`1.
`
`Disclosure of the identities of expert witnesses under Rule 26(a)(2)(A), the
`full disclosures required by Rule 26(a)(2)(B) (including the written report
`prepared and signed by each expert witness), and the full disclosures
`required by Rule 26(a)(2)(C), shall be made as follows:
`
`a.
`
`b.
`
`c.
`
`Identification of experts who may be used at trial to present
`evidence under Fed. R. Evid. 702, 703, or 705 on issues for
`which the party bears the burden of proof, and full disclosures

`
`Identification of experts who may be used at trial to present
`evidence under Fed. R. Evid. 702, 703, or 705 on issues for
`which the party does not bear the burden of proof, and full
`disclosures required by Rule 26(a)(2)(B) and 26(a)(2)(C) on

`Expert discovery, including depositions, shall be completed by October 8,
`2021 November 12, 2021.
`
`Absent leave of Court for good cause shown, and notwithstanding any
`deadlines and provision for amendments in the sections relating to
`infringement contentions claims charts and prior art statements, the
`foregoing deadlines for expert discovery shall govern regardless of whether
`the Court has issued its claim construction order. If no claim construction
`order has issued by the time of an applicable deadline for expert disclosure,
`a party’s expert disclosures must set forth any opinions on infringement and
`/or invalidity based on either party’s proposed claim constructions as to
`which opinions the party may ultimately seek to elicit testimony at trial.
`
`If the claim construction order is issued before or during the expert
`discovery schedule set out above, the parties will promptly meet and confer
`and then seek a telephone conference with the Court regarding whether the
`deadlines for expert discovery should be further amended.
