`OMNIBUS ORDER ON THE PARTIES’ DISPUTED MOTIONS IN LIMINE
`
`After considering briefing and holding oral arguments on January 17, 2024, the Court
`
`hereby enters its rulings on the following disputed Motions in Limine:
`
`Plaintiff Flypsi, Inc. (d/b/a Flyp)’s disputed Motions in Limine (Dkts. 223, 237):
`
`● Plaintiff’s Motion in Limine No. 1 seeking to preclude any argument or evidence
`
`regarding inventorship or specific contributions of each inventor to the Patents-in-Suit
`
`is DENIED.
`
`● Plaintiff’s Motion in Limine No. 4 seeking to preclude any argument or evidence that
`
`Flyp has the burden to establish the changes in Google Voice is DENIED. Google
`
`stipulates that it will not suggest to the jury that Flyp has the burden of proof on
`
`Google’s affirmative defense of prior use; however, Google shall be permitted to elicit
`
`testimony and argue that Flyp cannot identify changes to Google Voice during one or
`
`more particular time periods.
