ORDER RE: DISCOVERY DISPUTE

v.
NICHIA CORP.; NICHIA AMERICA CORP.,
Defendants.

/

14

On August 18, 2013, the parties filed a joint discovery letter brief. See Docket No. 334. Their

15

dispute concerned whether Bluestone’s infringement contentions were in compliance with Patent Local

16

Rule 3-1. They disputed whether Bluestone could rely upon representative claim charts, and whether

17

the infringement contentions were sufficiently specific. After further efforts, the parties have now

18

resolved these disputes, and on August 19, 2013, they filed a stipulation and proposed order for

19

Bluestone to serve amended infringement contentions upon Nichia. See Docket No. 335.

20

The only disputed issue that remains is the due date of Nichia’s invalidity contentions. Patent

21

Local Rule 3-3 requires the service of invalidity contentions no later than 45 days after the service of

22

infringement contentions. Accordingly, Nichia’s invalidity contentions shall be due 45 days from

23

service of Bluestone’s supplemental infringement contentions.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
