The parties shall provide final contentions (i.e., final infringement and invalidity contentions, as well as final non-infringement and validity contentions) around the time that fact discovery closes (i.e., several weeks prior to or after the deadline to complete fact discovery) and at least three weeks before Plaintiff serves its opening claim construction brief. Final contentions shall include a party's contentions under its proposed construction(s), as well as under the opposing construction(s) (if such an alternative contention exists). As such, the parties are encouraged to exchange proposed claim terms and proposed constructions early in the case but in no event later than necessary to allow the parties to include alternative contentions in their final contentions. The joint claim construction chart shall be due one week after the parties have completed their exchange of final contentions, and the joint claim construction brief must be filed at least three weeks before the claim construction hearing. The parties shall leave at least three weeks between the claim construction hearing and the opening of expert discovery. The parties are to use the Court's form scheduling order, which is posted at https://www.ded.uscourts.gov (see Chambers, Judge Noreika, Forms), and the parties must include a proposal for the length and timing of trial. If there are disputes or issues that the Court needs to address in the proposed scheduling order, the parties shall direct the Court to the paragraph numbers in which those appear in a cover letter to the Court.
