MICROSOFT CORPORATION, and NINTENDO OF AMERICA, INC., Defendants. § § § § § § § § § § Hon. Ron Clark Civil Action No. 9:06-CV-00158-RC ORDER ON DEFENDANTS' OBJECTIONS TO PLAINTIFF'S TRIAL EXHIBITS [Doc. #283] Plaintiff's Trial Ex. No. PX9 07/02/1999 E-mail from B. Armstrong to T. Holmdahl re: more thorough product demos (Holmdahl Deposition, 10/18/2007, Ex. 178) [MSANAS159894 -MSANAS159895] Defendants' Objections Pre-Suit Interactions: Defs' MIL No. 5 (Presuit Interactions) (Presuit Interactions); Rule 403 (Prejudice, Confusion, Waste of Time). Plaintiff's Response Email chain between Brad Armstrong and Todd Holmdahl corroborates meeting between the two on May 5, 1999. The fact that a Microsoft employee met with Mr. Armstrong goes to show the value of his technology, and is evidence of the value of the technology in a hypothetical negotiation. This is evidence of licensing activity, which rebuts assertions that Anascape is only interested in litigation. Shows knowledge of Armstrong's technology, supporting Anascape's pre-filing willfulness case. This email shows that Holmdahl had considered Armstrong's technology, Court's Ruling Exhibit Withdrawn PX10 08/12/1999 E-mail from T. Holmdahl to B.

Plaintiff's Response but had decided to look at their "full plate of products." This shows awareness of Armstrong's inventions, and supports Anascape's willfulness case. This email shows Holmdahl sharing 10 emails between him and Brad Armstrong with another Microsoft employee. This shows Microsoft's interest in the technology, and is evidence of the value of the technology in a hypothetical negotiation. This supports a finding that Microsoft knew of the '700 Patent before the litigation, and supports Anascape's pre-filing willfulness case. This is an email between Todd Holmdahl and Paul Lovell, sharing Mr. Armstrong's contact information. This shows interest, and therefore the value, of Armstrong's technology, and also supports Anascape's willfulness case. This letter shows that Kelly Tyler retained Mr. Stolar to help them license its technology. This document does not discuss settlements whatsoever, and therefore does not offend Rule 408. This rebuts Defendants' assertion that Anascape is only interested in litigation. Court's Ruling PX11 08/23/1999 E-mail from T. Holmdahl to P. Lovell forwarding B.
