`2.
`
`Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7-12 and the Court’s Scheduling Order (Dkt. 63), the parties
`hereby agree to the terms of the following proposed discovery order and respectfully request that the
`Court enter the proposed order.
`
`
`Upon the stipulation of the parties, the Court ORDERS as follows:
`Protective Orders. The Court will enter the parties’ Agreed Protective Order.
`Discovery Limitations. The discovery in this case is limited to:
`(a) Interrogatories: Each party may serve up to 25 interrogatories to the other party.
`(b) Requests for Admission: Each party may serve up to 40 requests for admission to
`the other party. There is no limit on the number of requests for admission directed
`to the authentication of documents and things and/or whether a document
`qualifies as a printed publication under 35 U.S.C. § 102.
`(c) Depositions of Parties, Third Parties, and Experts:
`a. Each party may take up to 30 total hours of deposition testimony
`(inclusive of both 30(b)(1) and 30(b)(6) depositions) of the other party.
`Depositions of experts and third parties do not count against these limits.
`The parties agree that witnesses will be deposed at a location convenient
`for the witness (ordinarily the place of residence or employment), except
`that the parties will meet and confer and work together in good faith on the
`location of depositions should any party wish to conduct a deposition at an
`alternative location.
`b. All individual depositions shall be limited to seven hours in accordance
`with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
`c. To the extent a Rule 30(b)(1) witness is designated as the corporate
`representative for one or more Rule 30(b)(6) topics, the witness shall be
`deposed in both capacities in a single deposition of seven hours (or, in the
`case of the named inventors, 10 hours total).

`
`d. Depositions on written questions of custodians of business records for
`third parties shall not count against any of the deposition limits herein.
`e. Each party is each limited to 4 testifying expert witnesses.
`(d) Third Parties: Each party may take up to 30 hours of non-party deposition
`testimony. The parties agree to meet and confer in good faith in the event that a
`party seeks a reasonable enlargement of the agreed-upon hours of non-party
`deposition testimony based upon case developments after the date of this Order.
`(e) Any party may later move to modify these limitations for good cause or by
`agreement.
`Proposed Stipulations by the Parties Regarding Discovery. The parties stipulate to the
`following:
`(a) The parties agree that they will serve each other with copies of any subpoena or
`deposition notice directed to a third-party. A party receiving documents from a third
`party will provide copies of those documents to each other party within 5 business
`days of receiving those documents. The parties agree to consult with each other
`before scheduling any third-party deposition and to provide at least 5 business days’
`notice of the selected court reporting agency to allow for the coordination of remote
`depositions, including the logistics of soft copy exhibits.
`(b) The parties agree that, unless good cause is shown, the parties shall not be required to
`log any privileged documents created on or after June 21, 2017.
`(c) The parties agree to accept service by email to all counsel of record for the party to be
`served.
`(d) Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d), inadvertent production of materials
`covered by the attorney-client privilege or work-product protection is not a waiver in
`a pending case or any other federal or state proceeding. For example, the mere
`production of privilege or work-product protected documents in this case as part of a
`mass production is not itself a waiver in this case or any other federal or state
`proceeding. A producing party may assert privilege or protection over inadvertently
