`(MEMBER CASE)
`
`
`JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
`
`
`
`JOINT MOTION FOR SUBSTITUTION OF TECHNICAL EXPERT WITNESSES
`
`Pursuant to the parties’ November 6, 2020 Joint Motion for Entry of Consolidated Docket
`
`Control Order (D.I. 218), each Party has one technical expert who has an unavoidable conflict with
`
`the April 5, 2020 jury selection date. Hillman’s conflicted expert is Joseph Rakow. KeyMe’s
`
`conflicted expert is Robert Sturges. Accordingly, the parties have met and conferred and have
`
`jointly agreed that each party may seek leave of Court to substitute its conflicted expert for a new
`
`expert with no effect on the discovery and trial dates in this case.
`
`Each new expert will adopt the expert reports and deposition testimony of the prior
`
`conflicted expert (as applicable) regarding the three initial patents-in-suit in this action, U.S. Patent
`
`Nos. 8,979,446; 9,914,179; and 10,400,474. The new experts will submit new expert reports and
`
`be newly deposed on the remaining three patents-in-suit, which were originally asserted in member
`
`case 2:20-cv-0070: U.S. Patent Nos. 10,577,830; 10,628,813; and 10,737,336.
`
`Hillman respectfully requests that it be allowed to substitute its conflicted expert Joseph
`
`Rakow with new expert Richard Klopp. KeyMe respectfully requests that it be allowed to
`
`substitute its conflicted expert Robert Sturges with new expert David Doermann. The parties have
`
`no disputes over this joint motion and request that it be granted.
