UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

QURIO HOLDINGS, INC.,

Plaintiff,

v.

DISH NETWORK CORPORATION, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-00930-HSG 

ORDER RE DISCOVERY DISPUTE 

AND CASE SCHEDULE

Re: Dkt. No. 82

A case management conference was held on June 4, 2015. The Court directed the parties 

to meet and confer in a good faith attempt to resolve their scheduling and discovery disputes. On 

June 12, 2015, the parties filed a revised proposed schedule, on which they fully agree. Dkt. No. 

81. Also on June 12, 2015, the parties filed a joint discovery letter brief addressing the proposed 

two-stage reduction of asserted claims and corresponding prior art combinations and references, 

which is the only outstanding discovery dispute. Dkt. No. 82.

Having reviewed the parties’ joint discovery letter brief and considered the arguments 

therein, the Court within its discretion finds it appropriate to limit the number of asserted claims 

and prior art as follows:

 Initial Reduction. By October 14, 2015, Plaintiff Qurio Holdings, Inc. will elect up 

to 30 claims from the patents-in-suit, with no per-patent limitation on the number 

of claims that may be elected. By October 28, 2015, Defendant DISH Network 

LLC will narrow its asserted prior art to no more than 30 combinations and no 

more than 42 references total. 

The Court will determine the specific parameters of the second reduction of asserted 

claims and prior art following the issuance of a claim construction order in this case.
