YOUR CASE FILE
  • Entry #184: Motion for discovery hearing and telephonic conference filed by MicroVention on 8/5/22, scheduled for 8/11/22 at 9:30 AM before Mag. Judge Scott
  • Entry #185: Letter brief filed 8/10/22 supporting discovery motion to compel individual defendants Ferrera and Le, includes 11 exhibits
  • Entry #183: Transcript notice filed 8/3/22 for 7/27/22 proceedings (9:33-10:01 AM) - no PDF available
  • Critical deadline: Hearing is tomorrow morning at 9:30 AM
WHAT THE OTHER SIDE DID
  • MicroVention is aggressively pursuing individual defendants (Ferrera and Le) rather than just the corporate entity, suggesting they believe these individuals have unique discoverable information
  • The timing shows urgency - filing the supporting brief just one day before the scheduled hearing indicates either strategic pressure tactics or genuine discovery disputes requiring immediate resolution
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOUR CASE
  • This discovery motion targeting individual defendants suggests MicroVention may be building a case for personal liability or seeking evidence of willful infringement that could support enhanced damages
  • The focus on specific individuals rather than corporate discovery indicates potential issues around employee misconduct, trade secret misappropriation, or personal knowledge of infringement
