ORDER RE PARTIES’ AUGUST 9,
2012 MOTIONS
(Re: Docket Nos. 231, 232, 238)

17
On July 3, 2012, Plaintiff Lantiq Deutschland GMBH (“Lantiq”) and Defendants Ralink
18
Technology Corporation, a California corporation, and Ralink Technology Corporation, a
19
Taiwanese corporation, (collectively, “Ralink”) participated in a court-ordered conference held in
20
San Jose to resolve outstanding discovery disputes. While the parties devoted nearly six hours of
21
time and provided tentative assurances to the court that most of their discovery disputes had been,
22
or likely would be, resolved short of further court intervention, one month later they filed three
23
additional motions on many of the same issues: (1) Lantiq’s motion to preclude ADMtek products
24
from Ralink’s list of accused products; (2) Ralink’s motion to compel scheduling of depositions;
25
and (3) Lantiq’s motion to compel production of MediaTek information. The parties oppose each
26
other’s respective motions. On August 9, 2012, the parties appeared for hearing. Having reviewed
27
the papers and considered the arguments of counsel,
