Case No. 2:05-CV-02433-JWL-DJW

SPRINT'S MOTION TO MODIFY JUDGMENT TO INCLUDE ENHANCED DAMAGES Pursuant to Rule 59(e) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Sprint Communications Company L.P. ("Sprint") moves to modify the judgment of this Court entered on September 25, 2007, to include enhanced damages. Sprint respectfully requests that, pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 284, the Court add enhanced damages to the judgment in the amount of $139,000,000. The factors discussed in Read Corp. v. Portec, Inc., 970 F.2d 816, 826-27 (Fed. Cir. 1992) each strongly support a significant enhanced damages award in this case for the reasons detailed in the Brief in Support of this motion. Sprint files contemporaneously with this motion a motion for extension of time to file its Brief in Support of this motion. This brief will more fully set forth the reasons this award is appropriate in this case.
