This is part of a series of articles discussing recent
orders of interest issued in patent cases by the United States
District Court for the District of Massachusetts.
In Ocean Semiconductors LLC v. Analog Devices
Inc., No. 24-cv-11759-PBS, Magistrate Judge
Levenson issued two orders addressing discovery disputes brought by
Plaintiff.
First, the Court denied additional Rule 30(b)(6) testimony of
Defendant, finding that Plaintiff's prior deposition delved
into subject matter not grounded in the claims of the asserted
patents and that the requested discovery was “marginally, if
at all, relevant.”
Next, the Court compelled responses to “sixteen broad
interrogatories” after narrowing the scope to focus on the
subject matter claimed by the patent at issue and thus
“tailored to meet the needs of this case.”
