Local Rule LPR 1-12: AMENDMENT TO DISCLOSURES

LPR 1-12. AMENDMENT TO DISCLOSURES Amendment of any disclosure required under these rules may be made only by order of the court upon a timely showing of good cause. Non-exhaustive examples of circumstances that may, absent undue prejudice to the non-moving party, support a finding of good cause include:

(a) A claim construction ruling by the court that is different from that proposed by the party seeking amendment;

(b) Recent discovery of material, prior art despite earlier diligent search; and

(c) Recent discovery of nonpublic information about the Accused Instrumentality which was not discovered, despite diligent efforts, before the service of the Infringement Contentions.

The duty to supplement discovery responses does not excuse the need to obtain leave of court to amend contentions.
