On July 18, 2013, Judge Kinkeade issued an Order (available here) in Long Range Systems v. HME Wireless. The Order reads in relevant part:
Before the court is Defendant HME Wireless, Inc.’s Opposed Expedited Motion to Strike Declaration of Michael Ian Shamos, PhD., in Support of Plaintiff Long Range Systems, LLC’s Opening Claim Construction brief, filed June 3, 2013. The motion is denied. The court has observed that both sides appear to want to use gamesmanship to litigate their respective cases. The court reminds the parties and all counsel that local counsel must be included on all pleadings. Further, non-local counsel for the parties are strongly urged to consult with local counsel regarding the court’s view of this type of behavior. Any re-occurrence of this type of conduct will result in sanctions against one or both sides.
(Judge Kinkeade also noted that “[a]ll counsel are also reminded that all documents (including exhibits) must be filed in portrait format, not landscape.”)
