J. Robart orders a supplemental briefing on the manufacturer's motion to dismiss the metal supplier's complaint that the manufacturer infringed on the metal supplier's patents related to fire-blocking devices.

The manufacturer and its co-defendants may file an optional supplemental reply to that supplemental brief by no later than Feb. 16, 2024.

The company's uncontested response of "agreed" to a judge's email detailing the terms of the proposed settlement and a subsequent letter stating that the parties had agreed to settle this matter in principle are sufficient to confirm its agreement to the settlement terms and render the settlement enforceable.

J. Ericksen rules on several motions in limine in a patent suit regarding four patents related to artificial trees. The patent defendants may reference the existence and invalid status of eight underlying independent claims, but must avoid details of inter partes review proceedings leading to those determinations. They may also introduce evidence and testimony regarding their subjective beliefs and independent investigation into infringement and validity issues, sales data for unaccused products, and undisclosed prior art for invalidity defenses, but not evidence solely aimed at establishing inequitable conduct. The patent claimants, meanwhile, are precluded from presenting evidence or arguments regarding prior lawsuits, but may introduce evidence related to the Patent Trial and Appeal Board's analysis of secondary considerations, along with evidence of inter partes review proceedings subject to an appropriate limiting instruction and some online comments, depending on context. A motion seeking cross-examination of the patent claimant's patent prosecution attorney is premature, and testimony and an agreement from one of the claimant's witnesses is excluded.

J. Schiltz finds that there is no possible viable construction of the term "substantially rigid portion" in the patent claimant's suit alleging that the Minnesota biotech firm's catheter infringes claims in several of the claimant's patents.

J. Tigar finds in favor of Netflix regarding patent claims from a former CEO of a Finnish company that claimed Netflix was infringing on his data communications networks patent. The former CEO's claims that he has ownership of the patent under Finnish common law are irrelevant, because under U.S. patent laws the patent in dispute has been abandoned and he lacks standing to pursue any of his claims.
