MEMORANDUM ORDER
Plaintiff has filed a Motion To Compel Discovery (D.I. 52).
The motion seeks the production of Defendants' patent
applications, inventions, records, and related documents, which
purportedly concern Defendants’ accused product, PlayCentral.
Defendants offer several arguments in their opposition (D.I.
58). Defendants note the direct competitor status of Plaintiff
and Defendants and that the relevant patent applications are not
related to the patents—in—suit. In response to Plaintiff’s
contentions that the documents sought will assist Plaintiff in
understanding how the accused product works, Defendants assert
that they have produced over lO0,000 pages of documents
concerning the accused product and the documents sought will not
add to Plaintiff's knowledge.
I agree with Defendants that the accused product operates on
mechanical engineering principles and with the documents already

works. Thus, the Motion To Compel Discovery (D.I. 52) is DENIED.
