JURY TRIAL DEMANDED

JOINT MOTION TO

MODIFY CALENDAR DATES

Ford Motor Company (“Ford”) and Versata Software, Inc., f/k/a Trilogy 

Software, Inc., Versata Development Group, Inc. and Trilogy, Inc. (“Versata”) 

jointly seek leave to request the following modifications to the pretrial calendar to 

permit the parties and the Court to address the motions permitted in the Court’s 

August 8, 2019 Order (Dkt. #687). Because the motions permitted in the Court’s 

Order, if granted in whole or in part, are likely to have a material impact on the scope 

of the claims, witnesses and evidence in this case, modifying the pretrial calendar as 

Case 2:15-cv-10628-MFL-EAS ECF No. 688 filed 08/09/19 PageID.52383 Page 1 of 4
