II. CLAIMS AND DEFENSES

1. Eko seeks a determination that a number of products sold by ARM directly infringe claim 8 of U.S. Patent No. 8,707,855 ("the 855 patent") under 35 U.S.C. § 271(a), specifically the following ARM products: ECO-FILL DELUXE 2.0 (or ECO-FILL 2.0); ECO-FILL DELUXE (or ECO-FILL 2 PACK DELUXE), which was sold by ARM in packs of 2; and ECO-FLOW (Original) "v1" and ECO-FLOW (New) "v2" ("Accused Products"). As used herein, original claim 9 and amended claim 8 of the 855 patent are understood as being the same claim and are jointly referred to as "Amended claim 8." For purposes of this trial, the parties have stipulated that ARM's Accused Products directly infringe Amended claim 8. (See Dkt. 208 (Stipulation)).

2. This matter also includes a claim for declaratory judgment of patent invalidity arising under the Federal Declaratory Judgment Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2201, et seq. and under the Patent Laws of the United States, 35 U.S.C § 1 et seq. Eko seeks a declaratory judgment that claims 8 and 19 of ARM's U.S. Patent No. 8,720,320 ("the 320 patent") patent are invalid as obvious under 35 U.S.C. § 103.

3. Eko seeks an award of damages adequate to compensate it for the infringement that has occurred, but in no event less than a reasonable royalty for the use made of the invention by ARM, together with the prejudgment interest from the date infringement of the 855 patent issued.

4. Eko seeks increased damages as permitted under 35 U.S.C. § 284.

5. Eko seeks a finding that this case is exceptional and a further award of its attorney's fees and costs as provided in 35 U.S.C. § 285.

6. Eko seeks a permanent injunction prohibiting ARM's further infringement of the 855 patent as provided in 35 U.S.C. § 283.

7. Eko seeks a determination that ARM's infringement of the 855 patent has been willful.

8. As an affirmative defense, ARM seeks a determination that its Accused Products do not directly infringe Amended claim 8 of the 855 patent.

9. ARM disputes the reasonable royalty and the amount of damages including increased damages that Eko seeks under 35 U.S.C. § 284.

10. ARM denies that this case is exceptional and denies that Eko is entitled to attorney's fees and costs under 35 U.S.C. § 285.

11. ARM denies that Eko can establish that any direct infringement by ARM has been willful.

12. ARM denies that Eko can satisfy the requirements applicable to its request for injunctive relief.

13. ARM denies that Eko can satisfy the requirements for obtaining damages under 35 U.S.C. § 287.

14. ARM denies that Eko can establish liability for direct infringement against Mr. Rivera. No individual liability is sought by Eko against Mr. Rivera in his individual capacity. JPD.

III. ADMITTED FACTS

1. Provisional patent application U.S. App. No. 61/484,150 was filed on May 9, 2011.

2. U.S. App. No. 13/467,792 was filed on May 9, 2012, claiming priority to U.S. App. No. 61/484,150. This application later issued as U.S. Patent No. 8,707,855 on April 29, 2014, and lists Mr. Ronald DeMiglio as the first-named inventor.

3. Eko is the owner of the 855 patent.

4. U.S. Patent Application No. 11/777,831, which led to the 320 patent was filed on July 13, 2007.

5. U.S. Patent No. 8,720,320 issued on May 13, 2014 and names Mr. Adrian Rivera as the inventor.

6. Mr. Rivera is the owner of the 320 patent.

7. The Accused Products are designed to be used in single-serve brewing machines such as Keurig machines.

8. On April 19, 2016 ARM filed for ex parte reexamination of original claims 8, 9, 12, and 13 of the 855 patent in an effort to invalidate those claims based on ARM's U.S. Patent No. 8,720,320 and U.S. Patent Application No. 2013/0017303.

9. At the conclusion of the reexamination, claim 8 was amended to incorporate the content of claim 9 in order to be deemed patentable over ARM's 320 patent, as well as the 303 application to Robert Vu.

10. The Patent Office issued its reexamination certificate on February 21, 2017.

11. In the reexamination certificate the Patent Office stated that "Claim 8 is determined to be patentable as amended," with the amendments made to claim 8 printed in italics.

12. For purposes of this trial, the parties have stipulated that ARM's Accused Products directly infringe Amended claim 8. (See Dkt. 208 (Stipulation)). ARM reserves its rights and intends to appeal the issue of direct infringement to the Federal Cicuit Court of Appeals.

13. A person having an ordinary level of skill in the art with respect to the field of the invention in Application No. 11/777,831 would be a person having education and training in engineering and food science. This person would have a background in the design of mechanical and hydraulic systems/machines, understanding of materials from the perspective of food safety as well as mechanical properties and manufacturability, and understanding of the nuances of extraction of flavor, caffeine and color from brewable materials such as coffee or tea. One example of such a person would be someone trained as design engineer or engineering designer. The knowledge of brewable materials would typically be found in a person trained in beverage product development or food science. Industry experience of five years or more in the detailed design and development of beverage brewing and dispensing machines would be equivalent to the formal education described above.

IV. ISSUES OF LAW

The following are the issues of law to be determined by the court:

1. Whether claim 8 of ARM's 320 patent is invalid as being obvious under 35 U.S.C. § 103. The parties dispute whether the Court or the jury will make the ultimate determination of obviousness. Eko submits that while the jury may be asked about questions of fact underlying the ultimate question of obviousness, it is not allowed to make the ultimate determination of obviousness, which is a question of law solely for the Court. ARM submits that it is well established that while obviousness is a question of law, the factual underpinnings of obviousness are questions of fact for the jury.

2. Whether claim 19 of ARM's 320 patent is invalid as being obvious under 35 U.S.C. § 103. The parties dispute whether the Court or the jury will make the ultimate determination of obviousness. Eko submits that while the jury may be asked about questions of fact underlying the ultimate question of obviousness, it is not allowed to make the ultimate determination of obviousness, which is a question of law solely for the Court. ARM submits that it is well established that while obviousness is a question of law, the factual underpinnings of obviousness are questions of fact for the jury.
