After conducting a de novo review of the briefing on these motions, the Reports and
Recommendations, and the briefing on the parties Objections, the Court agrees with the reasoning
provided within the Reports and Recommendations and concludes that the Objections fail to
show that the Reports and Recommendations were erroneous. Consequently, the Court

the Partial Summary Judgment to Enforce Sotera Stipulations (Dkt. No. 258) is
DENIED

•

the Motion for Summary Judgment of Invalidity Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. §101 (Dkt.
