Before the Court is Wi-LAN Inc.’s (“Wi-LAN”) Motion for Judgment as a Matter of Law Under FRCP 50(b) or, in the Alternative, Motion for a New Trial Under FRCP 59 (Dkt. No. 635).

Wi-LAN filed this patent infringement action against Apple Inc. (“Apple”) on February 2, 2011, accusing the iPhone and iPad devices of infr inging claims 1 and 10 of U.S. Patent No.
