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.

Before the Court is SAP’s Motion for Leave to Amend and Supplement Invalidity Contentions. Dkt. No. 131. Also before the Court is Plaintiffs’ Motion for Leave to Serve a Supplemental Expert Report Regarding an Unexpected Claim Construction. Dkt. No. 197. For the reasons discussed below, the Court DENIES SAP’s Motion and GRANTS Plaintiffs’ Motion. First, the Court finds that SAP has not shown good cause to amend its invalidity contentions to add its own product as invalidating prior art.
