`
`
`
`Plaintiff Philips North America LLC (“Philips”) and Defendant Fitbit, Inc. (“Fitbit”)
`
`respectfully jointly move the Court to extend certain deadlines set forth in the Scheduling Order,
`
`(Dkt. 54), as proposed in the table below. The realities of attorney, and expert witness schedules
`
`in a work-from home situation during the COVID-19 pandemic have complicated efforts to
`
`comply with the existing schedule. The proposed revised schedule addresses some of those
`
`complications, and provides the parties with the ability to craft their completion of discovery with
`
`the expected guidance of the Court’s rulings on the pending Motion to Dismiss, and Claim
`
`Construction order.
`
`For good cause shown, the parties request the Court amend the Scheduling Order as
`
`follows:
`
`Event
`
`Fact Discovery.
