`
`
`C.A. No. 16-cv-651
`C.A. No. 17-cv-7903
`
`Hon. Judge Rebecca R. Pallmeyer
`
`Plaintiff,
`
`Defendant.
`
`Pursuant to the Court’s Order (Case No. 16-651, D.I. 77), Plaintiff Hospira, Inc. and
`
`Defendant Fresenius Kabi USA, LLC (collectively, “the Parties”), jointly submit the below
`
`proposed case schedule for the above-captioned cases.
`
`Date
`
`Event
`
`Fresenius Kabi’s Stipulation of Infringement (of an agreed set of
`claims) / Hospira’s identification of asserted claims
`
`Written discovery requests1
`
`Fresenius Kabi’s Invalidity Contentions
`
`Hospira’s Infringement Contentions (if infringement stipulation
`not reached)
`
`Fresenius Kabi’s Non-Infringement Contentions (if infringement
`stipulation not reached)
`
`Hospira’s Response to Invalidity Contentions
`
`Close of Fact Discovery
`
`1 Given the substantial discovery already completed in this case, Hospira believes the written
`requests should be limited to two interrogatories and five requests for admission, per side.
`Fresenius Kabi does not agree to a specific limitation of discovery requests but expects that the
`parties can reach agreement on a reasonable limitation. Hospira reserves the right to seek relief
`if Fresenius Kabi’s requests are excessive.
