Case 6:20-cv-00665-ADA Document 88 Filed 07/19/21 Page 1 of 4
`
`IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
`FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS
`WACO DIVISION
`
`KOSS CORPORATION,
`
`Case No. 6:20-cv-00665-ADA
`
`Plaintiff,
`
`JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
`
` v.
`
`APPLE INC.,
`
`Defendant.
`
`JOINT MOTION TO AMEND AGREED SCHEDULING ORDER
`
`Koss Corporation (“Koss”) and Apple Inc. (“Apple”) jointly move to modify the Amended
`
`Scheduling Order (Dkt. No. 85) pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b)(4). There is good cause for the
`
`Court to exercise its discretion under Rule 16 to allow for such modification.
`
`The parties are in the process of fact discovery and are working diligently to comply with
`
`the deadline for Final Infringement and Invalidity Contentions. To date, and as relevant to the
`
`foregoing, Koss has served technical 30(b)(6) deposition topics as well as document requests
`
`seeking technical documentation and source code, and is working with Apple to schedule the
`
`appropriate depositions and obtain the requested documentation. Apple has served eight third-
`
`party subpoenas relating to prior art and is working with the subpoenaed parties to identify
`
`responsive documents and deposition dates. As there is sufficient time in the schedule to extend
`
`the July 16th date by approximately one month, to August 13th, without impacting any other dates
`
`in the calendar, and as the July date is a service deadline not a filing deadline, such that there is no
`
`impact on the Court’s ability to manage its schedule, the parties jointly move to enter the amended
`
`schedule attached hereto as Exhibit A.
