Joint Stipulation Requesting Continuance of Case Management Conference
Case No. 3:11-cv-02136-EMC

1

The parties to this action—plaintiff ADC Technology, Inc. (“ADC”) and defendants Palm,

2

Inc. and Hewlett-Packard Co. (collectively, “Palm”)—respectfully submit this stipulation, requesting

3

that the Court continue the Case Management Conference previously scheduled in this action for

4

May 18, 2012 to a date in September 2012, or an alternative future date that is convenient to the

5

Court. Good cause exists for this continuance, as set forth below:

6



This is a patent case in which the plaintiff, ADC, asserts three patents—namely, U.S.

7

Patent Nos. 6,985,136 (the “’136 patent”), 7,057,605 (the “’605 patent”) and 7,567,361

8

(the “’361 patent”) (collectively, the “patents-in-suit”).

9



Office (“PTO”) ordered reexamination of each of the three patents-in-suit.

10
11

In mid-2011, pursuant to a third-party request, the United States Patent and Trademark



In July 2011, defendant Palm filed a stipulated motion to stay this case pending final

12

determination of the reexamination of the patents-in-suit by the PTO. (See Docket

13

No. 68.) Plaintiff ADC stipulated to this stay motion. (Id.)

14



On July 25, 2011, the Court granted the stipulated stay motion and ordered that “[t]his

15

action is stayed pending final determination of the reexamination of the patents-in-suit”

16

by the PTO. (See Docket No. 70.) In its order, the Court instructed the parties to advise

17

the Court when the PTO has issued a final determination on reexamination. (Id.) In

18

addition, the Court set a case management conference for May 11, 2012, which was

19

subsequently re-set for May 18, 2012. (Id.)

20



There has not yet been a final determination of the reexamination of all of the patents-in-

21

suit. Although the PTO has issued a reexamination certificate for one of the patents in

22

suit (the ’136 patent), the reexamination on the other two patents-in-suit (the ’605 and

23

’361 patents) remains ongoing.

24
25



The parties presently agree that this action should remain stayed pending a final
determination of the reexamination of at least the ’361 patent.

3
