1 to the-Agreement.1 See Exh. G (Layne-Fanar Op. Rpt.) at ,i,i 204-208, 290-91; Exh. J (Birns 

2 Reh. Rpt.) at ,i,i 152, 135. Cisco will be able to cross-examine these expe1is and present its own 

3 evidence at trial. Cisco's arguments regarding prejudice go to the weight (not admissibility) of the 

4 settlement agreement amount. See Dkt. No. 549 (Order on Daubert Motions) at 23 ("Any dispute 

5 as to Dr. Becker's determinations regarding specific license agreements ... can be addressed through 

6 cross-examination at trial."); Carucel Invs., Ltd. P'ship v. Novatel Wireless, Inc., No. 16-cv-118-H7 KSC, 2017 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 50855, at *30 (S.D. Cal. 2017) (allowing expe1i to rely on royalty 

8 payment amount in settlement agreement and stating that defendants' "concerns go to the weight of 

9 [the expert's] testimony, not its admissibility"); Papst Licensing GmbH & Co., KG v. Samsung 

10 Elecs. Co., 2018 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 231694, *5 (E.D. Tex. 2018) (similar). 

11 Finally, Cisco claims the-Agreement should be excluded because it was excluded in the 

12 Blue Coat II case. Dkt. No. 532-6 at 3. But admissibility depends on the specific facts of the case, 

13 and the facts here are different than in Blue Coat II. See, e.g., Exh. K (Jan. 9, 2020 Summaiy 

14 Judgment Hrg Tr.) at 114:9-12. In Blue Coat IL unlike here, it appears obviousness was not an issue 

15 before the jmy. See Finjan, Inc. v. Blue Coat Sys., Case No. 15-cv-03295, Dkt. No. 435. Also, it 

16 appears the settlement was excluded because it was many times lai·ger than the 

17 next highest relevant license. See Finjan, Inc. v. Blue Coat Sys., Case No. 15-cv-03295, Dkt. 404 

18 (redacted version), at 18-19 (N.D. Cal. 2017). That is not the case here. See Exh. G (Layne-Fanar 

19 Op. Rpt.) at,I,I 251, 211 ). In fact, 

20 this Comi previously allowed the-Agreement to be admitted in the Blue Coat I case, which 

21 Cisco fails to acknowledge. See Finjan, Inc. v. Blue Coat Sys., 2016 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 93267, *13 

22 (N.D. Cal. 2016).

Cisco ai·gues Finjan "should likewise be precluded from referencing the $9 .18 million jmy 

1 Cisco also appears to argue that Dr. Layne-Fairnr should not be able to rely on the settlement 

amount from the-Agreement. This is an untimely Daubert argument and should be shuck. See 

Hynix Semiconductor v. Rambus, Nos. CV-00-20905 RMW, C-05-00334 RMW, C-06-00244 

RMW, 2008 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 12195, at *15 (N.D. Cal. Feb. 3, 2008).
