Thanks Wolf for keeping us up to date on Acer/Gateway/HTC/Barco. Looks like it could be another long wait. Corrections welcome.
Claims construction requested by both Plaintiffs and Defendants for January 2012
The Parties agree that this case is not suitable for expedited handling.
The case will be tried to a jury. Plaintiffs expect the duration of the trial will depend on numerous factors, including the dispositions of the pending and anticipated summary judgment
motions that cannot be determined at this stage of the proceedings
P. STATUS OF DISCOVERY
The parties have conducted claim construction discovery already and are engaged in fact discovery. Defendants have also initiated discovery with a number of third-party suppliers, including some foreign-based third-parties. Given the complexity of the issues in this case, additional document and deposition discovery will be needed after the issuance of the claim construction order in this case. The parties have previously agreed to close fact discovery six
months after the final invalidity contentions are due, which must be served 50 days after the issuance of the claim construction order. See, e.g., Dkt. 288 (in Acer action).
