ORDER REQUESTING

SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEFING

Currently before the Court is the motion by Cordis for damages and injunctive relief or, in the

alternative, for a new jury trial on damages. The Court believes that additional briefing on this motion

would be helpful. Specifically, the Court asks the parties to file supplemental letter briefs, not

exceeding five pages, on the question of how 35 U.S.C. § 284, which states that “[w]hen the damages

are not found by a jury, the court shall assess them,” affects the parties’ Seventh Amendment rights.

The parties shall file such briefs no later than 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, February 14, and shall be

prepared to discuss this question at oral argument.

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: February 11, 2008
