Rule 16(b) Scheduling Order - Pursuant to the Rule 16(b) Conference it is ordered that: Upon consideration of the representations made by the parties in the Amended Proposed Joint Discovery Plan pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(f) ("Joint Discovery Plan") (Dkt. 48) and taking note of the Scheduling Order entered in this case (Dkt. 19) the Court makes the following rulings: 1. All discovery shall be concluded by July 10, 2026. 2. The Joint Discovery Plan filed by the parties is approved, as amended herein, and shall control discovery to the extent of its application unless further modified by the court. 3. All Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(l) disclosures, if not already completed, shall be completed by March 27, 2026. 4. Expert disclosures required by Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(2) shall be made in accordance with the Joint Discovery Plan. Specifically, opening expert reports are due by May 29, 2026. Any rebuttal expert disclosures are due by June 26, 2026. To the extent the parties wish to modify expert deadlines, they must seek leave of court. 5. For purposes of counting depositions, and consistent with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, one Rule 30(b )( 6) deposition notice to an organization counts as one deposition, even if the organization designates multiple witnesses in response to the Rule 30(b)(6) deposition notice. 6. Per the Scheduling Order, a party may not exceed five (5) non-party, non- expert witness depositions and may not serve on any other party more than thirty (30) interrogatories, including parts and subparts, without leave of court. 7. The parties shall limit claim construction briefing to no more than twelve (12) disputed claim terms or term groups total, absent leave of court. For purposes of this limitation, multiple terms with common language that raise the same or substantially similar construction issues shall count as a single term group. The parties shall meet and confer in good faith before exchanging their proposed constructions to narrow the number of disputed terms and present only those terms for which construction is necessary to resolve a material dispute. 8. Nothing in this Order shall be construed to limit the number of asserted prior art references or to adopt either party's position on this issue as set forth in Section 10 of the Joint Discovery Plan. (see Order for complete details). Signed by Magistrate Judge William E. Fitzpatrick on 3/25/26. (tfitz, )
