`
`
`CIVIL ACTION NO. 2:19-CV-00209-JRG
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`THE HILLMAN GROUP, INC.,
`
`
`
`v.
`
`KEYME, LLC,
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Plaintiff,
`
`Defendant.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Before the Court is Plaintiff The Hillman Group, Inc. (“Hillman”) and Defendant KeyMe,
`
`LLC’s (“KeyMe”) (collectively, the “Parties”) Joint Motion to Amend Joint Claim Construction
`
`& Prehearing Statement and KeyMe’s Motion for Leave to Add a Claim Term for Dispute (the
`
`“Motion”). (Dkt. No. 135.) In the same, the Parties move jointly to amend the Patent Local Rule
`
`4-3 Joint Claim Construction & Prehearing Statement (Dkt. No. 116) (the “Joint Statement”) to
`
`reflect the results of the Parties’ efforts to reduce the number of claim construction disputes before
`
`this Court. Also, in the Motion, KeyMe moves for leave to propose an additional claim term—“a
`
`key duplicating system within said kiosk configured to replicate the tooth pattern of the blade of
`
`said key inserted in said key-receiving entry.” Hillman opposes the addition of this additional claim
`
`term. Having reviewed the Motion and both sides arguments, the Court finds that there is sufficient
`
`good cause therein to warrant the addition of the claim term—“a key duplicating system within
`
`said kiosk configured to replicate the tooth pattern of the blade of said key inserted in said key-
`
`receiving entry.” Thus, the Court is of the opinion that the Motion in its entirety should be and
`
`hereby is GRANTED.
`
`
`
`Case 2:19-cv-00209-JRG Document 137 Filed 05/05/20 Page 2 of 2 PageID #: 3822
`
`
`
`Accordingly, the Parties are hereby granted leave to amend their Joint Statement. Further,
`
`KeyMe is granted leave to propose the additional claim term—“a key duplicating system within
`
`said kiosk configured to replicate the tooth pattern of the blade of said key inserted in said key-
`
`receiving entry.” The Parties shall work together to ensure that Hillman is given adequate time to
`
`propose its construction; however, the Court does not plan to continue or reschedule the Markman
`
`briefing schedule. It is further ORDERED that the Parties are to refile a new revised Joint
`
`Statement to reflect the new term and the Parties’ proposed constructions for the same by or before
`
`ten (10) days from the date of the entry of this Order.
