IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED BY THE PARTIES, THROUGH THEIR
UNDERSIGNED COUNSEL:
Pursuant to Civil L.R. 7-12 and Patent L.R. 3-6, Plaintiff Bluestone Innovations, LLC
(“Bluestone”) and Defendants LG Electronics, Inc. and LG Electronics U.S.A., Inc. (collectively
“LGE”), by and through their undersigned counsel, hereby consent and stipulate that, with leave of
Court, Bluestone may serve amended Patent L.R. 3-1 infringement contentions upon LGE. In support of
this stipulation, the parties state as follows:
The parties met and conferred about the sufficiency of Bluestone’s infringement claim charts with
regards to the last element of claims 1 and 23.

Even though Bluestone believes its claim charts

sufficiently sets forth its infringement contentions with respect to the last element of claims 1 and 23, in
an effort to avoid burdening the Court with a discovery dispute on this issue, Bluestone agrees to
supplement its infringement claim charts.
By entering into this stipulation, LGE does not waive its right to challenge Bluestone’s use of
representative claim charts. Indeed, LGE plans to submit a letter brief shortly after the parties enter into
this stipulation asking this Court for relief from Bluestone’s use of representative claim charts. In
addition, LGE wants to make clear that this stipulation relates to Bluestone’s procedural compliance with
the Patent Local Rule 3-1 requirements.

LGE does not waive any right or ground to challenge

Bluestone’s contentions on substantive grounds, including that LGE’s accused products do not infringe
the patent in suit.
For the avoidance of any confusion, LGE’s invalidity contentions shall be served by October 17,
2013, as set forth in the parties’ Stipulated Request for Order Changing Time (Dkt. No. 125), regardless
of the date by which this Stipulation and Proposed Order is entered and Bluestone serves its amended
LPR 3-1 infringement contentions.
Accordingly, the parties stipulate that Bluestone may amend its Patent L.R. 3-1 infringement
contentions within five days of this Stipulation and Proposed Order.
