Application and Construction
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois
Text
These Rules (“LPR”) apply to all cases filed in or transferred to this District after September 24, 2009 in which a party makes a claim of infringement, non-infringement, invalidity, or unenforceability of a utility patent. The Court may modify the obligations and deadlines of the LPR based on the circumstances of any particular case. If a party files, prior to the Claim Construction Proceedings provided for in LPR Section 5, a motion that raises claim construction issues, the Court may defer the motion until after the Claim Construction Proceedings.
