 at 18)10
9
More specifically, the specifications for the original products call for water
contents that fall within the scope of independent claim 1 and dependent claim 3.
Arguments addressing dependent claims 6-8, having to do with the film of the cleaning
packets, were not included in the summary judgment briefing.
10
Defendants had previously requested that plaintiffs stipulate to summary
judgment with respect to Henkel Corporation and Henkel Consumer Goods. (Civ. No.
12-650, D. I. 186 at~ 3) "Plaintiffs did not disagree that Dial was the only entity that
'makes, uses, offers to sell, or sells' the accused products, [but] they were only willing to
consider Henkel's other requests as part of a larger stipulation on unrelated issues."
(/d.)
12
Plaintiffs argue that there is conflicting testimony as to whether Dial or Henkel
Consumer Goods manufactured and sold the products and, regardless, Henkel
Consumer Goods' personnel were thoroughly involved in marketing and branding the
accused products. Therefore, Henkel Consumer Goods may be liable for inducing
infringement even if Dial bears sole responsibility for the manufacture and sale. (See
Civ. No. 12-650, D.l. 217 at 13-17) The court agrees that there is a question of fact as
to the extent of Henkel Consumer Goods' involvement in the accused products. The
Henkel defendants' motion for summary judgment is denied with respect to Henkel
Consumer Goods. (Civ. No. 12-650, D. I. 168) As plaintiffs have stated that they do not
oppose the Henkel defendants' motion as it relates to Henkel Corporation (Civ. No. 12650, D.l. 217 at 13 n.8), 11 summary judgment is granted with respect to Henkel
Corporation. (Civ. No. 12-650, D.l. 168)
iv. Indirect infringement
The Henkel defendants move for summary judgment on the grounds that
plaintiffs can only receive one recovery on the sales of the accused products and,
because plaintiffs' theory of induced infringement relies on Dial's customers' use of the
accused products, any possible recovery under that claim would be entirely duplicative
of the recovery for the alleged direct infringement. (Civ. No. 12-650, D.l. 185 at 21)
Plaintiffs respond that questions of double recovery are for the damages phase and, at
this stage, plaintiffs may pursue multiple claims under any applicable legal theory. (Civ.
11
The Henkel defendants request fees and cost associated with plaintiffs'
continued refusal to dismiss Henkel Corporation fr
