`SOUTHERN DIVISION
`
`
`Case No. 2:22-MD-03034-TGB
`HON. TERRENCE G. BERG
`
`
`IN RE: NEO WIRELESS, LLC,
`PATENT LITIGATION
`
`
`
`
`
`
`STIPULATION AND ORDER REGARDING THE
`NUMBER OF ASSERTED CLAIMS AND PRIOR ART REFERENCES
`The Court’s December 9, 2022 Order instructed Neo to reduce the number of
`
`
`
`asserted patent claims to eighteen (18) two weeks after entry of the Court’s Markman
`
`Order. (ECF No. 102, PageID.8172.) The Order also instructed Defendants to
`
`reduce their total asserted prior art references and/or products to an average of four
`
`(4) per patent, for a total of not more than twenty-four (24), two weeks after Plaintiff
`
`reduces the number of asserted claims to 18.
`
`
`
`At the time of the Court’s December 9, 2022 Order , Neo asserted six (6)
`
`patents. Today, Neo asserts four (4) patents. In view of Neo’s reduction of the
`
`number of asserted patents, the parties hereby stipulate and agree that, at this stage
`
`of the litigation, Neo may assert 18 claims and defendants may assert 18 prior art
`
`references.
`
`
`
`SO ORDERED.
