`
`whether any of the approximately four dozen patents granted since the case was stayed
`
`are infringed by” Defendants HTC Corporation and HTC America, Inc. (“Defendants”).
`
`(6/20/24 SR at 3.) The parties also represent that “CyWee further contends that a new
`
`scheduling order should be entered requiring CyWee to file a motion to amend the
`
`complaint on or before August 15, 2024.” (Id.) Defendants oppose any “attempts to
`
`bring new patents or new claims in this case” and insist that “any such patents or claims
`
`should be litigated in a separate action.” (Id.)
`
`The court GRANTS CyWee’s request and ORDERS that CyWee shall file its
`
`motion to amend its complaint, if any, on or before August 15, 2024. The motion shall
`
`be noted as a 21-day motion in accordance with Local Rules W.D. Wash. LCR 7(d)(3).
`
`The court takes no position at this time regarding whether CyWee may bring new patents
`
`or new claims in this case; rather, the parties are DIRECTED to address this issue in their
`
`briefing on the motion to amend.
`
`Filed and entered this 20th day of June, 2024.
