issues — liability and damages — the Rules do not require a party to wait to file a Rule 50 or Rule 59 until after _ the entry of such a “judgment.” Rule 50 states that a movant “may renew its request for judgment as a matter of law by filing a motion no later than 10 days after entry of judgment.” Fed. R. Civ. Pro. 50(b). Rule 59 states that “any motion for a new trial shall be filed no later than 10 days after entry of the judgment.” Fed. R. Civ. Pro. 59(b). These rules do not, by their terms, preclude the filing of post-trial motions before “judgment” has been filed; they merely require that once “judgment” has been filed, a party has only 10 days to file the motions. The caselaw supports this interpretation of Rules 50 and 59. See Jurgens v. McKasy, 905 F.2d 382, 386 (Fed.Cir.1990) (<HOLDING>); O. Hommel Co. v. Ferro Corp., 659 F.2d 340
