February 24, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 14 ENDORSED ORDER: Counsel are directed to meet and confer, in person or by telephone, and by March 10, 2020, file a completed patent Case Management Report. This document can be found on Judge Covington's page of the Court's website at www.flmd.uscourts.gov. Please be advised that the Court's patent Case Management Report form is different from those used by other judges. Local Rule 3.05(c)(2)(E), M.D. Fla., explains that most track two cases, like the present case, "will be tried within one year after the filing of the complaint." To accomplish this goal, the Court believes that six to eight months is a sufficient period of time to conduct discovery. If the parties believe that more time than eight months will be needed to complete discovery, the parties should provide the Court with a detailed explanation as to why additional time is needed and a timeline for the discovery that is planned. The Court will then determine whether a Case Management Hearing is necessary before entry of a patent Case Management and Scheduling Order. Signed by Judge Virginia M. Hernandez Covington on 2/24/2020. (DMD)
