November 17, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 138 REPLY by Plaintiffs Evolve BioSystems, Inc., Regents of the University of California to motion to compel, #113 (REPLY IN SUPPORT OF MOTION TO COMPEL PRODUCTION OF PATENT LIST) (Chivvis, Matthew)
November 16, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 137 ORDER : Plaintiffs Evolve Biosystems, Inc. ("Evolve") and the Regents of the University of California ("the University") have sued Defendant Abbott Laboratories ("Abbott") under 35 U.S.C. 271(a)(c) for inducement, contributory infringement, and direct infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,197,872 ("'872 patent") and 9,200,091 ("'091 patent"). Abbott has moved to dismiss the complaint. For the reasons provided below, the motion #32 is denied. Signed by the Honorable John Z. Lee on 11/16/20. [For further details see order].Mailed notice(ca, )

November 13, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 135 MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Z. Lee: The Court has reviewed the joint status report and Plaintiffs' motion for miscellaneous relief #132 , and the motion is stricken as moot. The Court prefers that Defendant's motion to strike Plaintiffs' final infringement contentions be briefed separately from Plaintiffs' motion to strike Defendant's final invalidity contentions. The Court will issue rulings on both motions simultaneously. Plaintiffs' response to Defendant's motion to strike Plaintiffs' final infringement contentions #117 is due December 21, 2020. Defendant's reply is due January 25, 2021. Plaintiffs' motion to strike Defendant's final invalidity contentions is due December 21, 2020. No notice of motion shall be filed. Defendant's response to Plaintiffs' motion to strike Defendant's final invalidity contentions is due January 25, 2021. Plaintiffs' reply in support of their motion is due February 19, 2021. All briefs listed in these briefing schedules are limited to 13 pages. The parties are instructed to continue working together to reach stipulations regarding contentions, discovery, and briefing schedules whenever possible in order to avoid unnecessarily involving the limited judicial resources of the Court. If the parties envision that amended motions to strike will be filed after claim construction has concluded, then the parties should consider holding off on motion practice regarding final infringement contentions and final invalidity contentions until that time. Mailed notice (ca, )
