Status Conference Today in Qualcomm, Inc. v. Broadcom Corp. Regarding Discovery Plan and Further Proceedings
On March 20, 2008, the court convened a status hearing and counsel reported their progress toward developing the CREDO protocol ordered by the court. The court also conferred with the parties regarding the status of the case in light of Judge Brewster’s March 5, 2008 Order Remanding in Part Order of Magistrate Court re Motion for Sanctions Dated 1/07/08. Because Judge Brewster vacated the 1/07/08 Sanctions Order to the extent it required the named Responding Attorneys to participate in the CREDO project, the Magistrate Judge observed that only Qualcomm remained responsible for completing the protocol. Thus, the court ordered Qualcomm to submit a final version of the CREDO protocol by Thursday, April 10, 2008. (If it was filed by the court’s deadline, the protocol does yet not appear to be publicly available.)
