`on it.
`
`This -- this issue has been left long enough. We
`need to get to the answer on this. But I -- I am persuaded
`that targeted jurisdictional discovery in the form I've
`indicated would be proper and appropriate here and might
`shed some light on what both sides admit is a rather
`complicated business.
`All right. I want to next take up the Defendant's
`motion to limit the number of asserted claims.
`I understand you met and conferred on this but
`were not able to resolve it. I know from the briefing that
`the Plaintiff is at this point asserting over 100 claims.
`I know what the schedule of the case is and where we are
`with regard to when claim construction will be upcoming.
`What I'm going to do here -- I really don't need
`to hear argument on this. I'm going to order the claims
`reduced pursuant to the model order. And the initial date
`in the model order is triggered by a date that's already
`passed in this case, so I'm going to modify that. But I'm
`going to enter the model order, and I'm going to require
`the claims to be narrowed.
`There is absolutely no way that the Plaintiff can
`go to trial on a hundred claims or more than a hundred
`claims, and that requires a substantial expenditure of
`resources by the Defendant that is going to be wasted

`
`effectively, and this case is old enough and it's advanced
`enough to where we should not be left with in excess of a
`hundred live claims still in the case.
`So I'm going to enter the model order, and you all
`are going to narrow the claims.
`You didn't do it before the motion was filed. You
`didn't do it mediating -- or meeting and conferring, I
`should say, with each other for most of the morning today.
`I'm not persuaded you're going to be able to do it. I
`would have preferred you do it. I'm now convinced you
`can't or won't do it, and so I'm going to do it for you by
`way of the model order. And you should look for a slightly
`modified version of that to be entered by the Court
`hereafter.
`You've withdrawn the motion to compel. Those
`appear to be the three matters that are -- were set for
`hearing today.
`Is either side aware of anything that was properly
`set that the Court's not heard from you on or otherwise
`taken up?
`Are you aware of anything else, Mr. Ray?
`MR. RAY: No, I'm not, Your Honor.
`THE COURT: Ms. Auth, are you aware of anything
`
`else?
`
`MS. AUTH: No, Your Honor.
