N.D. Ill. LPR 2.0
Patent Initial Disclosures
Comment
LPR 2.2 – 2.5 supplements the initial disclosures required by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(a)(1). As stated in the comment to LPR 1.6, the purpose of these provisions is to require the parties to identify the likely issues in the case, to enable them to focus and narrow their discovery requests. To accomplish this purpose, the parties' disclosures must be meaningful – as opposed to boilerplate - and nonevasive. These provisions should be construed accordingly when applied to particular cases.
