| Oct 10, 2023 | 43 | RESPONSE TO LETTERS FROM PARTIES. I am perfectly happy to go back and take a look at that one issue - without so much as another word's being written on the subject - and get back to the parties with a merits ruling. But that ruling will not be made in connection with a motion in limine. It is not a proper subject for a motion in limine. The ball is in Lutron's court. (Signed by Judge Colleen McMahon on 10/10/23) BY ECF TO ALL COUNSEL. (yv) (Entered: 10/10/2023) (2) |

For the foregoing reasons, The Court rules on each motion as summarized in the following table: and further set forth in this Order. This decision will temporarily be filed under seal. In accordance with this court's prior order temporarily sealing certain documents referencing material that the parties deem to be confidential, (Docket No. 106), the parties have until 10 days from today to identify any portion of this decision that should remain under seal because they contain the sort of information that is properly filed under seal. Pages and paragraphs in this opinion and in briefs must be identified with specificity, as must exhibits or portions thereof, and each designation must be accompanied by an explanation of why sealing should be permitted in light of the presumption of public access. After I have received any submissions, I will make the necessary rulings and this opinion will be publicly filed, either in its entirety or in appropriately redacted form. The parties should be aware that, as of the present moment, I see no reason to redact anything from this opinion. They should recall that the trial will be a public, open courtroom trial and everything that goes on, and every bit of evidence, will be publicly available.This constitutes the opinion and order of the court. It is a written opinion.The Clerk of the Court is respectfully directed to file this Order under seal, with access restricted to the parties and the court.

| May 5, 2022 | 40 | Memorandum & Opinion (23) Docket Text: CLAIM CONSTRUCTION DECISION: Finally, complete concealment is embodied in the description of the invention and in every single figure illustrating the detailed description - most especially in Figure 21, which illustrates the bracket that is configured to accept the electrical wire and to obscure it when attached to the support (wall). I have noted previously that claim language cannot be limited to the preferred embodiment, even if only a single embodiment is disclosed. But where every disclosed embodiment shows a bracket containing an interior passage that would fully obscure any electrical wires run there through - and where nothing in the disputed claim language in the patents in suit, or in anything else in the patents that is not directed to the disallowed "obscures a view" claims, suggests any other meaning for the word "obscures" -- adding the words "from at least one viewpoint" to the claim language goes well beyond anything claimed by the inventor in the claims here under construction. I thus adhere to the construction I put on "obscure/obscures/obscured" in connection with the '821 Patent. The jury will be told that the phrase means "you can't see the wires because the bracket is configured to hide them." (as further set forth herein). This constitutes the decision and order of the Court. It is a written opinion. (Signed by Judge Colleen McMahon on 5/5/2022) Filed In Associated Cases: 1:18-cv-05290-CM, 1:19-cv-04693-CM, 1:20-cv-10195-CM BY ECF TO ALL COUNSEL (kv) |
