`Case 1:18-cv-01363-CFC Document 102 Filed 04/15/19 Page 2 of 6 PageID #: 13842
`
`work together to reach an agreement concerning the authenticity of the parties' respective
`
`documents to reduce the need for requests for admission to authenticate documents.
`
`2. Interrogatories.
`
`A maximum of 25 interrogatories, including contention interrogatories, are permitted for
`
`Plaintiffs to each Defendant and for each Defendant to Plaintiffs, with no restrictions on use.
`
`3. Depositions.
`
`a.

`Limitation on Hours for Deposition Discovery.
`
`Defendants are collectively limited to taking testimony by deposition upon oral
`
`examination up to a total of 150 hours for fact witnesses, including 30(b)(6) deponents.
`
`Additionally, each Defendant may individually take testimony by deposition upon oral
`
`examination up to a total of 50 hours for fact witnesses, including 30(b )( 6) deponents. 2 From
`
`each Defendant, Plaintiffs may take up to a total of 105 hours of testimony by deposition upon
`
`oral examination of fact witnesses, including 30(b )( 6) deponents. If any additional patents are
`
`asserted against a Defendant, then Plaintiffs and that Defendant will each receive an additional
`
`10 hours of deposition time per newly asserted patent.
`
`Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, depositions shall be limited to one day of seven
`
`hours, except that:
`
`i.
`
`depositions of named inventors on the patents-in-suit may be extended up
`
`to a total of 10 hours, provided that the inventors are noticed in more than
`
`2 If prior to May 13, 2019, a single Defendant remains in the case, then that Defendant and
`Plaintiffs will meet and confer in good faith to determine how many hours of testimony the
`Defendant may take in view of the depositions that remain to be taken and the remaining allotted
`individual hours. If, after May 13, 2019, a single Defendant remains in the case, that Defendant
`may rely on any deposition testimony obtained by either Defendant.
