These Rules ("LPR") apply to all cases filed in or transferred to this District after September 24, 2009 in which a party makes a claim of infringement, non-infringement, invalidity, or unenforceability of a utility patent. The Court may modify the obligations and deadlines of the LPR based on the circumstances of any particular case. If a party files, prior to the Claim Construction Proceedings provided for in LPR Section 5, a motion that raises claim construction issues, the Court may defer the motion until after the Claim Construction Proceedings.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
