Patent Law

From Docket Navigator's Docket Report:

The court denied Defendant's motion to strike the declaration of plaintiff's expert, an English Professor, on "the proper function of a comma."  "[The expert] is qualified to testify as to the function of a comma in English grammar . . . To the extent Defendant argues that [the expert's] opinion contradicts the intrinsic evidence or that [she] does not have expertise in the specific technical area of the [patent-in-suit], the Court finds that these issues merely impact the weight that should be given to [her] opinion."
