`
`SCHEDULING ORDER
`
`On December 6, 2019, the Court conducted a conference in the above entitled and numbered
`
`case. All parties appeared through counsel. As a result of such hearing, and pursuant to Rule 16,
`
`Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Court ORDERS that the following schedule will govern
`
`deadlines up to and including the trial of this matter:
`
`Deadline
`
`Item
`
`Tuesday, November 26,
`2019
`
`Plaintiff serves preliminary infringement contentions1 in the
`form of a chart setting forth where in the accused product(s)
`each element of the asserted claim(s) are found. Plaintiff shall
`also identify the earliest priority date (i.e. the earliest date of in-
`vention) for each asserted claim and produce: (1) all documents
`evidencing conception and reduction to practice for each
`claimed invention, and (2) a copy of the file history for each pa-
`tent in suit.
`
`1 The parties may amend preliminary infringement contentions and preliminary infringement in-
`validity contentions without leave of court so long as counsel certifies that it undertook reason-
`able efforts to prepare its preliminary contentions and the amendment is based on material
`identified after those preliminary contentions were served and should do so reasonably upon
`identifying any such material. Any amendment to add claims requires leave of court so that the
`Court can address any scheduling issues.
