`
`Target Date |
`
`Pursuant to Commission Rule 210.51(a), a target date for completion of the Investigation
`
`in the above-captioned matter must be set. See 19 C.F.R. 210.51(a). Upon a review ofthe
`
`Complaint and the NOI, and taking into account my commitments in other already instituted
`
`investigations, and staffing constraints, I have determinedthat a target date of sixteen-and-a-half
`
`(16.5) months is appropriate. The target date is therefore set for May 22, 2019. Based on this
`
`target date, the final initial determination on violation (“ID”) in this Investigation will be due no
`
`later than January 22, 2019. The proposed Procedural Schedule is set forth in Attachment A
`hereto. Ground Rules for this Investigation ‘ae set forth in AttachmentB.
`
`Procedural Schedule
`
`The Partiesshall file jointly by February 2, 2018 their own proposed procedural
`
`schedule that includes dates for each of the events in the attached proposed Procedural Schedule
`
`(as set forth in Ground Rule 1.13) that have not been identified.
`
`If the Parties wish to deviate from the proposed Procedural Schedule in Attachment A
`
`whenproposing other dates, they should explaintheir rationale for the proposed changesin their
`
`submission. The Parties should have extraordinary reasons for proposing scheduling changes.

`Qualcomm 2011, p.2
`
`

`

`However,certain dates such as the evidentiary hearing dates, the target date and the date for
`
`submission for the initial determination on violation may not be changedatthis time.
`Whenthe Parties submit their proposed dates to fill in those dates left blank, orifthe
`Parties wish to propose different dates for certain scheduled items,it would be helpful for the
`Parties to use the chart in AttachmentA, below,and to add athird column,or, alternatively, to
`
`use color to identify/highlight the new or changed dates the Parties propose.
`Ground Rules and Changes
`
`The conduct ofthis Investigation before me shall be governed by the Commission Rules
`
`and Ground Rules attached hereto as Attachment B. The Parties should pay particular attention
`to the GroundRules governing this Investigation as they may differ from the Ground Rules
`
`issued by mein other investigations. For example, here are some recent changes of which
`
`Parties should be aware:
`(1)
`Exhibits attached to motions or memoranda,in additionto all post-hearing
`exhibits, must contain exhibit descriptions ofthe content in addition to an alpha or numerical
`
`identification.
`
`(2)
`
`All documents submitted as exhibits should be dated. If there are multiple
`
`iterations of the same documents, those multiple iterations should be dated. If, for example,
`screen shots ofwebsites are used, then the dates the screen shots were taken along with the
`
`https://address should be provided.
`
`(3)
`Mootissues (and issues that will not be pursued), such as withdrawnclaimsthat
`will be dropped, contentions that will no longer be advocated, witnesses who will be dropped,
`documents that wil not be usedthat were previously relied upon, etc., should be identified at the
`earliest practicable time via an EDISfiling, with the Party responsible for the change doing the

`

`filing.
`
`(4)
`The parties must jointly create and maintain a single chart of substantive legal
`issues being litigated in the Investigation. The chart shall be jointly filed as a separate docket
`entry simultaneously with the pre-hearing and the post-hearing briefs. The parties’ pre-hearing
`
`andinitial post-hearing briefs will follow the order of the issues set forth in the chart. The .
`leftmost column ofthe chart will list the issues being litigated, includingall infringement and
`
`invaliditytheories and defenses. The parties will create subsequent columnsfor each oftheir
`briefs, grouped by party (i.e., the chart accompanying the post-hearing reply briefs will include
`columns for Complainant(s)’s pre-hearing brief, initial post-hearing brief, and post-hearing reply
`brief, followed by columns for Respondent(s)’s pre-hearingbrief, initial post-hearing brief, and
`post-hearing reply brief). The cells ofthe columnswill contain page numbersofthe particular
`
`sections of the briefs where those issues are addressed. If issues, contentions, arguments, or
`defenses have dropped out from the pre-hearing briefs, that shouldbe noted explicitly in the
`chart accompanyingthe initial post-hearing briefs. That same principle should carry through to
`the outline accompanying the post-hearing reply briefs.
`| (5)
`Initial post-hearing briefs are now limited to issues on which each party bears the
`
`burden of proof.
`(6)
`Post-hearing reply briefs are now limitedto the issues and evidence discussed in
`
`the initial post-hearing brief ofeach opposingparty.
`
`(7)
`
`Parties should notify Chambers of any stipulations to which they have agreed
`
`whenever they occur during this Investigation.
`(8) _ All motions are now limited to 25 pages, andall attachments to motions may not
`
`exceed a total of 100 pages without requesting leave for good cause.

`

`(9)
`
`Unopposed motions and joint motions shall contain a proposed order. On the
`
`same day the motionis filed, a version of the motion including the proposed order in MS Word
`
`for Windowsshall be submitted to the Administrative Law Judge’s Attorney Advisor via e-mail.
`(10)
`A party may file i stipulation to extend the deadline to respond to a subpoena
`
`only once as a matter of course. For any additional extensions, the party must file a motion for
`
`leave and show good cause. The same applies to third-party subpoenas.
`
`(11) With regard to deadlines in general, Parties may notjointly stipulate to extend
`
`deadlines without leave. Parties must file a motion and show good cause.
`
`(12)
`
`Any informal communication with the Administrative Law Judge’s Attorney
`
`Advisors via email or telephoneshall not be referenced in any briefs, documents,or papers filed
`
`on EDIS. Ifa party references such a communication in a documentfiled on EDIS,the party
`will no longer be permitted to informally contactthe Attorney Advisors on any matter. All
`
`correspondence with Chambers will be conducted formally via EDIS.
`
`Discovery
`
`Discovery should proceed expeditiously. Any discovery disputes should be brought to
`‘the Court’s attention as soon as practicable. Because discovery statements are generally vague
`early in the Investigation, they are no longer required. However, the Parties should file on EDIS
`
`by February 2, 2018 a list/notice of any proceedings in the United States Patent and Trademark
`
`Office (“USPTO”), including those before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”), in
`
`addition to the identification and the status of any concurrent federalor state litigation that may
`
`affect the issues in this Investigation.
`
`The Parties should makeintensive goodfaith efforts te commence and respond to
`
`discovery promptly. This includes early and diligent applications for nonparty subpoenas, and

`

`

`quick action to enforce said subpoenasifthird-parties delay. Lack of diligence may affect a
`
`Party’s showing of good cause for motions to enforce discovery, particularly if such motions are
`
`adjacent to the close of fact discovery. The Parties should note that the deadlines in the proposed
`
`Procedural Schedule are considered to be the last day to complete a task.
`Motions/Briefs /Confidentiality
`
`All documents filed on EDIS, including motions, memoranda in support of motions,
`
`oppositions to motions, and responses to motions, must contain at the bottom of each page, the
`
`title of the filed documentand theparty filingit.
`
`Within seven (7) business days of the submission of a motion, a memorandum in support
`ofa motion, an opposition to a motion, and a response to a motion that a party contends contains
`Confidential Business Information (“CBI”), the party should submit a copy to Chambers (ALJ’s
`attorney) identifying the proposed CBI redacted with red brackets.
`
`Patent Priority Dates, Prior Art and Technology
`
`The Parties are expected to identify patent priority dates and prior art, and to solidify their
`positions with respect to claim construction for the asserted patents early in the Investigation.
`
`Claim Construction
`
`The proposed Procedural Schedule in AttachmentA identifies dates by which the Parties
`
`should meet and confer to resolve claim terms, and a date of May 11, 2018 by which
`Parties should submit ajoint claim construction chart. The Parties should submit proposals on or
`
`before May 18, 2018 with their comments as to whether a Markman hearing would be useful in
`
`resolving disputed claims. The Parties’ claim construction Markmanbriefs are also due on May
`
`18, 2018. A proposed timeframe for a Markmanhearingis offered that is almost three months
`
`before the evidentiary hearing, or sometime during the week of June 11-15, 2018 on a day andat
`
`(cid:42)(cid:49)(cid:51)(cid:19)(cid:17)(cid:18)(cid:26)(cid:14)(cid:17)(cid:17)(cid:18)(cid:19)(cid:26)

`
`

`

`a time to be determined. If the Parties would like to change that timeframe, they should provide
`
`a five (5) day date range before andat least a ten (10) day date range after.
`
`Ifa party contends that one or mie disputed claim term(s) is/are indefinite, that party
`
`must provide an explanationof its reasoning in its Initial Claim Construction Brief, due
`
`May 18, 2018. Simply claiming a term is indefinite, or providing norationale or a conclusory
`
`statement without support, will not be sufficient. The failure to provide a rationale may weigh
`
`against that proposal of claim term indefiniteness. Additionally, if a party proposes that one or
`
`more of the disputed claim terms should be construed to haveits/their plain and ordinary
`
`meaning(s), that party must provide a proposed construction for each term so identified.
`
`Absent a showing ofgood cause, the Parties will be bound by their proposed
`
`constructionsfor disputed claim terms on the date thejoint submission ofdisputed claim terms
`
`is due.
`
`Pre-Hearing and Evidentiary Hearing
`
`The evidentiary hearing is scheduled for September 17-21, 2018, if necessary, at a
`
`location to be announcedcloserto the hearing date. The pre-hearing conference and hearing will
`
`commence in the same location on September 17, 2018. The hearing days will start at 9:30 a.m.
`
`andconcludeat 5:30 p.m. each day, barring unforeseen circumstances (severely inclement
`
`weather, etc.). Additionally, at my discretion, I may hold one or more telephone conferences
`
`overa period of ten (10) days or so before the pre-hearing conference in order to resolve Motions
`
`in Limine and High Priority Objections.
`
`Direct testimony will be taken during the evidentiary hearing. Whetherall of the
`
`testimony will be direct will be determined later. Basic background information about a witness
`
`or the issues may be considered as part of an acceptable witness statement.

`

`

`Asthe Investigation proceeds closer to the evidentiary hearing dates, the Parties will be
`asked ifthey need additional days we fewer days for the evidentiary hearing. While the Parties
`
`are encouraged to reduce the numberof evidentiary hearing days as they winnow down issues
`
`and disputes, exigencies do occur. If the Parties need additional days, we may adjust the
`
`schedule, most likely to include days the week before the dates now scheduled,if possible.
`
`Settlement and Mediation
`
`The proposed Procedural Schedule includes a date for one settlement meeting and a one-
`
`day mediation session (none of which will include me)at a time, date, and location of the
`
`Parties’ choosing for the good faith exploration ofsettlement, by persons whohavesignificant or
`
`requisite settlement authority, overthe issues in the case. Unlessthe Parties obtain my
`
`permission, for good cause shown,the settlement meeting should not occur by video-
`
`conferencing or by teleconferencing. The Commission Investigative Staff, designated as a party
`
`to the Investigation (see 82 F.R. at 18311), may bepresent at the settlement meeting to facilitate,
`
`but not mediate, the process without my prior approval. The mediation has been scheduled close
`
`to the evidentiary hearing. The Parties should include dates in their proposed schedule for filing
`
`the joint settlement conference report.
`
`Conclusion
`
`To recapitulate: because these are fast-paced proceedings, the Parties are expected to
`
`exert diligence and file motions earlier than the stated deadline, such as motions to compel
`discovery or to enforce subpoenas, Motions forSummary Determination, and even Motions in
`
`Limine.
