`
`
`
`The parties request the extension of these dates for the following reasons. With regard to
`
`the Protective Order deadline, the parties have made significant progress on the negotiation of the
`
`Order and have agreed to use this Court’s Protective Order in Wanker v. United States, Case No.
`
`18-1660C- RTH as the template for the parties’ additional discussions. The extension of the
`
`deadline for the service of the preliminary infringement contentions is to accommodate a
`
`scheduling conflict Plaintiffs’ attorneys have in an unrelated matter. The extension of the deadline
`
`for the document production accompanying the infringement contentions is to allow for the
`
`processing of the documents. The extension of the deadline for the service of preliminary
`
`invalidity contentions is to account for the extension granted to Plaintiffs. The extension on the
`
`document production deadline accompanying the invalidity contentions is also to account for the
`
`extension granted to Plaintiffs. These extensions are not sought for purposes of delay.
