discovery is as follows
The parties have served several rounds of written discovery Plaintiff has
produced over 15,000 pages of its NDA on an "attorneys eyes only" basis The Stipulated
Protective Order was filed on August 15, 2005 The parties expect to exchange documents on
Septernher 7, 2005. The parties have discussed the scheduling of fact witness depositions and
will be exchanging lists of requested fact witnesses. Fact discovery is scheduled to close on
October I4, 2005
The parties have discussed and agree that, after the exchange of documents,
more time may be required to complete discovery To that end, the parties intend to provide a
status report to the Court on September 16, 2005 and may seek at that time a revised schedule to
accommodate completion of discovery Additional time will likely be necessary to complete
document discovery and secure depositions of foreign witnesses
