Modification of Obligations

W.D. Tenn. Local Rule 1.5

The Court may modify the obligations or deadlines set forth in these Local Patent Rules based on the circumstances of any particular case, including, without limitation, the simplicity or complexity of the case as shown by the patents, claims, products, or parties involved. Such modifications shall, in most cases, be made at the Patent Scheduling Conference but may be made at other times by the Court sua sponte or upon a showing of good cause.
