FUNCTIONALITY RELATING TO, AND DISMISSAL OF U.S. 

PATENTS NO. 6,929,751; AND 7,083,719 

1 Case No. C 07-01359 PJH (JL) 

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs have asserted in this action infringement of United States Patent 

No. 6,929,751 entitled “Vented Medical Fluid Tip Protector Methods” (“the ’751 patent”) and 

United States Patent No. 7,083,719 entitled “Medical System Including Vented Tip Protector” 

(“the ’719 patent”) in Counts VIII and IX of Plaintiffs’ First Amended Complaint, respectively; 

WHEREAS, the Parties previously stayed by joint stipulation Counts VIII and IX of 

Plaintiffs’ First Amended Complaint and Defendants’ related Counterclaims and Affirmative 

Defenses (Dkt. No. 234); 

WHEREAS, Defendants have removed functionality from the LibertyTM peritoneal 

dialysis cycler relating to the basis for Plaintiffs’ assertion of Counts VIII and IX, as reflected in 

the deposition testimony of several Fresenius employees as well as several of Defendants’ 

discovery responses; and 

WHEREAS Defendants state in their Supplemental Response to Baxter Healthcare 

Corporation’s Amended First Set of Interrogatories (No. 3), dated April 1, 2009, that “Fresenius 

changed the accused Liberty’s priming mechanism to operate in a similar manner to previous 

Fresenius peritoneal dialysis cyclers.” 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties and their counsel of record stipulate as follows: 

• Defendants agree that they will not make, use, sell, or offer for sale within the United 

States or import into or export from the United States any peritoneal dialysis machine 

using the “priming” functionality—or mere colorable variations of the functionality 

removed from the LibertyTM peritoneal dialysis cycler—as claimed in U.S. Patent No. 

6,929,751 until after the expiration of U.S. Patent No. 6,929,751, or until after a 

declaration that the previously asserted claims of the patent are invalid made by i) the 

United States Patent And Trademark Office or ii) a court of competent jurisdiction; 

• Defendants agree that they will not make, use, sell, or offer for sale within the United 

States or import into or export from the United States any peritoneal dialysis machine 

using the “priming” functionality—or mere colorable variations of the functionality 

removed from the LibertyTM peritoneal dialysis cycler—as claimed in U.S. Patent No.

• All claims, defenses and counterclaims relating to U.S. Patents No. 6,929,751; and 

7,083,719 shall be dismissed, without prejudice from the instant litigation, with each 

party to bear its own costs and attorneys’ fees as to such claims, defenses and 

counterclaims; and
