Case No. 21-cv-08295-SK

Regarding Docket Nos. 123, 140

As the Court discussed at the hearing on May 13, 2024, the Court DENIES both parties’

13

motions to strike the other parties’ experts. In light of the Court extending the schedule for the

14

entire case, the Court will allow both parties time to depose the other parties’ experts, thus

15

alleviating any prejudice from the inadequate disclosures. The parties shall meet and confer and

16

propose a deadline to depose the expert witnesses. In addition, as discussed, the parties shall meet

17

and confer to propose new deadlines for the following:

18

1.

Tutorial

19

2.

Hearing on pending motion for judgment on the pleadings

20

3.

Hearing on pending motion to strike amended infringement contentions at least two

21

weeks after the hearing on the motion for judgment on the pleadings. The parties

22

are advised the Court is tentatively inclined to allow Plaintiff HD Silicon Solutions

23

LLC (“HDSS”) to amend its infringement contentions. The proposed amended

24

schedule should include any changes to the schedule that would be requested if the

25

Court did deny the motion to strike.

26

4.

Schedule for briefing on the claims construction which includes an opportunity for

27

Defendant Microchip Technology Inc. (“Microchip”) to file a revised opening

28

claim construction brief.

1

5.

Hearing on the claims construction.

2

By no later than May 20, 2024, the parties shall meet and confer and shall file their

3

stipulated request, or competing proposals if they cannot agree, regarding the schedule for the

4

above matters. The Court will schedule a case management conference after resolving the claims

5

construction to address whether the remaining case schedule needs to be adjusted as well.
