MEDIATEK, INC,

 v.

MATSUSHITA ELECTRIC INDUSTRIAL

CO., LTD., et al.

Counterclaim Defendants /

No. 05-3148 MMC 

ORDER DENYING WITHOUT

PREJUDICE DEFENDANTS’ REQUEST

TO ALLOW SUPPLEMENTATION OF

EXPERT REPORTS AND DEPOSITIONS,

FOR LEAVE TO FILE ADDITIONAL

SUMMARY JUDGMENT MOTION, AND

TO CONTINUE TRIAL

The Court is in receipt of defendants’ letter, filed May 11, 2007, by which defendants

request an order allowing both parties to supplement expert reports and depositions, to

allow defendants to file a 10-page summary judgment motion on the issue of obviousness,

and to continue the trial for two months. Plaintiff has filed a letter opposing such request.

The Court, for the reasons stated by plaintiff, finds defendants’ letter request is

procedurally improper. Moreover, the showing made is not sufficiently detailed as to the

Case 3:05-cv-03148-MMC Document 1093 Filed 05/17/07 Page 1 of 2

need to reopen expert discovery in light of the less rigid test set forth in KSR Int’l Co v.

Teleflex Inc., 127 S. Ct. 1727 (2007), nor is it sufficiently detailed as to the nature and

extent of, and time required for, any anticipated additional discovery. Further, the request

is not supported by any declaration(s).

Accordingly, defendants’ letter request is hereby DENIED without prejudice to

defendants’ filing a motion.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
