`
`Pursuant to Local Patent Rule (“P.R.”) 4-3 and the Court’s February 8, 2021, Docket
`
`Control Order (Dkt. No. 48), Plaintiff Seagen Inc. (“Seagen”) and Defendant Daiichi Sankyo

`
`’039 patent).
`
`II. P.R. 4-3(a)(2) Disputed Claim Constructions
`
`Pursuant to P.R. 4-3(a)(2), the chart attached as Exhibit A to this Joint Statement contains

`
`
`
`III. P.R. 4-3(a)(3) Length of Claim Construction Hearing
`
`Pursuant to P.R. 4-3(a)(3), the Parties currently request 3 hours total, 1.5 hours per side,
`
`for the claim construction hearing. To the extent the Court’s schedule permits a longer hearing,
`
`Daiichi Sankyo Japan respectfully submits that the complexity of the technology and the number
`
`of issues currently presented could benefit from additional time. Seagen does not believe a
`
`longer hearing is required, and would be satisfied with a 2 hour hearing.
`
`IV. P.R. 4-3(a)(4) Live Witness Testimony at Claim Construction Hearing
`
`The parties do not intend to offer any live witness testimony at the claim construction
`
`hearing, unless the Court requests such testimony.
`
`V. P.R. 4-3(a)(5) Other Issues
`
`None.
