Platt, Christian [[e-mail]] Wednesday, August 18, 2010 12:24 PM Solo, Alex MW_v_Apple; Mirror Worlds Mirror Worlds v. Apple: Follow-up Issues regarding resolution of parties' invalidity positions

We write to follow-up on the parties' global resolution of each side's invalidity contentions. In light of the parties' agreement to allow Mirror Worlds Technologies to amend its answer to include an invalidity defense to the Piles countersuit and to serve invalidity contentions regarding the Piles patent, we propose that the parties be allowed to rely on the expert declarations of Drs. Levy and Feiner, submitted in connection with MWT's motion for summary judgment of invalidity, at trial as part of their expert disclosures under Rule 26. Similarly, in light of the parties' agreement to allow Apple to supplement its invalidity contentions, we propose that Mirror Worlds be allowed to rely at trial on Dr. Levy's supplemental expert declaration on the validity of Mirror Worlds' patents, which was submitted in opposition to Apple's motion for summary judgment of invalidity. We believe this approach is consistent with the parties' global resolution of validity issues and will avoid unnecessary motion practice. Please let us know if you agree and we will circulate an unopposed motion for leave of court along these lines. Best regards, Christian
