`
`Defendants reserve the right to move to add an inequitable conduct claim for good cause after

`this deadline.
`
`3.
`
`Application to Court for Protective Order. Should counsel find it will be
`
`necessary to apply to the Court for a protective order specifying terms and conditions for the
`
`disclosure of confidential information, counsel should confer and attempt to reach an agreement
`
`on a proposed form of order and submit it to the Court within twenty-one (21) days from the date
`
`of this Order. Should counsel be unable to reach an agreement on a proposed form of order,
`
`counsel must follow the provisions of Paragraph 8(g) below.
`
`Any proposed protective order must include the following paragraph:
`
`Other Proceedings. By entering this order and
`limiting the disclosure of information in this case,
`the Court does not intend to preclude another court
`from finding that information may be relevant and
`subject to disclosure in another case. Any person or
`party subject to this order who becomes subject to a
`motion to disclose another party's information
`designated "confidential" or "highly confidential -
`attorney's eyes only" pursuant to this order shall
`promptly notify that party of the motion so that the
`party may have an opportunity to appear and be
`heard on whether that information should be
`disclosed.
`
`4.
`
`Papers Filed Under Seal. In accordance with section G of the Administrative
`
`Procedures Governing Filing and Service by Electronic Means, a redacted version of any sealed
`
`document shall be filed electronically within seven (7) days of the filing of the sealed document.
`
`Should any party intend to request to seal or redact all or any portion of a transcript of a
`
`court proceeding (including a teleconference), such party should expressly note that intent at the
`
`2
`
`

`

`Case 1:17-cv-00386-VAC-CJB Document 20 Filed 09/18/17 Page 3 of 15 PageID #: 203
`
`start of the court proceeding. Should the party subsequently choose to make a request for sealing
`
`or redaction, it must, promptly after the completion of the transcript, file with the Court a motion
`
`for sealing/redaction, and include as attachments (1) a copy of the complete transcript
`
`highlighted so the Court can easily identify and read the text proposed to be sealed/redacted, and
`
`(2) a copy of the proposed redacted/sealed transcript. With their request, the party seeking
`
`redactions must demonstrate why there is good cause for the redactions and why disclosure of
`
`the redacted material would work a clearly defined and serious injury to the party seeking
`
`redaction.
`
`5.
`
`Courtesy Copies. Other than with respect to "discovery matters," which are
`
`governed by paragraph 8(g), and the final pretrial order, which is governed by paragraph 20, the

`
`time beyond seven hours with the inventor as necessary. Plaintiffs
`
`do not agree.

`director, or managing agent) of a party filing a civil action in this
`
`district court must ordinarily be required, upon request, to submit

`
`parties shall advise of the dates and times of their experts'
`
`availability for deposition.
`
`II.
`
`Expert Report Supplementation. The parties agree they will permit

`
`which there is not jury selection, jury instruction, or deliberations), there will be 5 112 to 6 112
`
`hours of trial time, and in a typical bench trial day there will be 6 to 7 hours of trial time;
`
`b.
`
`their position as to whether the Court should allow objections to efforts to
`
`impeach a witness with prior testimony, including objections based on lack of completeness
`
`and/or lack of inconsistency;
`
`c.
`
`their position as to whether the Court should rule at trial on objections to
`
`expert testimony as beyond the scope of prior expert disclosures, taking time from the parties'
`
`trial presentation to argue and decide such objections, or defer ruling on all such objections
`
`unless renewed in writing following trial, subject to the proviso that a party prevailing on such a
`
`post-trial objection will be entitled to have all of its costs associated with a new trial paid for by
`
`the party that elicited the improper expert testimony at the earlier trial; and
`
`d.
`
`their position as to how to make motions for judgment as a matter of law,

`
`three (3) pages of argument, and the side making the in limine request may add a maximum of
`
`one (1) additional page in reply in support of its request. If more than one party is supporting or
`
`opposing an in limine request, such support or opposition shall be combined in a single three (3)
`
`page submission (and, if the moving party, a single one (1) page reply), unless otherwise ordered
