`
`SUPPLEMENTAL JOINT STATUS REPORT
`
`The parties hereby submit this supplemental joint status report to update the Court on two
`
`issues addressed in the Joint Status Report submitted on February 12, 2018 (D.I. 15).
`
`Discovery Limits
`
`In the Joint Status Report (D.I. 15 at 10), the parties stated that they would confer
`
`regarding appropriate discovery limits for this action upon the completion of the parties’
`
`exchanges under the BPCIA in March 2018 and agreed to submit a joint proposal for discovery
`
`limits by March 16, 2018. Having now completed the BPCIA exchanges, the parties have
`
`discussed case narrowing and jointly propose the following limits on discovery:
`
`Requests for Production: No limit.
`
`Interrogatories: Up to 50 interrogatories by each side to any other side.
`
`Requests for Admission: Up to 150 requests for admission by each side to any other side,
`
`exclusive of requests for admission to authenticate documents. The parties will work together to
`
`reach an agreement concerning the authenticity of the parties’ respective documents to reduce
`
`the need for requests for admission to authenticate documents.

`
`
`
`Case 1:17-cv-01672-GMS Document 16 Filed 03/16/18 Page 2 of 4 PageID #: 1849
`
`
`Fact Depositions: Up to 250 hours of depositions for each side for any fact witnesses,
`
`including Rule 30(b)(6) depositions and depositions of third parties. All depositions of current
`
`employees of the parties, inventors, and Rule 30(b)(6) witnesses of the parties will occur in the
`
`United States.
`
`These discovery limits are based upon the parties’ current understanding of the scope of
`
`the case. The parties agree to confer in good faith regarding these discovery limits should the
`
`scope of the case change in the future.
`
`Amended Complaint
`
`
`
`In the Joint Status Report (D.I. 15 at 10), the parties proposed a March 16, 2018 deadline
`
`by which Genentech was to file an amended complaint reflecting any case narrowing upon the
`
`completion of exchanges under the BPCIA. The parties are currently discussing Genentech’s
`
`proposed amended complaint and a potential stipulation to dismiss certain patents from the case.
`
`The parties jointly agree to extend the proposed deadline for Genentech to file an amended
`
`complaint to March 23, 2018.
