`
`JOINT NOTICE REGARDING PRETRIAL AGREEMENTS
`In accordance with the Court’s Fourth Amended Docket Control Order, Dkt. 205,
`
`Plaintiff Touchstream Technologies, Inc. (“Touchstream”) and Defendants Comcast Cable
`
`Communications, LLC et al. (“Comcast”) (collectively, the “parties”) jointly submit this
`
`notification of agreements reached during their pre-trial meet and confer held on December 11,
`
`2024.
`
`The parties have agreed to amend their exhibit lists. The parties have exchanged updated
`
`exhibit lists and objections. The updated lists are attached as Exhibits A1 (Joint Exhibit List), A2
`
`(Touchstream’s Non-Joint Exhibit List), and A3 (Comcast’s Non-Joint Exhibit List). The parties
`
`have not waived any other objections to these documents. The parties have agreed to the exhibits
`
`1
`
`

`

`Case 2:23-cv-00059-JRG-RSP Document 222 Filed 12/16/24 Page 2 of 5 PageID #:

`
`on the Joint Exhibit List only insofar as they are not excluded by the Court’s rulings on the parties’
`
`motions in limine, motions to strike, and motions for summary judgment, and reserve the right to
`
`object to any exhibits currently on the Joint Exhibit List should the Court grant any such motions.
`
`The parties have also exchanged updated deposition designations to reflect resolution of
`
`a technical error that omitted certain designations from the previous set, and to further reflect the
`
`parties’ narrowing of certain of Touchstream’s designations and objections. The parties are
`
`continuing to narrow the disputes for deposition designations to be played on the first day of trial,
`
`and the parties will submit revised day 1 deposition designations and objections before the pretrial
`
`conference as forthcoming Exhibit C.
`
`Additionally, the parties have amended their proposed jury instructions, which are
`
`attached as Exhibit B, with disputed proposals in brackets and footnoted objections and comments.
`
`Lastly, regarding Comcast’s MIL No.1, the parties have agreed that “Touchstream will
`
`not present any evidence, testimony, or argument concerning any alleged monitoring by Comcast
`
`of the 2007 Sprint/Vonage trial unless Comcast opens the door, at which point Touchstream will
`
`approach the bench prior to seeking to elicit any such evidence, testimony, or argument.”
`
`The remaining pending motions are:
`
`1. Dkt. 83: Comcast’s Motion to Strike the Opinions of Dr. Russell Mangum;
`
`2. Dkt. 84: Comcast’s Motion to Strike Certain Opinions of Dr. Kevin Almeroth;
`
`3. Dkt. 85: Comcast’s Motion for Partial Summary Judgment of Non-Infringement;
`
`4. Dkt. 86: Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment of Invalidity under 35 U.S.C.
`§ 101;
`
`5. Dkt. 88: Touchstream’s Motion for Summary Judgment of Validity Under 35 U.S.C.
