IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF DELAWARE KYPHON, INC., Plaintiff, v. DISC-O-TECH MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES, LTD. and DISC ORTHOPAEDIC TECHNOLOGIES, INC., Defendants. Civil Action No. 04-0204-JJF

DEFENDANTS' DISC-O-TECH MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES, LTD. AND DISC ORTHOPAEDIC TECHNOLOGIES, INC.'S COUNTER-DESIGNATIONS AND OBJECTIONS

Kyphon's Deposition Designations--Liability Phases Eisenhart DOT Objections: DOT objects to the use of any portion of Mr.

Eisenhart's testimony at phases 1 and 2 of trial. Mr. Eisenhart is an attorney who prepared non-infringement opinions relating to the `404, '888 and `043 patents, which DOT will rely on as part of DOT's evidence of lack of willfulness, should there be a trial on that issue. Mr. Eisenhart's testimony is relevant only to phase three of trial, should there be one, relating to willfulness and damages. It is improper to use his testimony as, in effect, expert testimony. His role as a fact witness was restricted to the context of willfulness, and his testimony should, accordingly, be limited to phase three willfulness issues, should a phase three trial occur. In addition to the foregoing objections, and without waiver of them, in the event the Court were to permit the introduction of Mr. Eisenhart's testimony during
