OPPOSITION TO MOTION IN LIMINE TO PRECLUDE AMGEN'S EXPERT DR. TORCHILIN FROM OFFERING TESTIMONY ON LITERAL INFRINGEMENT OR INFRINGEMENT UNDER THE DOCTRINE OF EQUIVALENTS

Roche cannot preclude Dr. Torchilin from testifying on the opinions in his First, Third and Fourth Reports which address Roche's infringement of the Lin process patents under 35 U.S.C. §271(g). Dr. Torchilin's three reports opine on the material change requirement for infringement under Section 271(g), and Roche admits it cannot preclude these infringement opinions from Dr. Torchilin's three reports. Roche's motion to preclude Dr. Torchilin from testifying regarding literal infringement and infringement under the doctrine of equivalents is also moot because Dr. Torchilin will testify within the scope of his First, Third, and Fourth Expert Reports, and within the scope of his Second Expert Report to the extent that Report was specifically incorporated by reference into his Third and Fourth Reports. As such, Dr. Torchilin will confine his opinions to scope of his expert reports on infringement.
