JOINT MOTION FOR ENTRY OF AMENDED
DISCOVERY AND DOCKET CONTROL ORDERS
Based on the commonality between this case (2:10-cv-364) and the other three related
cases (2:10-cv-365, 2:10-cv-577, and 2:10-cv-578), the parties agree that the schedule for all four
cases should be consolidated through discovery and claim construction and hereby submit their
proposed Amended Discovery and Docket Control Orders.
In particular, the parties propose that for judicial economy, the Court should conduct a
single Markman hearing in early December 2012 for the two related patents-in-suit rather than
separate proceedings for each patent. In addition, while the parties have no disagreement with
the respect to the Amended Discovery Order, the parties submit that the trial dates within the
Amended Docket Control Order may depend on the Court’s ruling regarding Plaintiff Wireless
Recognition Technologies LLC’s Motion to Consolidate Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil
Procedure 42(a) and Local Rule CV-42(b) (Dkt. 94) and/or Defendants’ Cross-Motion to Sever
Pursuant to Rules 20 and 21 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (Dkt. 104). Accordingly,
Plaintiff proposes a single consolidate trial for all four cases while the Defendants propose that
the time already allocated for each of the four cases may be utilized for separate trials, to the
extent necessary. Other than the trial structure, the parties have no disagreements with respect to
the proposed Amended Docket Control Order.
Attached hereto as Exhibit 1 is a copy of the proposed Amended Discovery Order. In
addition, attached for the Court’s consideration are the parties’ proposed Amended Docket
Control Orders. Specifically, attached as “Exhibit 2” is a consolidated version of the proposed
Amended Docket Control Oder, wherein the Defendants’ trial proposal is highlighted in yellow
and the Plaintiff’s trial proposal is highlighted in blue. The parties have also attached a copy of
the Amended Docket Control Order that contains only the Defendants’ trial proposal as “Exhibit
3” and a copy of the Amended Docket Control Order that contains only the Plaintiff’s trial
proposal as “Exhibit 4.”
