`ORDER
`
`No. 2:17-CV -00140-RWS-RSP
`
`In this patent case, the Court now considers Defendants’ Motion to Strike Plaintiff
`
`CyWee Group Ltd.’s Untimely Infringement Charts [Dkt. # 41]. Defendants allege Plaintiff
`
`is attempting to add additional Samsung products to its infringement contentions by way
`
`of new claim charts served two months after its initial contentions were due. CyWee, how-
`
`ever, has since moved for leave to amend its contentions. See Pl.’s Mot. for Leave to
`
`Amend Its Infringement Contentions [Dkt. # 44].1
`
`Because the Court has not entered a claim construction ruling in this case, CyWee
`
`can only amend its infringement contentions by leave of Court, which requires a showing
`
`of good cause. P.R. 3-6(b). CyWee, however, had not moved for leave when Defendants
`
`1 CyWee filed its motion for leave to amend two days after responding to the present mo-
`tion.

`
`moved to strike. Therefore, the additional claim charts had no operative effect at the time
`
`Defendants filed their motion, and have no operative effect on this case unless and until
`
`the Court grants leave to amend.
`
`Put another way,
`
`the present motion
`
`is unnecessary. Accordingly,
`
`the
`
`Court DENIES Defendants’ Motion [Dkt. # 41], and will consider CyWee’s motion
`
`for leave separately.
