`
`1.
`
`Consolidation. C.A. No. 20-1009-MSG shall be consolidated with C.A. No. 20-
`
`00968-MSG (“the Consolidated Action”) for all purposes, and all papers shall be filed in the
`
`Consolidated Action.
`
`2.
`
`Rule 26(a)(l) Initial Disclosures and E-Discovery Default Standard. The parties
`
`made their initial disclosures pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(a)(l) on March 15,
`
`2021. If they have not already done so, the parties are to review the Court's Default Standard for
`
`Discovery, Including Discovery of Electronically Stored Information (“ESI”) (which is posted at
`
`http://www.ded.uscourts.gov; see Other Resources, Default Standards for Discovery, and is
`
`incorporated herein by reference). The parties will negotiate in good faith to reach an agreement
`
`regarding electronically stored information ("ESI Agreement"), and the parties shall submit the
`
`proposed ESI Agreement to the Court within forty-five (45) days from the date of this Order.
`
`3.
`
`Joinder of Other Parties and Amendment of Pleadings. All motions to join other
`
`parties, and to amend or supplement the pleadings, shall be filed on or before October 15, 2021.
`
`4.
`
`Application to Court for Protective Order. The Court entered a Protective Order
`
`on May 24, 2021 (D.I. 41).
`
`5.
`
`Papers Filed Under Seal. In accordance with section G of the Administrative
`
`Procedures Governing Filing and Service by Electronic Means, a redacted version of any sealed
`
`document shall be filed electronically within seven (7) days of the filing of the sealed document.
`
`Should any party intend to request to seal or redact all or any portion of a transcript of a
`
`court proceeding (including a teleconference), such party should expressly note that intent at the
`
`start of the court proceeding. Should the party subsequently choose to make a request for sealing
`
`or redaction, it must, promptly after the completion of the transcript, file with the Court a motion
`
`for sealing/redaction, and include as attachments (1) a copy of the complete transcript

`
`highlighted so the Court can easily identify and read the text proposed to be sealed/redacted, and
`
`(2) a copy of the proposed redacted/sealed transcript. With their request, the party seeking
`
`redactions must demonstrate why there is good cause for the redactions and why disclosure of
`
`the redacted material would work a clearly defined and serious injury to the party seeking
`
`redaction.

`
`governed by paragraph 9(h), and the final pretrial order, which is governed by paragraph 20, the

`letter to the Court describing the Parties’ proposal regarding narrowing issues for trial at key
`
`milestones in the case.

`
`twenty-five (25) requests for admission are permitted for the Defendant Groups to collectively
`
`serve on Plaintiffs. In addition, each Defendant Group may serve on Plaintiffs up to 12
`
`individualized requests for admission. Any additional requests for admission may only be served
`
`with leave of Court. Reasonable requests for admission directed to authentications or the
`
`business record nature of documents for purposes of Fed. R. Evid. 803(6) are unlimited.
`
`e. Interrogatories.
`
`i. A maximum of fifteen (15) interrogatories, including contention

`
`The Court encourages the parties to serve and respond to contention
`
`interrogatories early in the case. In the absence of agreement among
`
`the parties, contention interrogatories, if filed, shall first be addressed
`
`by the party with the burden of proof. The adequacy of all
`
`interrogatory answers shall be judged by the level of detail each party
`
`provides; i.e., the more detail a party provides, the more detail a party
`
`shall receive.

`
`i.
`
`Limitation on Hours for Deposition Discovery. Plaintiffs are limited to
`
`55 hours of taking fact deposition testimony upon oral examination per
`
`Defendant Group, including testimony of former Defendant Group
`
`employees, any Fed. R. Civ. P. 30(b)(6) witnesses, and third-party
`
`witnesses.3 The Defendant Groups collectively are limited to 100
`
`hours of taking fact deposition testimony upon oral examination,
`
`including testimony of former employees of Plaintiffs, any
`
`Fed. R. Civ. P. 30(b)(6) witnesses, and third-party witnesses. Any
`
`deposition lasting less than 5 hours will count as 5 hours against the
`
`total time of the side taking the deposition. These hour limits on fact
`
`depositions may be increased by agreement of the parties or by Court
`
`order upon good cause shown. If a deponent testifies wholly or
`
`substantially through an interpreter, the party taking the deposition
`
`shall be permitted, on a pro rata basis, 1.5 hours of deposition time for
`
`each hour spent testifying through the interpreter. The provisions of
`
`Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 30(d)(l) shall apply. For clarity, a 10.5
`
`hour deposition where a deponent testifies wholly or substantially
`
`through an interpreter shall nonetheless count as 7 hours against the
`
`total time of the side taking the deposition. These hour limits on fact
`
`depositions may be increased by agreement of the parties or by Court
`
`order upon good cause shown. For clarity, the hour limitations
`
`3 To the extent the same individual is deposed by more than one Defendant Group, there shall be
`a single deposition.

`
`depositions shall take place within the United States. The limitations

`
`burden on the party seeking modification.

`
`Group, or any expert who has provided opinions on both infringement
