`NOTICE OF READINESS FOR PATENT CASES
`
`In all patent cases pending before the undersigned, the Parties are directed to jointly file
`
`the Case Readiness Status Report (“CRSR”) in the format attached as Exhibit A: (a) within seven
`
`(7) days after the defendant (or at least one defendant among a group of related defendants sued
`
`together) has responded to the initial pleadings in cases where there are no CRSR Related Cases
`
`as defined below1, or (b) when there are CRSR Related Cases, within seven (7) days after the last
`
`defendant (or last defendant group when at least one defendant among the group has responded)
`
`among the CRSR Related Cases has responded to the initial pleadings. The CRSR shall be filed
`
`in each case and, with regard to CRSR Related Cases, it shall identify all other CRSR Related
`
`Cases.
`
`The Parties are directed to meet and confer before jointly filling the CRSR. Plaintiff shall
`
`be responsible for ensuring the prompt filing of the CRSR. Plaintiff shall also email the Court
`
`(TXWDml_LawClerks_JudgeAlbright@txwd.uscourts.gov) a courtesy copy of the CRSR and
`
`shall also copy the Defendant(s). If the parties have any pre-Markman issues in need of
`
`resolution, the parties are directed to email the Court a joint submission of the parties’ positions
`
`after filing the CRSR so the Court can consider whether to hold a telephonic hearing to resolve
`
`these issues.
`
`Once the CRSR has been filed, the Case Management Conference (“CMC”) shall be
`
`deemed to occur fourteen (14) days after the filing date of the CRSR. With regard to CRSR
`
`1 For purposes of this Order, cases shall be considered CRSR Related Cases when: (1) they are filed
`within thirty (30) days after the first case is filed, and (2) they share at least one common asserted patent.

`
`Related Cases, if the CRSRs are not all submitted on the same date, the CMC shall be deemed to
`
`occur fourteen (14) days after the last CRSR in those CRSR Related Cases is filed. The Court
`
`intends to coordinate the CRSR Related Cases on the same schedule with a single Markman
`
`hearing, so the parties should plan accordingly. In all cases, the Markman hearing shall be initially
`
`scheduled for twenty-three (23) weeks after the CMC and should be included in the parties’
`
`proposed Scheduling Order in accordance with the Court’s Order Governing Proceedings.
`
`This Order shall apply to all cases where the CRSR has not already been filed as of the date
`
`of this Order. In any case where the parties have submitted their CRSR before the date of this
`
`Order but have not received an order setting their CMC, the CMC for that case (or cases) will be
`
`deemed to occur fourteen (14) days after the date of this Order. To the extent that the CRSR in a
`
`case (or related cases) is overdue pursuant to this Order, the parties are directed to file the CRSR
`
`within seven (7) days after the date of this Order. If after entry of this Order there are any cases
`
`awaiting a CMC where the CMC will not be set by operation of this Order, the parties should
`
`contact the Court for guidance.
`
`If any party believes that the operation of this Order will cause undue prejudice, that party
`
`may contact the Court to seek appropriate relief.
`
`SIGNED this 16th day of June, 2021.
