STIP RE: RAMBUS’S MOTION IN LIMINE NO. 10 

CASE NOS. 00-20905; 05-00334; 06-00224 RMW

:\DOCUM 

WHEREAS, on August 3, 2006, this Court ruled in Case No. 00-20905 on 

Rambus’s motion in limine to preclude the use of derogatory characterizations of patents and 

patentholders, granting the motion as to the term “patent troll” and limiting the use of the term 

“submarine patent.” 

WHEREAS, Rambus renewed that motion in Case Nos. 05-00334 and 06-00244 

for purposes of the January 29, 2008 trial of the claims and defenses set forth in Attachment A of 

the Case Management Order dated April 24, 2007 (together with the 00-20905 case, hereinafter 

“the January ‘08 Trial”). The renewed motion is Rambus’s Motion In Limine No. 10 to exclude 

evidence of derogatory characterizations of patents and patentholders. 

WHEREAS, the parties have agreed to extend the August 3, 2006 ruling to the 

renewed motion in limine no. 10. 

IT IS THEREFORE STIPULATED AND ORDERED THAT no party will use the 

term “patent troll” during the January ‘08 Trial. It is further ordered that the term “submarine 

patent” may only be used (1) to the extent it was discussed in connection with any JEDEC 

meeting or policy; (2) during closing argument, unless, after the presentation of evidence at trial, 

the Court grants a request by Rambus seeking preclusion of the use of the term; and (3) during the 

prosecution laches part of the trial before the Court. 

SO ORDERED.
