From the Opinion

The passage below is extracted verbatim from the opening of the document. It has not been editorially summarized — consult the full opinion for the court's complete reasoning.

1. Introduction Prior to the claim construction hearing in this case, the parties filed eight discovery motions. That conduct is indicative of the manner in which this case has proceeded since before the initial scheduling conference. Most, if not all, of these motions should not have been necessary, and these disputes are indicative of a reckless disregard of th e discovery obligations and the rules of practice applicable in this court.
