`
`Deadline

`
`Item
`Plaintiff serves preliminary1 infringement contentions in
`the form of a chart setting forth where in the accused
`product(s) each element of the asserted claim(s) are

`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.
