UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

LENOVO (UNITED STATES) INC., et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

IPCOM GMBH & CO., KG,

Defendant.

Case No. 19-cv-01389-EJD (VKD)

ORDER RE SUBMISSION OF 

DISCOVERY DISPUTES

The parties advise that they have at least six disputes concerning eight categories of 

documents that plaintiffs seek from defendant. Dkt. No. 89. They propose submitting a single 

joint discovery letter brief addressing the remaining disputes, organized by dispute. They agree 

they need more than the 1,500 words each permitted in the undersigned’s Standing Order for Civil 

Cases to explain their disputes to the Court, but cannot agree on how many more words would be 

sufficient.

The parties may organize their submission however they wish. If the disputes are related 

and narrower than the parties’ original discovery dispute submission (Dkt. No. 75), the Court is 

skeptical that the parties truly need to exceed the 1,500-word limit for their respective statements 

of their positions. However, to accommodate the parties, and with a view toward expediting the 

completion of jurisdictional discovery, the Court will permit each side 3,000 words for their 

statements of their positions. The Court encourages the parties to include all remaining issues

concerning plaintiffs’ jurisdictional discovery of defendant in their next discovery dispute 

submission, but only after they have seriously conferred in an effort to reach agreement without 

the Court’s assistance.
