`
`
`Plaintiff Philips North America LLC (“Philips”) and Defendants Garmin International,
`Inc. and Garmin Ltd. (collectively “Garmin”) hereby jointly stipulate and respectfully request
`that the Court extend certain deadlines in the Court’s Scheduling Order as set forth in the table
`below. While the parties have been working diligently to complete discovery, the realities of
`client, attorney, and expert witness schedules in a work-from home situation during the COVID-
`19 pandemic have complicated these efforts in ways that neither party would have anticipated
`when they jointly proposed the case schedule back in 2019. The parties did recently request –
`and the Court granted – a brief extension of certain discovery deadlines, but the parties have
`now agreed and stipulated that modest further extensions are in order.
`Each party has several reasons for requesting additional time, but in general terms both
`parties agree that in order to more properly develop the record in discovery, more time is needed
`to (1) coordinate expert witness schedules and complete expert reports, (2) avoid unnecessary
`haste and scheduling complications in completing depositions, and (3) accommodate these
`modest extensions by allowing corresponding additional time for later case deadlines (while
`also avoiding unnecessary deadlines over the December holidays).
`The parties note that in the interests of streamlining and simplifying the case, they
`previously agreed to narrow the dispute by limiting their infringement and invalidity contentions
`to a certain number of asserted claim and prior art references. Those deadlines are included in
`the table below.
`The parties are also of the understanding that, due to the unexpected COVID-19
`pandemic, the original trial date contemplated by the parties and the Court many months ago is
`unlikely to proceed. Given that, the modest extension of time requested by the parties is well
`advised in order to more fully develop the record.
`Below is a table setting forth the parties proposed modifications to the case schedule. A
`Proposed Order has also been filed herewith, and the parties respectfully request that the Court
`grant that order.
