ORDER REGARDING PLAINTIFF’S FEBRUARY 28, 2018 LETTER [Doc. 167]
On February 28, 2018, counsel for Choon’s Design sent the Court a letter
concerning Defendant’s supplemental invalidity contentions. Defendant responded to
the letter on March 2, 2018. The Court held a telephone conference on March 7
regarding the supplemental contentions. Attending were Theodore Olds, John Siragusa
and Brian Tobin for Choon’s, and Robert Bugg for Defendant.
Based on the discussion held, the Court ORDERS:
1.

The parties must disclose supplemental expert testimony and reports as

scheduled in the Second Amended Scheduling Order dated October 3, 2017;
2.

The parties must meet and confer before March 19, 2018 to narrow the

number of references relied upon by Defendant in its supplemental invalidity
contentions; and
3.

On or before March 19, 2018, the parties must file a joint report indicating

whether further Court involvement regarding Choon’s objections to Defendant’s
supplemental invalidity contentions is necessary. If Court involvement is necessary, the
joint report must describe the results of the meet and confer, summarize all unresolved

issues, and state each party’s proposal for resolving the issues. Unless the joint report
indicates it is unnecessary, the Court will hold a phone conference to resolve
outstanding issues on March 20, 2018 at 3:30pm.
