`Case 1:19-cv-11586-IT Document 126 Filed 12/03/20 Page 2 of 4
`
`
`
`Plaintiff Philips North America LLC (“Philips”) and Defendant Fitbit, Inc. (“Fitbit”)
`
`respectfully jointly move the Court to extend certain deadlines set forth in the Scheduling Order,
`
`(Dkt Nos. 115 and 116), as proposed in the table below. The realities of attorney, client, and expert
`
`witness schedules in a work-from home situation during the COVID-19 pandemic continue to
`
`complicate efforts to comply with the existing schedule. The proposed revised schedule addresses
`
`some of those complications, and provides the parties with the ability to potentially craft their
`
`completion of discovery with the further expected guidance of the Court’s rulings on the pending
`
`Motion to Dismiss and Claim Construction order.
`
`For good cause shown, the parties request the Court amend the Scheduling Order as
`
`follows:
