On February 8, 2012, Plaintiff Apple, Inc. (“Apple”) filed a complaint for patent

infringement and a motion for preliminary injunction seeking to enjoin Defendants Samsung
22
Electronics Co., Ltd.; Samsung Electronics America, Inc.; and Samsung Telecommunications
23
America, LLC (collectively “Defendants”), from making, using, offering to sell, or selling within
24
the United States, or importing into the United States, Samsung’s recently released Galaxy Nexus
25
smartphone. See ECF Nos. 1 (Compl.), 10 (Mot. for Prelim. Inj.). Apple seeks preliminary relief
26
on grounds that the Galaxy Nexus smartphone infringes four of Apple’s utility patents.

Pursuant to Civil Local Rules 65-2 and 7-3, Defendants’ opposition would be due today,
28

potential need for discovery, the Court sets the briefing schedule for Apple’s preliminary injunction
2
motion as follows: Defendants’ opposition brief is due April 23, 2012; and Apple’s reply brief is
3
due May 14, 2012. The hearing on Apple’s motion is set for June 7, 2012, at 1:30 p.m.

The parties may obtain discovery relevant to the preliminary injunction motion. To ensure
5
adequate discovery in a timely manner, the Court reduces the time to respond to discovery requests
6
from 30 days after being served to 21 days. See, e.g., Fed. R. Civ. P. 33(b)(2), 34(b)(2)(A),
7
36(a)(3). The Court encourages the parties to make all efforts to keep discovery requests
8
reasonable in scope and narrowly tailored to address the preliminary injunction motion. If disputes
9
arise, the parties must make a good faith effort to reach a mutually agreeable compromise, and lead
