STANDING ORDER REGARDING
NOTICE OF READINESS FOR PATENT CASES
In all patent cases pending before the undersigned, the Parties are directed to jointly file
the Case Readiness Status Report (“CRSR”) in the format attached as Exhibit A: (a) within seven
(7) days after the Defendant (or at least one Defendant among a group of related Defendants sued
together) has responded to the initial pleadings in cases where there are no CRSR Related Cases,
or (b) when there are CRSR Related Cases, within seven (7) days after the last Defendant (or last
Defendant group when at least one Defendant among the group has responded) among the CRSR
Related Cases has responded to the initial pleadings. The CRSR shall be filed in each case and
identify all other CRSR Related Cases. For this Order, cases shall be considered CRSR Related
Cases when they meet both criteria: (1) the cases are filed within thirty (30) days after the first
case is filed, and (2) the cases share at least one common asserted patent.
The Parties shall meet and confer before jointly filing the CRSR. Plaintiff shall have
responsibility filing the CRSR on time. If the Parties have any pre-Markman issues needing
resolution, the Parties shall email the Court a joint submission of the Parties’ positions after filing
the CRSR so the Court can consider whether to hold a hearing to resolve these issues.
The Case Management Conference (“CMC”) shall be deemed to occur fourteen (14) days
after the filing date of the CRSR. If the CRSRs in CRSR Related Cases are not all submitted on
the same date, the CMC shall be deemed to occur fourteen (14) days after the last CRSR in those
CRSR Related Cases is filed. The Court intends to coordinate the CRSR Related Cases on the
same schedule with a single Markman hearing, so the Parties should plan accordingly. In all cases,
the Markman hearing shall be initially scheduled for twenty-three (23) weeks after the CMC and
VERSION 2.3
should be included in the Parties’ proposed Scheduling Order in accordance with the Court’s Order
Governing Proceedings.
If any party believes that the operation of this Order will cause undue prejudice, that party
may contact the Court to seek appropriate relief.
SIGNED this 7th day of March, 2022.
