Date Filed Document Text
October 7, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 438 ORDER that Synopsys's Rule 54 fee motion, (ECF No. #427 ), presents a contested issue that it did not previously address with the Court-whether it is indeed entitled to attorneys' fees pursuant to either the Reseller Agreement or the Defend Trade Secrets Act and Virginia Uniform Trade Secrets Act. Because Synopsys's asserted right to fees will require additional briefing and resources, the Court will defer ruling on Synopsys's motion for attorneys' fees and costs. After due consideration, the Court DENIES Synopsys's motion for attorneys' fees and costs, (ECF No. #427 ), without prejudice and with leave to renew within twenty-one (21) days of the Fourth Circuit's mandate to this Court. Accordingly, the Court dismisses RBS's motion to stay this Court's consideration of Synopsys's motion for attorney's fees, (ECF No. #430 ), as MOOT. It is so ORDERED.

November 19, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 128 ORDER that the Court held a hearing on the motions on Thursday, November 18, 2021. Upon due consideration and for the reasons stated from the bench, the Court ORDERS as follows: 1) The Court GRANTS RBS's motion to dismiss Count III, (ECF No. #48 ). The Court will issue an accompanying opinion. 2) The Court GRANTS RBS's motion for reconsideration of the Court's Order on the motion to stay and DENIES the motion to stay, (ECF No. #68 ). 3) The Court DENIES RBS's motion for judgment on the pleadings, (ECF No. #71 ). The Court will issue an accompanying opinion. 4) The Court GRANTS Synopsys's motion for clarification of the amended pretrial order, (ECF No. #76 ), and FINDS that RBS has the burden of proof on all remaining claims. 5) The Court DENIES Synopsys's motion to compel, (ECF No. #78 ), and Synopsys's motion for a protective order, (ECF No. #79 ). The Court GRANTS Synopsys leave to refile the motion to compel. The Court ORDERS the parties to proceed with discovery and to begin depositions. The Court ORDERS that Synopsys will take the first deposition, and DIRECTS the parties to alternate depositions thereafter. 6) The Court GRANTS Synopsys's November 2, 2021 motion for leave to file a sur-reply to RBS's motions for reconsideration and judgment on the pleadings, (ECF No. #94 ), and DIRECTS the Clerk to docket Synopsys's sur-reply, (ECF No. 94-1). 7) The Court may appoint one of the following attorneys to serve as special master for discovery. The Court DIRECTS each party to file a notice on or before Tuesday, November 23, 2021, indicating its objection or consent to the appointment of a special master. If the parties reach a consensus on these issues, they may file a joint notice on or before Tuesday, November 23, 2021. RBS filed a motion for sanctions and to modify the scheduling order. (ECF No. #116 ). Because the Court finds that the appointment of a special master, the Court's ruling on Synopsys's motion for a protective order, the Court's order for the parties to proceed with discovery, and the extension or pretrial deadlines sufficiently addresses RBS's motion, the Court DENIES the motion as MOOT.
