MEMORANDUM & ORDER
Gorton, United States District Judge
In this bifurcated patent infringement case defendant Zoll Medical Corporation (“Zoll”) moves to postpone the trial on damages scheduled for July, 2017 because of the prolonged reexamination of the subject patents in the Patent and Trademark Office (“PTO”). Zoll also moves to set deadlines for plaintiffs Koninklijke Philips, N.V. and Philips Electronics North America Corporation (collectively, “Philips”) to seek leave to file amended or new expert damage reports. For the reasons that follow, both motions will be denied.
