ORDER
October 20, 2015
Saris, C.J.
The defendants have filed a Daubert Motion/Motion in Limine
to exclude BU’s expert infringement testimony based upon
unreliable and undisclosed testing (Docket No. 1407). BU has
opposed the motion (Docket No. 1436). After a review of the
papers, I DENY the defendants’ motion for the following reasons.
1
The defendants do not challenge the qualifications of BU’s
experts or their employed methodology. The focus appears to be
on the failure of the experts to properly disclose their testing
data and the images used to form their opinions. BU has
demonstrated that it has produced the underlying data and images
by citing to disclosures filed on the docket. The defendants are
also challenging the interpretation of the data by BU’s experts.
The issue of data interpretation, and the other issues raised by
the defendants, like chain of custody for the tested samples,
properly go to the weight and not to the admissibility of the
expert evidence.
The defendants’ Daubert Motion/Motion in Limine (Docket No.
1407) is DENIED.
