Intellectual Ventures II LLC v. Sprint Spectrum, L.P. et al, No. 2:17-cv-00662 (E.D. Tex. Apr. 11, 2019)

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 Defendants’ Sealed Dau bert Motion to Exclude the Expert Opinions of Dr. Douglas A. Chrissan. (Dkt. No. 296.) Having considered the Motion, and for the reasons described herein, the Court DENIES Defendants’ Motion. Defendants argue that Chrissan is not sufficiently qualified to perform patent valuations as he does not have any “experience with paten t valuation whatsoever.” (Dkt. No. 296 at 6.) This ignores the fact that Chrissan served in a similar role in a case (“the 577 case”) betw een some of the same parties a few months ago.
