I'm not sure what the procedures are in this situation but I would assume that Judge Andrews still wants to keep Cox as the first trial being he had a reason for it from the get-go... They are a medium sized infringer which can set parameters for the smaller guys and the bigger guys. I would assume that the trial is for Cox will still be first and get postponed to a later date with the other trials hopefully getting scheduled thereafter with a definitive date (this seems to be what Chanbond wants to set in stone). Whether or not it is possible for the Judge to do so in that regard - I'm not sure - however, it makes a lot of sense for us to push that pressure point as it would force the 13 to continue settlement discussions with and end date in mind for trial.

The letter comes one day after a different Delaware federal judge rescheduled a jury trial planned for next month between Sunoco and Magellan Midstream over gasoline patents, scrapping an earlier, "experimental" plan to have jurors attend in-person with witnesses testifying remotely due to the pandemic.
Chief U.S. District Judge Leonard Stark postponed the trial, which had been scheduled for Aug. 3, after the parties wrote letters to the court on Friday and Saturday. Sunoco Partners Marketing & Terminals LLC requested a postponement, citing increasing COVID-19 cases in Delaware, while Magellan Midstream Partners LP said the case was ready for trial.
