Re: Ajjzmetrix, Inc. v. Illumina Inc., CA. No. 04-901 (JJF)
Ajjj/metrix, Inc. v. Illumina Inc., C.A. No. 07-670 (JJF)
Dear Judge Faman:
The Court currently has two cases between Affymetrix and Illumina pending
before it (C.A. Nos. 04-901 and 07-670). The earlier-filed case (C.A. 04-901) is scheduled to
com1nence trial on the validity issues on February ll, 2008. A pretrial conference has not yet
been set in that case, but the parties have requested a pretrial conference on January 23, 2008,
a11d have agreed to a schedule for preparing the pretrial order based on that date. (D.I. 463, R.
Herrmann Dec. 3, 2007 letter). In addition, the Court has set a scheduling conference in the
` later-filed case (C.A. 07-670) for January 11, 2008. To minimize the cross-country travel for the
attorneys involved, if the Court’s schedule permits, Affymetrix requests that the Court
reschedule the January ll, 2008, scheduling conference in C.A. 07-670 to coincide with the
pretrial conference in C.A. No. 04-901 (i.e., on January 23, 2008). Illumina has informed us that
it does not oppose such a scheduling change.
For the Coiu*t’s convenience, I have enclosed forms of order for scheduling these
events in each of these cases.
Respectfully,
MN/dlb
