DEADLINE FOR EXCHANGING P.R. 4-2 DISCLOSURES OF PRELIMINARY CLAIM

Pursuant to P.R. 4-1(b), Defendants Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and Samsung

identified additional terms for disclosure under P.R. 4-1. Relatedly, Samsung requested a brief 

extension to November 12, 2024, for the P.R. 4-2 disclosures. The parties met and conferred by 

email regarding additional disclosures under P.R. 4-1 and extending the P.R. 4-2 deadline by four 

days. Plaintiff agreed and does not oppose the relief sought herein. The extension requested herein 

will not impact any other deadlines in this case.
