JAMES F. HOLDERMAN, District Judge.
Fujitsu Limited ("Fujitsu") respectfully requests that the Court enter Judgment as a Matter of Law in favor of Fujitsu Limited on the defense of unenforceability raised by Tellabs Operations, Inc., Tellabs, Inc., and Tellabs North America, Inc. ("Tellabs").
Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 50, judgment as a matter of law is appropriate if "a party has been fully heard on an issue and there is no legally sufficient evidentiary basis for a reasonable jury to find for that party on that issue." Pandya v. Edward Hosp., 1 F. App'x 543, 545 (7th Cir. 2001) (quoting Fed. R. Civ. P. 50). Tellabs has failed to offer sufficient evidence such that a reasonable jury could find in favor of Tellabs on its unenforceability defense related to Fujitsu's U.S. Patent No. 5,521,737. WHEREFORE, Fujitsu Limited respectfully requests that the Court enter Judgment as a Matter of Law pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 50 in favor of Fujitsu Limited and against Tellabs on the defense of unenforceability as to U.S. Patent No. 5,521,737.
