`
`
`
`Lead and local counsel for Plaintiff Alacritech, Inc. (“Alacritech”) and Defendant Dell,
`
`Inc. (“Dell”) met and conferred telephonically regarding the issues raised in Alacritech’s Motion
`
`to Compel (Dkt. 125) and its Motion to Strike Defendants’1 [November 10] Invalidity
`
`Contentions (Dkt. 124) on Tuesday, February 28, 2017 and have since continued to
`
`cooperatively resolve their disputes. The following summarizes the status of the issues presented
`
`in Dkt. 124 and Dkt. 125 and the related briefing:
`
`Category
`
`Status
`
`Alacritech’s Motion to Strike Defendants’
`Invalidity Contentions (Dkt. 124)
`
`Category 1. Identification of accused
`products and services.
`
`Category 2. Technical documents and
`source code.
`
`Resolved. Dell has confirmed that it will not
`assert defenses based on §§ 102 or 103 based on
`uncharted art without leave of the Court or
`agreement of the parties. Alacritech withdraws
`its motion without prejudice.
`
`Resolved in part. The parties have resolved
`their dispute with respect to identification of
`relevant products. There remains a dispute
`regarding identification of relevant services.
`
`Resolved in part. The parties have resolved
`their dispute with respect to source code based
`on Dell’s representation that it does not have
`relevant source code within its possession,
`custody, or control. The parties’ dispute
`regarding the sufficiency of Dell’s production of
`documents relating to the salient technical
`features of its products remains, but the parties
`will continue conferring in hopes of resolving
`the dispute in advance of the hearing on April
`11.
`
`Category 3. Evidence and contentions re:
`differences material to infringement
`
`Disputed.
`
`Category 4. Evidence and contentions re:
`Dell’s non-infringement defenses.
`
`Disputed.
`
`
`
`1 Dell, as well as the CenturyLink and Wistron defendants.

`
`Status
`
`Category 5. Evidence and contentions re:
`Dell’s affirmative defenses.
`
`Resolved in part. Dell has confirmed that it has
`produced the universe of evidence within its
`possession, custody, or control relating to its
`asserted prior-art-based invalidity defenses and
`provided its contentions relating to such art in
`Defendants P.R. 3-3 disclosure (Invalidity
`Contentions). Based thereon, the only remaining
`dispute(s) relate to the sufficiency of Dell’s
`production and interrogatory response regarding
`its non-art-based invalidity and other defenses.
`
`Category 6. Remedies-related evidence
`(e.g., financial information and non-
`infringing alternatives)
`
`Disputed.
`
`The parties continue to meet and confer to try to resolve their outstanding disputes.
