From the Opinion

The passage below is extracted verbatim from the opening of the document. It has not been editorially summarized — consult the full opinion for the court's complete reasoning.

Before the Court is MTEL’s Objecti ons to Deposition Testimony Designated by Samsung. MTEL objects to the deposition testimony on a number of grounds, the most salient of which is that the objected-to testimony of invent ors is improper expert testimony rather than fact testimony as Samsung alleges. The Court makes the below rulings keeping in mind the fact that there is no way to draw a clear line on when a inventor testimony is simple factual testimony as opposed to when it becomes expert testimony.
