Netskope, Inc. v. Fortinet, Inc.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
NETSKOPE, INC.,
Plaintiff,
v.
FORTINET, INC.,
Defendant.
Case No. 22-cv-01852-TLT (AGT)
ORDER RE: ADMINISTRATIVE MO-
TION TO SHORTEN TIME FOR
BRIEFING
Re: Dkt. No. 215
On November 14, 2025, Fortinet moved for leave to supplement its infringement
contentions, pursuant to Patent Local Rule 3-6. Dkt. 213. Fortinet concurrently filed an
administrative motion to shorten the briefing schedule or, alternatively, to extend the fact
discovery deadline by several months. Dkt. 215. Today, Judge Thompson referred
Fortinet’s motions to the undersigned and ordered that “a further extension of fact discovery
is not necessary regardless of whether Fortinet is granted leave to amend.” Dkt. 216.
Netskope opposes Fortinet’s motion to shorten the briefing schedule. Dkt. 218.
Based on the papers, Fortinet’s request for an order shortening time is DENIED. The
parties shall submit briefing on the motion for leave to amend as scheduled per the local
rules: Netskope’s response is due by November 28, 2025, and any reply from Fortinet is due
by December 5, 2025. The hearing date is set for December 19, 2025, in person, unless
otherwise ordered by the Court.
