IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS

SHERMAN DIVISION

OPTIMUM IMAGING TECHNOLOGIES

LLC,

 Plaintiff,

v.

SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.,

Defendant.

Civil Action No. 4:23-CV-00927-ALM

JOINT MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE JOINT REPORT

Defendants Sony Corporation, Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., Nikon Corporation and 

FUJIFILM Corporation (collectively, the “Defendants”) and Optimum Imaging Technologies, 

LLC (“OIT”) (collectively, “The Parties”) bring this joint motion to extend the deadline to file the

Joint Report from September 5, 2024 to September 10, 2024. The Parties submit that good cause 

exists for requesting this extension, given that the Parties are in agreement on many issues and 

would benefit from submitting the Joint Report at the same time as Defendants Olympus 

Corporation (“Olympus”) and OM Digital Solutions (“OMDS”). OIT has filed suit against 

Olympus and OMDS alleging infringement of the same patents as are at issue in the cases filed 

against the Defendants. The Initial Rule 16 Management Conference for the Parties and Olympus 

and OMDS are all set for September 19, 2024. The deadline for the Joint Report in the case 

involving Olympus and OMDS is September 10, 2024. The Parties believe that the requested 

extension will allow the Parties and OMDS and Olympus to submit an aligned joint report with a 

minimum number of outstanding disputes for this Court to resolve.

Case 4:23-cv-00927-ALM Document 35 Filed 09/03/24 Page 1 of 3 PageID #: 133
WHEREFORE, the Parties respectfully request the Court enter an order extending 

the deadline to file the Joint Report from September 5, 2024 to September 10, 2024. 

Dated: September 3, 2024 Respectfully submitted,
