ORDER FOLLOWING HEARING ON

DEFENDANT’S EX PARTE

APPLICATION

On April 15, 2008, the Court held a hearing on shortened time on Defendant’s Ex Parte

Application to Extend Discovery Cutoff. In the briefing on this matter, Defendant clarified that it

did not seek to have discovery reopened; rather, it sought further responses to discovery requests

that had already been served before the discovery cutoff. Interpreted as a motion to compel, its

motion was timely. Accordingly, the Court construes Defendant’s Ex Parte Application as a Motion

to Compel, which is granted in part as stated at the hearing as follows:

1. Defendant may propound up to five interrogatories regarding the 2005 article entitled A

Microarray Configuration to Quantify Expression Levels and Relative Abundance of Splice

Variants. See Def.’s Ex Parte App. at Ex. 8. 

2. No later than two weeks from the date of this order, whether or not Plaintiff has obtained

permission from its licensees as it anticipates, Plaintiff shall produce the licensing

agreements for the patent-in-suit to Defendant subject to the protective order. If Plaintiff

receives permission sooner than the two-week deadline, it shall produce the agreements at
