The parties in these related actions request clarification on their obligations to comply

17

with Patent Local Rule 4-5. The parties are advised that, although no Markman hearing will be

18

held and claim construction will occur at summary judgment or at trial, the goal of Patent Local

19

Rules to encourage early disclosure and briefing of the parties’ claim construction arguments is

20

unaffected. Thus, all claim construction briefing deadlines set by the Patent Local Rules remain

21

in place.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
