IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS
MARSHALL DIVISION
SEMANTIC ENGINES LLC,
Plaintiff,
v. Civil Action No. 2:26-cv-339-JRG
MICROSOFT CORPORATION,
Defendant.
JOINT MOTION FOR LEAVE TO AMEND DOCKET CONTROL ORDER
Plaintiff Semantic Engines LLC and Defendant Microsoft Corporation jointly move to
amend the Court’s July 24, 2026 Docket Control Order.
First, the parties agree to amend the Deadline for Defendant to Comply with P.R. 3-3 & 3-
4 (Invalidity Contentions) and to Comply with Standing Order Regarding Subject-Matter
Eligibility Contentions from August 31, 2026, to October 16, 2026.
Second, the parties agree to amend the Deadline to Complete Fact Discovery and File
Motions to Compel Discovery from January 18, 2028, to December 15, 2027. This amendment
will enable the parties to avoid scheduling depositions during the holiday season and provide
adequate time between the close of fact discovery and the deadlines for expert disclosures.
Third, the parties agree to amend the Deadline to Serve Disclosures for Expert Witnesses
by the Party with the Burden of Proof from January 18, 2028, to January 14, 2028, and to amend
the Deadline to Serve Disclosures for Rebuttal Expert Witnesses from February 7, 2028, to
February 10, 2028.
Fourth and last, the parties agree to amend the chart of deadlines to add the Deadline to
Submit Joint Notice Indicating Whether the Case Should Be Referred for Mediation, which is two
weeks after Court’s issuance of Claim Construction Order. This deadline already appears in the
Case 2:26-cv-00339-JRG Document 33 Filed 08/20/26 Page 2 of 4 PageID #: 307
“Additional Requirements” section of the Docket Control Order, and the parties propose adding it
to the chart to aid in tracking deadlines.
Accordingly, the parties jointly move the Court for entry of the attached First Amended
Docket Control Order attached as Exhibit 1.
