ORDER
In light of the number of defendants in these cases, the Court sets a status conference on
April 26, 2011 at 9:00 a.m. By April 25, 2011 at 9:00 a.m., Plaintiffs shall submit, for in camera
review, a table summarizing the licenses or settlements reached in the instant or prior cases involving
the patents-in-suit. For each license or settlement, the summary shall: 1) include the date of the
license or settlement; 2) case name, number, and status of the case (if applicable); 3) patent numbers;
4) the parties to the agreement; 5) settlement or license amounts; and 6) Plaintiffs’ assessment of
2

possible damages for the parties involved if the case had proceeded to trial.
At the status conference, the parties should be prepared to discuss, among other things,
Plaintiffs’ litigation and settlement strategy, the possibility of staged trials, phased by issue, e.g.
validity with infringement to follow, or by defendant(s). The parties will be expected to present the
Court with viable and good faith suggestions regarding the efficient and economical streamlining
of discovery for these cases. The Court will also address the claim construction process and
encourage the parties to narrow the disputed claim terms to ensure an efficient and orderly Markman
hearing. Lead and local counsel are expected to attend.
So ORDERED and SIGNED this 20th day of April, 2011.
