Mylan’s Likelihood of Success in the Patent Litigation A reasonable jury could also conclude that Mylan was more likely than not to prevail based upon the testimony of patent litigation experts.

  4. Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp. v. Fresenius Kabi USA, Llc

    BRIEF in Opposition

    Filed October 3, 2016

    Merck also objects to this interrogatory as premature on the ground that Fresenius has not yet specified through invalidity contentions any grounds alleging invalidity due to obviousness, despite bearing the burden of proving invalidity. The ’300 patent is presumed valid under 35 U.S.C. § 282, and Fresenius bears the burden of establishing invalidity by clear and convincing evidence. Merck further objects to this interrogatory to the extent it prematurely seeks expert discovery.

  8. Garmin Switzerland GMBH et al v. Navico, Inc. et al

    RESPONSE to 94 Markman Brief

    Filed January 8, 2018

    14 Navico’s feigned confusion over how to analyze cartographic data using a marine route 13 Defendants’ expert was tellingly silent on the issue despite Defendants’ lofty burden. See 35 U.S.C. § 282; Intel, 319 F.3d at 1366 (“Any fact critical to a holding on indefiniteness [] must be proven by the challenger by clear and convincing evidence.”). 14 Indeed, Navico itself apparently had no difficulty understanding “marine route calculation algorithm” when it affirmatively used the phrase to describe the invention to the Patent Office long before this suit was filed. Doc. 99- 16 at 8 (“Rather, [the ‘703 patent] discloses routes that are calculated in real time, based on dynamic analysis of cartographic data and using marine route calculation algorithms....”).
