1 JOINT PROPOSED INSTRUCTION NO. 1

2 DUTY OF JURY
3 Members of the jury: You are now the jury in this case. It is my duty to
4 instruct you on the law.
5 These instructions are preliminary instructions to help you understand the
6 principles that apply to civil trials and to help you understand the evidence as you
7 listen to it. You will be allowed to keep this set of instructions to refer to
8 throughout the trial. These instructions are not to be taken home and must remain
9 in the jury room when you leave in the evenings. At the end of the trial, these
10 instructions will be collected and I will give you a final set of instructions. It is the
11 final set of instructions that will govern your deliberations.
12 It is your duty to find the facts from all the evidence in the case. To those
13 facts you will apply the law as I give it to you. You must follow the law as I give
14 it to you whether you agree with it or not. And you must not be influenced by any
15 personal likes or dislikes, opinions, prejudices or sympathy. That means that you
16 must decide the case solely on the evidence before you. You will recall that you
17 took an oath to do so.
18 Please do not read into these instructions or anything I may say or do that I
19 have an opinion regarding the evidence or what your verdict should be.

2 BURDEN OF PROOF – PREPONDERANCE OF THE EVIDENCE
3 When a party has the burden of proving any claim or affirmative defense by
4 a preponderance of the evidence, it means you must be persuaded by the evidence
5 that the claim or affirmative defense is more probably true than not true.
6 You should base your decision on all of the evidence, regardless of which
7 party presented it.

2 BURDEN OF PROOF – CLEAR AND CONVINCING EVIDENCE
3 When a party has the burden of proving any claim or defense by clear and
4 convincing evidence, it means that the party must present evidence that leaves you
5 with a firm belief or conviction that it is highly probable that the factual
6 contentions of the claim or defense are true. This is a higher standard of proof than
7 proof by a preponderance of the evidence, but it does not require proof beyond a
8 reasonable doubt.

2 WHAT IS EVIDENCE
3 The evidence you are to consider in deciding what the facts are consists of:
4 1. the sworn testimony of any witness;
5 2. the exhibits that are admitted into evidence;
6 3. any facts to which the lawyers have agreed; and
7 4. any facts that I may instruct you to accept as proved.

2 WHAT IS NOT EVIDENCE
3 In reaching your verdict, you may consider only the evidence. Certain things
4 are not evidence, and you may not consider them in deciding what the facts are. I
5 will list them for you:
6 1. Arguments and statements by lawyers are not evidence. The lawyers
7 are not witnesses. What they may say in their opening statements,
8 closing arguments and at other times is intended to help you interpret
9 the evidence, but it is not evidence. If the facts as you remember them
10 differ from the way the lawyers have stated them, your memory of
11 them controls.
12 2. Questions and objections by lawyers are not evidence. Attorneys
13 have a duty to their clients to object when they believe a question is
14 improper under the rules of evidence. You should not be influenced
15 by the objection or by the Court’s ruling on it.
16 3. Testimony that is excluded or stricken, or that you are instructed to
17 disregard, is not evidence and must not be considered. In addition
18 some evidence may be received only for a limited purpose; when I
19 instruct you to consider certain evidence only for a limited purpose,
20 you must do so and you may not consider that evidence for any other
21 purpose.
22 4. Anything you may see or hear when the Court was not in session is
23 not evidence. You are to decide the case solely on the evidence
24 received at the trial.

2 DIRECT AND CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE
3 Evidence may be direct or circumstantial. Direct evidence is direct proof of
4 a fact, such as testimony by a witness about what that witness personally saw or
5 heard or did. Circumstantial evidence is proof of one or more facts from which
6 you could find another fact. You should consider both kinds of evidence. The law
7 makes no distinction between the weight to be given to either direct or
8 circumstantial evidence. It is for you to decide how much weight to give to any
9 evidence.

2 RULING ON OBJECTIONS
3 There are rules of evidence that control what can be received into evidence.
4 When a lawyer asks a question or offers an exhibit into evidence and a lawyer on
5 the other side thinks that it is not permitted by the rules of evidence, that lawyer
6 may object. If I overrule the objection, the question may be answered or the
7 exhibit received. If I sustain the objection, the question cannot be answered, and
8 the exhibit cannot be received. Whenever I sustain an objection to a question, you
9 must ignore the question and must not guess what the answer might have been.
10 Sometimes I may order that evidence be stricken from the record and that
11 you disregard or ignore that evidence. That means when you are deciding the case,
12 you must not consider the stricken evidence for any purpose.

2 CREDIBILITY OF WITNESSES
3 In deciding the facts in this case, you may have to decide which testimony to
4 believe and which testimony not to believe. You may believe everything a witness
5 says, or part of it, or none of it.
6 In considering the testimony of any witness, you may take into account:
7 1. the opportunity and ability of the witness to see or hear or know the
8 things testified to;
9 2. the witness’s memory;
10 3. the witness’s manner while testifying;
11 4. the witness’s interest in the outcome of the case, if any;
12 5. the witness’s bias or prejudice, if any;
13 6. whether other evidence contradicted the witness’s testimony;
14 7. the reasonableness of the witness’s testimony in light of all the
15 evidence; and
16 8. any other factors that bear on believability.
17 Sometimes a witness may say something that is not consistent with
18 something else he or she said. Sometimes different witnesses will give different
19 versions of what happened. People often forget things or make mistakes in what
20 they remember. Also, two people may see the same event but remember it
21 differently. You may consider these differences, but do not decide that testimony
22 is untrue just because it differs from other testimony.
23 However, if you decide that a witness has deliberately testified untruthfully
24 about something important, you may choose not to believe anything that witness
25 said. On the other hand, if you think the witness testified untruthfully about some
26
27
50
1 things but told the truth about others, you may accept the part you think is true and
2 ignore the rest.
3 The weight of the evidence as to a fact does not necessarily depend on the
4 number of witnesses who testify about it. What is important is how believable the
5 witnesses were, and how much weight you think their testimony deserves.

2 EXPERT OPINION
3 You will hear testimony from witnesses who will testify to opinions and the
4 reasons for their opinions. This opinion testimony is allowed, because of the
5 education or experience of these witnesses.
6 Such opinion testimony should be judged like any other testimony. You
7 may accept it or reject it, and give it as much weight as you think it deserves,
8 considering the witness’s education and experience, the reasons given for the
9 opinion, and all the other evidence in the case.

2 CONDUCT OF THE JURY
3 I will now say a few words about your conduct as jurors.
4 First, keep an open mind throughout the trial, and do not decide what the
5 verdict should be until you and your fellow jurors have completed your
6 deliberations at the end of the case.
7 Second, because you must decide this case based only on the evidence
8 received in the case and on my instructions as to the law that applies, you must not
9 be exposed to any other information about the case or to the issues it involves
10 during the course of your jury duty. Thus, until the end of the case or unless I tell
11 you otherwise:
12 Do not communicate with anyone in any way and do not let anyone
13 else communicate with you in any way about the merits of the case or
14 anything to do with it. This includes discussing the case in person, in
15 writing, by phone or electronic means, via email, text messaging, or any
16 internet chat room, blog, website or application, including but not limited to
17 Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Snapchat, or any other
18 forms of social media. This applies to communicating with your fellow
19 jurors until I give you the case for deliberation, and it applies to
20 communicating with everyone else including your family members, your
21 employer, the media or press, and the people involved in the trial, although
22 you may notify your family and your employer that you have been seated as
23 a juror in the case, and how long you expect the trial to last. I have
24 instructed the attorneys and their teams not to speak with you during the
25 trial. If you are asked or approached in any way about your jury service or
26
27
50
1 anything about this case, you must respond that you have been ordered not
2 to discuss the matter and report the contact to the court.
3 Because you will receive all the evidence and legal instruction you
4 properly may consider to return a verdict: do not read, watch or listen to any
5 news or media accounts or commentary about the case or anything to do
6 with it; do not do any research, such as consulting dictionaries, searching the
7 Internet, or using other reference materials; and do not make any
8 investigation or in any other way try to learn about the case on your own.
9 Do not visit or view any place discussed in this case, and do not use Internet
10 programs or other devices to search for or view any place discussed during
11 the trial. Also, do not do any research about this case, the law, or the people
12 involved—including the parties, the witnesses or the lawyers—until you
13 have been excused as jurors. If you happen to read or hear anything
14 touching on this case in the media, turn away and report it to me as soon as
15 possible.
16 These rules protect each party’s right to have this case decided only on
17 evidence that has been presented here in court. Witnesses here in court take an
18 oath to tell the truth, and the accuracy of their testimony is tested through the trial
19 process. If you do any research or investigation outside the courtroom, or gain any
20 information through improper communications, then your verdict may be
21 influenced by inaccurate, incomplete or misleading information that has not been
22 tested by the trial process. Each of the parties is entitled to a fair trial by an
23 impartial jury, and if you decide the case based on information not presented in
24 court, you will have denied the parties a fair trial. Remember, you have taken an
25 oath to follow the rules, and it is very important that you follow these rules.
26
27
50
1 A juror who violates these restrictions jeopardizes the fairness of these

2 proceedings[, and a mistrial could result that would require the entire trial process
3 to start over]. If any juror is exposed to any outside information, please notify the
4 court immediately.

2 TAKING NOTES
3 If you wish, you may take notes to help you remember the evidence. If you
4 do take notes, please keep them to yourself until you and your fellow jurors go to
5 the jury room to decide the case. Do not let notetaking distract you. When you
6 leave, your notes should be left in the courtroom. No one will read your notes.
7 Whether or not you take notes, you should rely on your own memory of the
8 evidence. Notes are only to assist your memory. You should not be overly
9 influenced by your notes or those of other jurors.

2 BENCH CONFERENCES AND RECESSES
3 From time to time during the trial, it may become necessary for me to talk
4 with the attorneys out of the hearing of the jury, either by having a conference at
5 the bench when the jury is present in the courtroom, or by calling a recess. Please
6 understand that while you are waiting, we are working. The purpose of these
7 conferences is not to keep relevant information from you, but to decide how certain
8 evidence is to be treated under the rules of evidence and to avoid confusion and
9 error.
10 Of course, we will do what we can to keep the number and length of these
11 conferences to a minimum. I may not always grant an attorney’s request for a
12 conference. Do not consider my granting or denying a request for a conference as
13 any indication of my opinion of the case or of what your verdict should be.

2 OUTLINE OF TRIAL
3 Trials proceed in the following way: First, the parties may make an opening
4 statement. An opening statement is not evidence. It is simply an outline to help
5 you understand what that party expects the evidence will show. A party is not
6 required to make an opening statement.
7 Apple and the CMs will then present evidence, and counsel for Qualcomm
8 may cross-examine. Then Qualcomm may present evidence, and counsel for
9 Apple and the CMs may cross-examine. Finally, the parties may present rebuttal
10 evidence and the other parties may cross-examine any rebuttal witnesses.
11 After the evidence has been presented, I will instruct you on the law that
12 applies to the case and the attorneys will make closing arguments.
13 After that, you will go to the jury room to deliberate on your verdict.

2 DEPOSITION IN LIEU OF LIVE TESTIMONY
3 A deposition is the sworn testimony of a witness taken before trial. The
4 witness is placed under oath to tell the truth and lawyers for each party may ask
5 questions. The questions and answers are recorded. Under certain circumstances,
6 the deposition of that person may be used at the trial.
7 Insofar as possible, you should consider deposition testimony, presented to
8 you in court in lieu of live testimony, in the same way as if the witness had been
9 present to testify.

6 you may know the [insert] language, it is important that all jurors consider the
7 same evidence. Therefore, you must accept the interpreter’s translation of the
8 witness’s testimony. You must disregard any different meaning.
9 You must not make any assumptions about a witness or a party based solely
10 on the use of an interpreter to assist that witness or party.

6 submitted under established court procedures. You should consider the answers,

2 DUTY OF JURY
3 Members of the Jury: Now that you have heard all of the evidence it is my
4 duty to instruct you on the law that applies to this case.
5 Each of you has received a copy of these instructions that you may take with
6 you to the jury room to consult during your deliberations.
7 It is your duty to find the facts from all the evidence in the case. To those
8 facts you will apply the law as I give it to you. You must follow the law as I give
9 it to you whether you agree with it or not. And you must not be influenced by any
10 personal likes or dislikes, opinions, prejudices, or sympathy. That means that you
11 must decide the case solely on the evidence before you. You will recall that you
12 took an oath to do so.
13 You must follow all of these instructions and not single out some and ignore
14 others; they are all important.
15 Please do not read into these instructions or anything that I may say or do or
16 have said or done that I have an opinion regarding the evidence or what your
17 verdict should be.

2 BURDEN OF PROOF – PREPONDERANCE OF THE EVIDENCE
3 When a party has the burden of proving any claim or affirmative defense by
4 a preponderance of the evidence, it means you must be persuaded by the evidence
5 that the claim or affirmative defense is more probably true than not true.
6 You should base your decision on all of the evidence, regardless of which
7 party presented it.

2 BURDEN OF PROOF – CLEAR AND CONVINCING EVIDENCE
3 When a party has the burden of proving any claim or defense by clear and
4 convincing evidence, it means that the party must present evidence that leaves you
5 with a firm belief or conviction that it is highly probable that the factual
6 contentions of the claim or defense are true. This is a higher standard of proof than
7 proof by a preponderance of the evidence, but it does not require proof beyond a
8 reasonable doubt.

2 WHAT IS EVIDENCE
3 The evidence you are to consider in deciding what the facts are consists of:
4 1. the sworn testimony of any witness;
5 2. the exhibits that are admitted into evidence;
6 3. any facts to which the lawyers have agreed; and
7 4. any facts that I have instructed you to accept as proved.

2 WHAT IS NOT EVIDENCE
3 In reaching your verdict, you may consider only the evidence. Certain
4 things are not evidence, and you may not consider them in deciding what the facts
5 are. I will list them for you:
6 1. Arguments and statements by lawyers are not evidence. The lawyers
7 are not witnesses. What they have said in their opening statements,
8 closing arguments and at other times is intended to help you interpret
9 the evidence, but it is not evidence. If the facts as you remember them
10 differ from the way the lawyers have stated them, your memory of
11 them controls.
12 2. Questions and objections by lawyers are not evidence. Attorneys
13 have a duty to their clients to object when they believe a question is
14 improper under the rules of evidence. You should not be influenced
15 by the objection or by the court’s ruling on it.
16 3. Testimony that is excluded or stricken, or that you have been
17 instructed to disregard, is not evidence and must not be considered. In
18 addition some evidence was received only for a limited purpose; when
19 I have instructed you to consider certain evidence only for a limited
20 purpose, you must do so and you may not consider that evidence for
21 any other purpose.
22 4. Anything you may have seen or heard when the court was not in
23 session is not evidence. You are to decide the case solely on the
24 evidence received at the trial.

2 DIRECT AND CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE
3 Evidence may be direct or circumstantial. Direct evidence is direct proof of
4 a fact, such as testimony by a witness about what that witness personally saw or
5 heard or did. Circumstantial evidence is proof of one or more facts from which
6 you could find another fact. You should consider both kinds of evidence. The law
7 makes no distinction between the weight to be given to either direct or
8 circumstantial evidence. It is for you to decide how much weight to give to any
9 evidence.

2 CREDIBILITY OF WITNESSES
3 In deciding the facts in this case, you may have to decide which testimony to
4 believe and which testimony not to believe. You may believe everything a witness
5 says, or part of it, or none of it.
6 In considering the testimony of any witness, you may take into account:
7 1. the opportunity and ability of the witness to see or hear or know the
8 things testified to;
9 2. the witness’s memory;
10 3. the witness’s manner while testifying;
11 4. the witness’s interest in the outcome of the case, if any;
12 5. the witness’s bias or prejudice, if any;
13 6. whether other evidence contradicted the witness’s testimony;
14 7. the reasonableness of the witness’s testimony in light of all the
15 evidence; and
16 8. any other factors that bear on believability.
17 Sometimes a witness may say something that is not consistent with
18 something else he or she said. Sometimes different witnesses will give different
19 versions of what happened. People often forget things or make mistakes in what
20 they remember. Also, two people may see the same event but remember it
21 differently. You may consider these differences, but do not decide that testimony
22 is untrue just because it differs from other testimony.
23 However, if you decide that a witness has deliberately testified untruthfully
24 about something important, you may choose not to believe anything that witness
25 said. On the other hand, if you think the witness testified untruthfully about some
26
27
50
1 things but told the truth about others, you may accept the part you think is true and
2 ignore the rest.
3 The weight of the evidence as to a fact does not necessarily depend on the
4 number of witnesses who testify. What is important is how believable the
5 witnesses were, and how much weight you think their testimony deserves.

2 IMPEACHMENT EVIDENCE - WITNESS
3 The evidence that a witness [e.g., has contradicted his or her prior statement
4 etc.] may be considered, along with all other evidence, in deciding whether or not
5 to believe the witness and how much weight to give to the testimony of the witness
6 and for no other purpose.

2 EXPERT OPINION
3 You have heard testimony from witnesses who testified to opinions and the
4 reasons for their opinions. This opinion testimony is allowed, because of the
5 education or experience of these witnesses.
6 Such opinion testimony should be judged like any other testimony. You
7 may accept it or reject it, and give it as much weight as you think it deserves,
8 considering the witness’s education and experience, the reasons given for the
9 opinion, and all the other evidence in the case.

2 BENCH CONFERENCES AND RECESSES
3 From time to time during the trial, it became necessary for me to talk with
4 the attorneys out of the hearing of the jury, either by having a conference at the
5 bench when the jury was present in the courtroom, or by calling a recess. Please
6 understand that while you were waiting, we were working. The purpose of these
7 conferences is not to keep relevant information from you, but to decide how certain
8 evidence is to be treated under the rules of evidence and to avoid confusion and
9 error.
10 Of course, we have done what we could to keep the number and length of
11 these conferences to a minimum. I did not always grant an attorney’s request for a
12 conference. Do not consider my granting or denying a request for a conference as
13 any indication of my opinion of the case or of what your verdict should be.

2 DUTY TO DELIBERATE
3 Before you begin your deliberations, elect one member of the jury as your
4 presiding juror. The presiding juror will preside over the deliberations and serve as
5 the spokesperson for the jury in court.
6 You shall diligently strive to reach agreement with all of the other jurors if
7 you can do so. Your verdict must be unanimous.
8 Each of you must decide the case for yourself, but you should do so only
9 after you have considered all of the evidence, discussed it fully with the other
10 jurors, and listened to their views.
11 It is important that you attempt to reach a unanimous verdict but, of course,
12 only if each of you can do so after having made your own conscientious decision.
13 Do not be unwilling to change your opinion if the discussion persuades you that
14 you should. But do not come to a decision simply because other jurors think it is
15 right, or change an honest belief about the weight and effect of the evidence simply
16 to reach a verdict.

2 CONSIDERATION OF EVIDENCE—CONDUCT OF THE JURY
3 Because you must base your verdict only on the evidence received in the
4 case and on these instructions, I remind you that you must not be exposed to any
5 other information about the case or to the issues it involves. Except for discussing
6 the case with your fellow jurors during your deliberations:
7 Do not communicate with anyone in any way and do not let anyone else
8 communicate with you in any way about the merits of the case or anything to do
9 with it. This includes discussing the case in person, in writing, by phone or
10 electronic means, via email, via text messaging, or any internet chat room, blog,
11 website or application, including but not limited to Facebook, YouTube, Twitter,
12 Instagram, LinkedIn, Snapchat, or any other forms of social media. This applies to
13 communicating with your family members, your employer, the media or press, and
14 the people involved in the trial. If you are asked or approached in any way about
15 your jury service or anything about this case, you must respond that you have been
16 ordered not to discuss the matter and to report the contact to the court.
17 Do not read, watch, or listen to any news or media accounts or commentary
18 about the case or anything to do with it; do not do any research, such as consulting
19 dictionaries, searching the Internet, or using other reference materials; and do not
20 make any investigation or in any other way try to learn about the case on your own.
21 Do not visit or view any place discussed in this case, and do not use Internet
22 programs or other devices to search for or view any place discussed during the
23 trial. Also, do not do any research about this case, the law, or the people
24 involved—including the parties, the witnesses or the lawyers—until you have been
25 excused as jurors. If you happen to read or hear anything touching on this case in
26 the media, turn away and report it to me as soon as possible.
27
50
1 These rules protect each party’s right to have this case decided only on
2 evidence that has been presented here in court. Witnesses here in court take an
3 oath to tell the truth, and the accuracy of their testimony is tested through the trial
4 process. If you do any research or investigation outside the courtroom, or gain any
5 information through improper communications, then your verdict may be
6 influenced by inaccurate, incomplete or misleading information that has not been
7 tested by the trial process. Each of the parties is entitled to a fair trial by an
8 impartial jury, and if you decide the case based on information not presented in
9 court, you will have denied the parties a fair trial. Remember, you have taken an
10 oath to follow the rules, and it is very important that you follow these rules.
11 A juror who violates these restrictions jeopardizes the fairness of these
12 proceedings, and a mistrial could result that would require the entire trial process
13 to start over. If any juror is exposed to any outside information, please notify the
14 court immediately.

2 COMMUNICATION WITH THE COURT
3 If it becomes necessary during your deliberations to communicate with me,
4 you may send a note through the clerk, signed by any one or more of you. No
5 member of the jury should ever attempt to communicate with me except by a
6 signed writing. I will not communicate with any member of the jury on anything
7 concerning the case except in writing or here in open court. If you send out a
8 question, I will consult with the lawyers before answering it, which may take some
9 time. You may continue your deliberations while waiting for the answer to any
10 question. Remember that you are not to tell anyone—including me or any Court
11 staff—how the jury stands, whether in terms of vote count or otherwise, until after
12 you have reached a unanimous verdict or have been discharged.

2 RETURN OF VERDICT
3 A verdict form has been prepared for you. The verdict form contains
4 questions for you to answer. Your answer to each question must be unanimous. I
5 am about to instruct you on the law that you are to use in answering these
6 questions, and the verdict form will contain references to the relevant instructions.
7 The verdict form contains directions that you must follow carefully. If, based on
8 your response to an earlier question, the directions tell you to skip a question, then
9 you should not answer that question. You may not be required to answer every
10 question in the verdict form. After you have reached unanimous agreement on a
11 verdict, your presiding juror should complete the verdict form according to your
12 deliberations, sign and date it, and advise the clerk that you are ready to return to
13 the courtroom.
