UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA STANDING ORDER IN CIVIL CASES
Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers
(Updated November 13, 2025) 1.
Conformity to Rules. Parties are expected to consult and comply with all provisions of the Local Rules and the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure relating to motions, briefs, continuances, and all other matters, unless specifically superseded by this Standing Order. Any failure to comply with any of the rules and the Court’s Standing Order may be deemed sufficient grounds for monetary sanctions, dismissal, entry of default judgment, or other appropriate sanctions. Parties are advised that this Standing Order is subject to change without notice and that they should check for the latest revisions on the Court’s website at https://cand.uscourts.gov/judges/ygr/gonzalez-rogers-yvonne.
2.
Scheduling days. Prior to noticing a motion, parties shall check the scheduling information on this Court’s website to confirm open and available dates. However, noticed days may be reset as the Court’s calendar requires, with order of call to be determined by the Court. Generally, the Court will schedule as follows: a.
Case Management Conferences are conducted on Mondays at 2:00 p.m. b.
Civil Law and Motion calendar is conducted on Tuesdays at 2:00 p.m. c.
Pretrial conferences are conducted on Fridays at 9:30 a.m. Trials are set to commence on Mondays at 8:00 a.m. d.
Before appearing for a matter before this Court, all parties shall check the Court’s calendar at cand.uscourts.gov to confirm that their matter is still on calendar.
Frequently, the Court will issue a written order and vacate the hearing unless oral argument appears to be necessary. Where argument is allowed, the Court will attempt to advise counsel in advance of the issues to be addressed.
The default rule is that all Case Management Conferences are held via Zoom videoconference and all other proceedings are presumed to be in-person. Parties are advised that the Court may exercise its discretion to deviate from these default rules. Requests to appear by videoconference may be entertained upon a compelling showing of good cause. Any changes to the default settings will be communicated via the case docket, public calendar, and/or email correspondence.
It is the parties’ burden to keep appraised of changes to the Court calendar.
In addition, if a written request for oral argument is filed before issuance of a ruling stating that a lawyer six or fewer years out of law school will conduct all or most of the oral argument, the Court will entertain oral argument on the principle that young lawyers need more opportunities for appearances than they typically receive.

e. If a party intends to use audio-visual demonstratives during a hearing (e.g., PowerPoint presentation), it shall provide a copy to opposing parties and the Court no fewer than 24 hours in advance of the hearing and bring printed copies of the demonstrative(s) to the hearing. If a party requires use of audio-visual equipment in the courtroom, the party shall contact the Courtroom Deputy, Edwin Cuenco, to make an appointment to test that equipment on a date at least one day in advance of the hearing.
3. Changes to Court Calendar. No changes to the Court’s schedule shall be made except by signed order of the Court and only upon a showing of good cause. Parties seeking to continue hearings, request special status conferences, modify briefing schedules, or make any other procedural changes shall submit a signed stipulation and proposed order, or, if a stipulation is not possible, a Motion for Administrative Relief as contemplated by Civil Local Rule 7-11. Continuances will be granted only upon a showing of good cause, particularly focusing on evidence of diligence by the party seeking delay and of prejudice that may result if the continuance is denied. Briefing schedules may not be changed without Court approval. The Court generally will not approve elongated briefing schedules without sufficient explanation.
Parties seeking to enlarge a filing deadline by way of a Motion for Administrative Relief are admonished to file such a motion in advance of the filing deadline, with sufficient time for the Court to respond (not on the day the filing is due or immediately prior). Parties are advised that requests which, in effect, do not allow the Court two weeks from the filing of the last brief until the scheduled hearing date are likely to be denied.
Requests to accommodate remote appearances for compliance deadlines will be summarily denied. All compliance deadlines are decided on the papers unless otherwise stated by the Court.
4. Notice of Hearing Location. Parties shall notice hearings for the Oakland Federal District Courthouse, 1301 Clay Street, Courtroom 1, Fourth Floor. However, the courtroom location is subject to change. Hearings may be held by Zoom videoconference at the Court’s discretion. Parties should check the Court’s website, the case docket, and/or notifications posted at the Courthouse leading up to and on the hearing date.
5.
Chambers Copies. This requirement does not apply to self-represented litigants. Chambers copy of all motions in excess of 15 pages, inclusive of exhibits and attachments, whether electronically filed or manually filed at the Clerk’s Office, shall be submitted to the Clerk’s Office in an envelope clearly marked with the case number and “YGR Chambers Copy” for receipt by no later than 12:00 noon the second business day after the document is filed.
Submission by overnight delivery such as Federal Express or UPS is sufficient.
a.
All chambers’ copies must be 3-hole punched in the left margin in a manner suitable for placement in a 3-ring binder. They shall not be stapled.
b.
Chambers copies must include tabs between exhibits and must fasten or attach pages of individual documents together so as to distinguish between separate documents. Do not use bottom tabs as they do not work well in binders.

c.
Chambers copies in summary judgment motions: Chambers copies of all summary judgment motions and oppositions (including the brief, separate statement, declarations, exhibits, and other supporting documents) are required to be provided by the filing party in a 3-ring binder or binders with tabs separating documents. Submitting chambers copies of the reply documents in a binder is optional. This requirement does not apply to habeas corpus petitions or summary judgment motions in ERISA or Social Security cases.
d.
Chambers copies in administrative motions to seal: As noted in paragraph 11 below, parties shall provide chambers copies of the unredacted documents with proposed redacted material highlighted only. Parties shall not submit chambers copies of the redacted versions of documents they seek to seal.
e.
Chambers copies submitted without meeting the above requirements may be rejected, and the party may be required to re-submit.
f.
In motions involving voluminous citations to evidence or records, parties are encouraged to submit chambers copies of their briefing in an electronic format with hyperlinks to the evidence, on flash drives or other removable media. Parties may request to submit such electronic copies in lieu of paper chambers copies.
6.
Case Management Conference. Joint case management statements are required and must be filed seven days in advance of the initial case management conference date.
Updated joint case management statements are required and must be filed seven days in advance of all other case management conferences. In cases involving litigants unrepresented by counsel, the parties may file separate case management statements.
The format shall follow the Standing Order for All Judges of the Northern District of California re: Contents of Joint Case Management Statement (“CAND CMC Order”) found on the Court’s website at cand.uscourts.gov/ygr. a.
These conferences are intended to be substantive and productive. Accordingly, each party shall be represented at case management conferences by lead trial counsel or counsel with authority to enter into stipulations and make admissions pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(a) and (c), as well as fully prepared to address all of the matters in the CAND CMC Order and Civil L.R. 16-10(b).
Failure to do so shall be considered grounds for sanctions. Because of the substantive discussions that occur during case management conferences, telephonic appearances are disfavored.
7.
Proposed Orders Required. Each party filing or opposing any motion shall also serve a proposed order that sets forth the relief or action sought and a short statement of the rationale of the decision, including citation of authority that the party requests the Court to adopt, and citations to the record evidence where applicable. The proposed order should be submitted at the same time as the motion or opposition, with a courtesy copy emailed to ygrpo@cand.uscourts.gov. This email address should not be used by litigants for substantive communications.

Discovery and Discovery Motions. Time permitting, the Court will maintain discovery disputes. The provisions of this paragraph apply only to cases in which discovery is supervised by this Court. Except as specifically set forth below, no motions regarding discovery disputes may be filed without prior leave of Court.
a.
Depositions: If a dispute arises during a deposition and involves a persistent obstruction of the deposition or a refusal to answer a material question on the basis of any ground other than privilege or the work-product doctrine, counsel may arrange a telephonic conference with the Court by contacting the Courtroom Deputy, Aris Garcia, at (510) 637-3540. Any such conference shall be attended by the court reporter recording the deposition.
b.
Joint Discovery Letter: All other requests for discovery relief must be summarized by the parties in one joint letter brief no longer than four pages (two pages per side). In the joint letter brief, counsel must attest that, prior to filing the request for relief, counsel met and conferred in person or by videoconference, and then concisely summarize all remaining issues that counsel were unable to resolve. The parties may not file multiple joint letter briefs irrespective of the number of disputes then at-issue. If there are multiple disputes at issue, the parties may provide a list of disputes as part of their joint letter brief.
The joint letter brief may cite to limited and specific legal authority only for resolution of dispositive issues. The joint letter brief may not be accompanied by declarations; however any specific excerpt of disputed discovery material may be attached. The Court will then advise the parties if additional briefing, a telephonic conference, or a personal appearance will be necessary. Note: Discovery letter briefs must be e-filed under the Civil Events category of
Motions and Related Filings: Motions—General: “Discovery Letter Brief.” c.
Stipulated Protective Orders:
1.
Parties submitting proposed forms of stipulated protective order shall include the following language with respect to resolution of designation disputes:
[6.3 Judicial Intervention.] If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge without court intervention, the parties shall follow the Court’s Standing Order in Civil Cases regarding Discovery and Discovery Motions. The parties may file a joint letter brief regarding retaining confidentiality within 21 days of the initial notice of challenge or within 14 days of the parties agreeing that the meet and confer process will not resolve their dispute, whichever is earlier. Failure by a Designating Party to file such discovery dispute letter within the applicable 21- or 14-day period (set forth above) with the Court shall automatically waive the confidentiality designation for each challenged designation. If, after submitting a joint letter brief, the Court allows that a motion may be filed, any such motion must be accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that the movant has complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed in the preceding

paragraph. The Court, in its discretion, may elect to transfer the discovery matter to a Magistrate Judge. In addition, the parties may file a joint letter brief regarding a challenge to a confidentiality designation at any time if there is good cause for doing so, including a challenge to the designation of a deposition transcript or any portions thereof. If, after submitting a joint letter brief, the Court allows that a motion may be filed, any motion brought pursuant to this provision must be accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that the movant has complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed by the preceding paragraph.
The Court, in its discretion, may elect to refer the discovery matter to a Magistrate Judge. The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has waived the confidentiality designation by failing to file a letter brief to retain confidentiality as described above, all parties shall continue to afford the material in question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until the court rules on the challenge. 2.
The Northern District provides a model form of Stipulated Protective Order for Standard Litigation at cand.uscourts.gov/model-protective- orders. The parties shall submit a redline comparison with the model Stipulated Protective Order for Standard Litigation, along with their electronic form of proposed order, to ygrpo@cand.uscourts.gov.

Motions for Summary Judgment.
a.

The moving party must file a letter, with a copy to Chambers and the opposing parties, to request a pre-filing conference, and propose a date and time for such conference. Pre-filing conferences are normally set for Wednesday or Friday afternoons at 2:00 p.m. unless circumstances and the Court’s calendar require otherwise, and should be requested sufficiently in advance of the deadlines established in the Court’s initial case management order. All pre-filing conferences are held in person and appearances via telephone and videoconference will not be allowed.
The moving party’s letter shall be submitted at least seven (7) business days prior to the proposed conference date and must explain the grounds for the motion.

These requirements also apply to any response to additional material facts raised in the opposition.
If the opposing party contends that the fact is in dispute, the party must cite to evidence in the record which establishes the dispute. Consistent with the Civil Local Rules, evidentiary objections shall be provided in the motion papers. Objections raised in the Responsive Separate Statement of are improper and may be disregarded.

12.
Motions to Seal. Parties shall adhere to the below sealing procedures for complex cases/motions where considerable material is being filed under seal. The Court will advise parties if such procedures should be followed, although they may also raise the applicability of the below procedures with the Court in the first instance.

b. Whether each contains the filing party’s confidential information or another party’s confidential information.

Example A party wants to file a motion for relief. They want to file: the motion with redactions, Ex. A with redactions, Ex. B with no sealing/redactions, and Ex. C entirely under seal. They would file the redacted version of the motion for relief with no attachments, (e.g. at Dkt. No. 100) and then, at the next docket entry (Dkt. No. 101), file a Temporary Sealing Motion with the content described in this section. Then, they would attach all items associated with the Primary Entry:
• Dkt. No. 101-1: Motion for Relief (sealed) • Dkt. No. 101-2: Exhibit A (Sealed) • Dkt. No. 101-3: Exhibit A (Redacted) • Dkt. No. 101-4: Exhibit B (Not under seal) • Dkt. No. 101-5: Ex. C: (Sealed)

1 All attachments means all items, whether sealed, unsealed, containing filing party’s confidential materials, or other party’s confidential materials. The Court’s goal is to have all items associated with a motion/brief located in one docket entry.

Note that if, like Ex. C above, a document is filed entirely under seal, there is no need to file an additional docket entry with a cover page indicating that it has been filed under seal, as under the standard procedures.

c. Service and Opportunity for Dedesignation i. The filing party shall serve all documents to be sealed upon all parties and on any designating third party whose confidential information is included.
ii. Within 10 calendar days of receiving service, each designating party or third party shall communicate with the filing party regarding the sealing designations made.
1. If the designating party agrees with the proposed provisional sealing, no action is needed until the omnibus sealing procedures described in the Post-Briefing Omnibus Sealing Procedures.
2. If the designating party believes a document may be filed with redactions (rather than entirely under seal) or with fewer redactions, the designating party shall provide the filing party with a redacted version of the document for filing. The filing party will then be responsible for providing the document to the Court in accordance with the Post-Briefing Omnibus Sealing Procedures.
3. If the designating party determines that the document is not entitled to protection, the designating party shall provide the filing party with a version of the document with the confidentiality designations removed for filing. d. For ease of reference, the parties shall consistently use the same identifier (e.g., Bates number) when referring to a given document produced by a party or third party containing confidential information.

Post-Briefing Omnibus Sealing Procedures

a. Within 14 calendar days following the conclusion of briefing on the motion or other filing2 for which the sealing requests were made, the parties shall file, after the filing and designating parties meet and confer regarding the proposed sealing and redactions: i. Omnibus Sealing Stipulation: Parties shall file an omnibus sealing stipulation addressing all documents and portions of documents sought to be sealed in connection with the underlying motion or other court filing.
The omnibus sealing stipulation shall include: 1. A chart listing all documents requested to be seal. The chart shall identify: a. each document by a consistent identifier (e.g., Bates number) as well as by the docket entry(ies) at which it has been filed under seal; 1. organized by the requested action (i.e., all undisputed requests to maintain a document under seal or provisional redactions, undisputed requests

2 All Daubert motions shall be treated as one motion for purposes of this section. This means that though there may be numerous Daubert motions, parties shall file one Omnibus Sealing Stipulation and one set of Omnibus Sealing Motions, as described in this section. Similarly, cross-motions shall be treated as one motion.

to modify extent of sealing and/or provisional redactions, disputes); if a document is subject to multiple requested actions (e.g., it contains both undisputed redactions and disputed redactions), it should receive entries in each section as appropriate. b. if in agreement, the basis for sealing;3 c. whether a party has previously sought to seal the document or any information in the document; whether it was sealed; and the docket location of the order addressing the request.
2. If parties have agreed to modify the redaction of a document, the modified redacted version shall be included as an exhibit to the stipulation. If the parties agree on some, but not all, modified versions, this modified redacted version shall redact any material that all parties do not agree to unseal. 3. Declarations supporting requests to seal. 4. Proposed Order On Undisputed Sealing Requests: Parties shall file and email to the Court’s proposed order inbox, a proposed order addressing all undisputed sealing requests. This shall be in chart form with a column identifying the document(s), a column describing the action to be taken (seal, portions to redact, unseal), and a column for the Court’s order. ii. Omnibus Motions on Sealing Disputes: 1. Each party may file one motion addressing all disputed documents and information. Each motion shall be no longer than 5 pages unless leave from the Court is granted.4 Motions shall be accompanied by appropriate declarations.
2. Proposed Order: Parties shall file an omnibus proposed order addressing all disputes. The order shall include a chart identifying all documents and portions of documents by consistent identifier (e.g., Bates number) and docket location and a column for the Court’s order on each document and portions of documents.
iii. Within 5 business days of the motions being filed, each party may file one opposition, of no more than 5 pages, unless leave is granted per the procedures identified above, in response to the sealing motions.
iv. Within 5 business days of the oppositions being filed, moving parties shall file replies of no more than five pages, unless leave is granted per the procedures described above.
b. If the briefing consists of a single filing (e.g., a joint discovery letter brief), the above procedures shall apply and the date of submission of the single filing will qualify as the “conclusion of briefing” for purposes of the above procedure. c. The parties may, by stipulation filed on the docket, extend the time to file the Omnibus Stipulation and Omnibus Motion to 21 days after the conclusion of briefing. Extensions beyond 21 days must be approved by the Court.

3 This should be brief. The Court shall request further explanation if necessary.
4 Before seeking leave for additional pages, a party must meet and confer with all other moving parties and file an omnibus motion that includes all requests. That is, there shall be only one motion and one docket entry regarding requests for additional pages. Each party shall have no more than one page therein to address the additional pages requested and basis for that request.

Procedures After Court Issues Sealing Orders

After the Court issues its order(s) on the parties’ omnibus stipulation and motion(s) to seal, the following shall be done by the Court and parties. a. If the Court grants the stipulation or motion(s) to seal, no action will be needed.
The document or portions of documents will remain under seal or redacted where filed.
b. If the Court orders a document filed under seal to be unsealed, the court clerk shall unseal the document where it is filed. c. If the Court orders modifications to the redaction/sealing of documents, within 14 days of the Court’s order the parties shall jointly file a stipulation with all modified documents attached. The stipulation shall include a chart which identifies the docket entries to which each modified document corresponds.
13.
Amended Complaints and Motions for Leave to Amend. In connection with all amended complaints and motions seeking leave to amend pleadings, parties shall submit a redline comparison with the operative pleading to ygrpo@cand.uscourts.gov upon filing of the amended complaint or motion seeking leave to amend. This requirement does not apply to self- represented parties.
14.
Securities Cases. Within 14 days of service of the complaint (or consolidated complaint), the plaintiff shall file a chart summarizing the information required by 15 U.S.C. § 78u-4(b)(1) and (2), specifically identifying the allegations in the operative complaint as follows: (a) each statement alleged to have been false or misleading; (b) the speaker, date, and medium by which the statement was made; (c) the reason(s) the statement was false or misleading when made; and (d) the facts alleged to show that defendant(s) knew the statement false and/or misleading. The chart should clearly identify which statements or omissions are attributable to which defendants and, for each such defendant, the facts alleged which give rise to a strong inference that the defendant acted with the required state of mind at the relevant time. The chart must strictly adhere to the allegations in operative complaint and may not include any new or supplemental information or explanation. The chart should be organized in the following format:
Statement No. The Speaker(s), Date(s), and Medium False and Misleading Statements Reasons Statements Were False and Misleading When Made Facts Giving Rise to a Strong Inference of Scienter When: [date]
Where: [e.g. Press release]
Speakers: [e.g. CEO] (Compl. ¶ __) [Direct quotation of the alleged false and misleading statements.] [Summarize arguments on falsity with specific references to paragraphs in the complaint.] [Summarize arguments on scienter with specific references to paragraphs in the complaint.] 15.
Communication with Court. Parties shall not contact Judge Gonzalez Rogers or her chambers staff directly by telephone, email, or any other ex parte means, but may contact the Courtroom Deputy at (510) 637-3540 with appropriate inquiries with counsel for all parties

included on the communication. Parties should list their email address as well as their telephone numbers on their papers to facilitate communication with the Courtroom Deputy. All counsel listed on the parties’ briefing must be fully apprised of the status of the pending matter and must be authorized to respond to calendar settings by the Court.
16.
Service of Standing Orders. Plaintiff (or in the case of removed actions, any removing defendant) is directed to serve copies of this Standing Order in Civil Cases and the CAND CMC Order at once upon all parties to their action, and upon those subsequently joined, in accordance with the provisions of Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Rules 4 and 5, and to file with the Clerk of the Court a certificate reflecting such service, in accordance with Civil Local Rule 5-6(a). 17. Settlements a.
Notices of Settlement. Any notice of settlement sent to the Court must be signed by all parties to the settlement. Electronically filed notices shall be signed pursuant to Civil Local Rule 5-1(i), including, if applicable, a filer’s attestation as provided by Civil Local Rule 5-1(i)(3). b.
Request for Approval of Class Action Settlement: A motion for Court approval of a class action settlement must provide the information described in the Northern District of California’s Procedural Guidance for Class Action Settlements.
18.
Unrepresented Parties. Parties representing themselves may wish to contact the Legal Help Center, a free program that offers limited legal services to pro se litigants. The Legal Help Center can provide information, advice, and basic legal help but cannot represent litigants as their lawyers. Telephone appointments can be scheduled by emailing fedpro@sfbar.org or by calling (415) 782-8982. Additional information can be found online at https://www.cand.uscourts.gov/pro-se-litigants/.
19.
Pronouns/Titles. Parties and attorneys may indicate their pronouns and titles (e.g. Mr., Ms., Mx.) by including them in the name block or signature line of their pleadings, or by submitting a letter directed to chambers. 20.
ADA Litigation. General Order 56 sets forth various deadlines that parties must adhere to in prosecuting claims pursuant to the ADA. Failure to comply with those deadlines may result in sanctions, including dismissals for failure to prosecute. Any extensions of General Order 56’s deadlines must be sought no later than one week in advance of the deadline and must be supported by a concrete and particularized showing of good cause. Parties are advised that stipulations or motions that fail to comply with this order may be summarily dismissed and/or may lead to appropriate sanctions for non-compliance. 21.
Formatting Considerations.
a.
Footnotes: Footnotes shall be used sparingly, should never be less than 12-point font, and must include a single paragraph space in between individual footnotes.
b.
Incorporation by Reference and Record Citations: Incorporation by reference is a narrow exception applicable to certain pleadings. Parties shall never

incorporate by reference prior argument submitted in the case. This practice creates substantial administrative burdens and may be construed as circumventing limits on pagination. Furthermore, pincites to the record shall be as particular as possible for citations to the record.
c.
String Citations: String citations without any analysis or descriptive parentheticals will be disregarded.
d.
Electronic Filing: It is imperative that counsel know what their filings will look like on ECF once submitted to the Court. Accordingly, counsel shall familiarize themselves with this District’s guidance on e-filing available online at https://www.cand.uscourts.gov/cases-e-filing/cm-ecf/. This applies even if counsel will be relying extensively on staff to finish filings.
As a tutorial from the District shows, parties may name individual attachments and documents. See https://www.cand.uscourts.gov/cases-e-filing/cm-ecf/e- filing-my-documents/tutorial/. These names shall be as descriptive as possible to help the Court identify pertinent documents on the docket. Parties are on notice that the Court may strike burdensome and/or illegible filings and direct them to be refiled consistent with the District’s guidance. While not required, pro se litigants may sign up to be registered ECF users.
Failing to comply with filings requirements and the Civil Local Rules may result in ECF filing privileges being revoked. IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: November 13, 2025

United States District Judge

Judge Gonzalez Rogers' Patent Standing Order

[Source: https://cand.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/standing-orders/Standing-Order-for-Patent-Cases-Updated-3.3.24.pdf]

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA STANDING ORDER FOR PATENT CASES Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers (Revised March 13, 2024) 1. Joint Claim Construction Statement: a. The initial claim construction statement required by Patent Local Rule 4-3 shall be joint. Disputed terms, phrases, and clauses shall be designated as disputed. All other terms shall be presumed undisputed. For any term in dispute, the parties must agree on the identity of the term. For each claim, each party shall identify with specificity the intended impact of the proposed constructions on the merits of the case. b. With respect to disputed terms, phrases, or clauses, the joint statement shall list: each disputed term, phrase, or clause (listed by claim); each party’s proposed construction; support for each party’s proposed construction side by side; and each party’s impact statement for each term to be construed. A model construction statement is attached hereto as Exhibit A. c. Parties shall attach to the joint claim construction statement copies of all patents in dispute. Parties shall also make a complete prosecution history for each patent available to the Court upon request. 2. Claim Construction a. As an initial matter, the Court will construe no more than ten terms. If more than ten terms are at issue, the parties shall meet and confer before the preparation of the joint claim construction statement on narrowing the selection of terms to be construed by the Court and shall jointly propose the ten terms requiring construction. b. If a party genuinely believes that it will require that more than ten terms be construed, that party may request leave to designate additional terms for construction, pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7-11(b). The requesting party must demonstrate good cause and explain why other methods of limiting the claims at issue (such as the selection of representative claims or any grouping of claims by issues presented) would be ineffective. The request must be filed no later than two weeks before the deadline for filing the joint claim construction statement. If good cause is shown, the Court will either agree to construe all terms or schedule a second claim construction proceeding on the excess terms. If more than ten terms are submitted for construction without leave of court, the Court will construe the first ten terms listed in the joint claim construction statement and sanctions may be imposed. c. Claim construction briefs shall address each disputed term, but only those that are truly disputed, following the order of the joint statement. The opening and opposition briefs shall not exceed 25 pages; the reply brief shall not exceed 15 pages. d. The Court anticipates that a meaningful meet and confer between the parties preceding the preparation of the joint claim construction statement will obviate the need for a party to propose in its briefs a claim construction that differs from that proposed in the

statement. While the Court encourages the parties to negotiate mutually agreeable constructions, the Court discourages the parties from proposing new constructions for the first time in reply briefs or other filings which do not afford the opposing party an opportunity to respond. However, if it becomes necessary for a party to propose a different construction in its brief than that found in the joint claim construction statement, that party must clearly set forth the new construction and explain the basis for the change. Additionally, that party shall revise the joint claim construction statement, so that the Court will have one document reflecting all current proposed constructions. e. At the time of filing the reply briefs, the parties shall file an amended joint claim construction statement, including only the remaining disputed terms, phrases, and clauses. 3. Tutorial and Claim Construction Hearing a. The Court will schedule a tutorial to occur one to three weeks prior to the claim construction hearing. Each side will be permitted 45-60 minutes to present a short summary and explanation of the technology at issue. The party who intends to describe the technology broadly precedes a more narrow description of the technology. Visual aids are encouraged. The parties shall contact the Courtroom Deputy, Aris Garcia, at (510) 637-3540 to make arrangements for testing any audio-visual equipment prior to the tutorial if in person or Zoom requirements if remote. b. Parties can decide who should make the presentation. No argument will be permitted. As a general matter, the tutorial is not recorded. Parties may not rely on statements made at the tutorial in other aspects of the litigation. The Court, however, encourages the parties to make a joint presentation and will entertain requests for additional time in those circumstances. c. Prehearing conferences generally are not held. However, either party may request a telephone conference within two weeks prior to the hearing, or the parties may address any prehearing issues at the tutorial. d. The patent holder will act as the moving party for the purposes of claim construction. Opening briefs in support of claim construction must be filed at least six weeks before the date of the claim construction hearing, and the briefing schedule set forth at Patent Local Rule 4-5 will apply. e. The Court will not ordinarily hear extrinsic evidence at the claim construction hearing. Should it become apparent that testimony will be necessary, counsel may request a telephone conference with the Court within two weeks of the hearing to seek the Court’s approval. f. Demonstrative exhibits and visual aids are permissible at the hearing so long as they are based on information contained in the papers already filed. Counsel shall exchange copies of exhibits, as well as provide copies to the Court, no later than twenty-four hours prior to the hearing, and shall bring printed copies to the hearing. If a party requires use of audio-visual equipment in the courtroom, the party shall contact the Courtroom Deputy, Edwin Cuenco, to make an appointment to test that equipment on a date at least one day in advance of the hearing.

YVONNE GONZALEZ ROGERS United States District Judge g. The claim construction hearing generally will be scheduled for no longer than three (3) hours on either Wednesday or Friday afternoon. 4. Subsequent Case Management Conference a. Upon issuance of the claim construction ruling, the Court will also set a date for a further joint case management conference. In a joint case management statement to be filed fourteen (14) days prior to the conference, the parties must address the following topics: i. whether either party wishes to certify the claim construction ruling for immediate appeal to the Federal Circuit; ii. the filing of dispositive motions, and timing of those motions; iii. if willful infringement has been asserted, whether the allegedly-infringing party wishes to rely on the advice of counsel defense. If so, the parties should be prepared to address proposals for resolving any attorney-client privilege issues that arise, and whether the parties believe bifurcation of the trial into liability and damages phases would be appropriate; iv. anticipated post-claim construction discovery; v. any other pretrial matters; and vi. the progress of settlement discussions, if any. b. The Court will review the reports and, if necessary, schedule a further case management conference and enter any appropriate orders. 5. Miscellaneous a. All stipulated protective orders and filings shall comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. b. For documents submitted in connection with administrative motions to seal, parties shall provide chambers copies of the unredacted documents with proposed redacted material highlighted, as required Civil Local Rule 79-5(d)(1)(D), only. Do not submit chambers copies of the redacted versions of documents sought to be sealed.
