ORDER CONTINUING MOTION
HEARING AND SETTING CASE
MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

GOOGLE INC.,
Defendant.
/

14
15

Due to a congested law-and-motion calendar and an ongoing patent trial, the motion

16

hearing previously set for October 13 is CONTINUED to a special setting at 9:30 A.M. ON

17

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 2011. A case management conference will be held concurrently.

18

Counsel should be prepared to address the following issues:

19

1.

How much time the Rule 706 expert will require to

20

complete his work. In particular, a time estimate for completing an

21

independent damages study as opposed to only critiquing the

22

studies provided by the parties’ damages experts.

23

2.

The possibility of severing the copyright claim from

24

the patent claims and first conducting a shorter trial on the

25

copyright claim.

26

3.

The possibility of general postponement and how

27

best to use any intervening time, for example with respect to

28

motion practice.

1

For the benefit of counsel, please be alerted there is a strong possibility that the final

2

pretrial conference set for October 24 will have to be postponed. The Court will try to provide

3

counsel with more scheduling information at the October 19 hearing and conference.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
