`
`JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
`
`
`
`SCHEDULING ORDER
`
`Plaintiff PacSec3, LLC and Defendant Cisco Systems, Inc. hereby provide the following
`
`Proposed Case Schedule. Having considered the parties’ papers, the Court finds that the Proposed
`
`Case Schedule below should be GRANTED:
`
`Deadline
`
`7/19/21
`
`Item
`
`Plaintiff serves preliminary infringement contentions in the
`form of a chart setting forth where in the accused product(s)
`each element of the asserted claim(s) are found. Plaintiff shall
`also identify the earliest priority date (i.e. the earliest date of
`invention) for each asserted claim and produce: (1) all
`documents evidencing conception and reduction to practice
`for each claimed invention, and (2) a copy of the file history
`for each patent in suit.
`
`[1] The parties may amend preliminary infringement
`contentions and preliminary invalidity contentions without
`leave of court so long as counsel certifies that it undertook
`reasonable efforts to prepare its preliminary contentions and
`the amendment is based on material identified after those
`preliminary contentions were served, and should do so
`seasonably upon identifying any such material. Any
`amendment to add patent claims requires leave of court so
`that the Court can address any scheduling issues.
