Question Presented (OCR Extract)
QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Whether a trial court must provide a definition for a term of operative significance when it is requested by a deliberating jury? 2. Whether the Court of Appeals properly relied on its own precedent to determine that the district court correctly declined to define the term “capitalization,” and answer whether capitalization can include intellectual property, when requested by the jury, even when the Court of Appeals itself acknowledged that the better practice would be to define all operative terms for the jury? 1
