b) Does 28 U.S.C. § 1292(c)(2) confer jurisdiction on this Court to entertain appeals from patent infringement liability determinations when willfulness issues are outstanding and remain undecided?

(3) An original' and thirty copies of the new en banc briefs shall be filed, and two copies of each en banc brief shall be served on opposing counsel. Plaintiff-Appellant’s en banc brief is due 40 days from the date of this order. Defendant-Cross-Appellant’s en banc response brief is due within 40 days of service of Plaintiff-Appellant’s new en banc brief, and Plaintiff-Appellant’s reply brief is due within 14 days of service of Defendant-Cross-Appellant’s response brief. Principal briefs shall not exceed 7,000 words, and the reply brief shall not exceed 3,500 words.
