`DEFENDANTS’ MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT AND DAUBERT MOTION
`TO EXCLUDE EXPERT TESTIMONY
`
`
`
`Defendants ArcherDX, Inc., ArcherDX, LLC, and Invitae Corp. hereby move for
`
`summary judgment that:
`
`1.
`
`Defendants do not infringe the ’482, ’172, and ’814 patents because they use
`
`different universal primers in successive PCRs;
`
`2.
`
`Defendants’ PCM, Stratafide, and LiquidPlex products do not infringe the
`
`asserted patents because they do not satisfy the Court’s construction of “target loci;”
`
`3.
`
`Defendants do not infringe the ’708 patent because the Accused Products do not
`
`satisfy the Court’s construction of “a melting temperature of the at least 2 primers;”
`
`4.
`
`5.
`
`6.
`
`7.
`
`The asserted claims of the ’708 patent are invalid in view of Blomquist;
`
`The claims of the ’708 patent are invalid as indefinite;
`
`The asserted patents are not enabled for their full scope; AND
`
`The ’482, ’172, ’814, and ’220 patents are not entitled to claim the benefit of the
`
`’508 and/or ’235 applications and are invalid for lack of written description.

`
`
`Defendants also move under Daubert to exclude from trial certain testimony of Plaintiff’s
`
`witnesses Dr. Spellman, Mr. Wojcik, Dr. Quackenbush, Dr. Sullivan, and Mr. Stoll.
`
`
`
`The basis for these Motions is set forth in the memorandum of law filed
`
`contemporaneously herewith.
`
`
`
`Pursuant to D. Del. LR 7.1.1, Plaintiff opposes the relief related to the Daubert motions.
