UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SIMON AND SIMON, PC, et al.,

Case No. 20-cv-03754-VC

Plaintiffs,
ORDER DENYING MOTION TO
PRECLUDE

v.

Re: Dkt. No. 191

ALIGN TECHNOLOGY, INC.,
Defendant.

The motion to preclude Align’s argument that it terminated interoperability to protect its
patent interests is denied. In the unlikely event that questions relating to the legitimacy of the
positions Align took regarding its patents cannot be adjudicated without reference to privileged
materials, the issue can be revisited at that time.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
