`
`(“Demaray”) thereafter sought venue discovery from Defendants through both interrogatories

`
`
`
`
`Case 6:20-cv-00636-ADA Document 85 Filed 03/26/21 Page 2 of 4
`
`
`
`and deposition notices. On December 12, 2020, Plaintiff also served subpoenas on non-party,
`
`Applied Materials, Inc. (“Applied”), the supplier of the equipment used by Defendants that is
`
`accused of infringement in these cases.
`
`Plaintiff completed its venue discovery after concluding the deposition of Applied on
`
`February 9, 2021 and filed responsive briefs to the motions to transfer on February 23, 2021.
`
`Defendants also sought venue discovery from Demaray, which was the subject of two discovery
`
`hearings, the first on March 4, 2021 and the second on March 17, 2021. After the Court ordered
`
`a second deposition of Demaray to answer questions its corporate representative was instructed
`
`not to answer, Defendants completed the deposition and venue discovery on March 23, 2021.
`
`The parties agree the deadline for Defendants to file their reply briefs to the motions to transfer is
`
`March 30, 2021. Contemporaneously with the filing of this status report, Defendants are filing
`
`Requests for Oral hearing on their motions to transfer pursuant to Local Rule CV-7(h).
