Bench Trial Begins
To the extent a document to be used as an exhibit at the Bench Trial was
6
previously marked either for identification or as a trial exhibit, the same exhibit number will be
7
used. Since these exhibits have already been exchanged, it will not be necessary to exchange a
8
copy of the Pre-Stamped Exhibit for these previously exhibits. The parties will mutually agree
9
upon a reasonable method for marking any exhibits not previously marked, and copies of any
10
such Pre-Stamped Exhibits will be exchanged in accordance with the schedule set forth above.
11
The parties further agree that the record from the jury trial held February 22, 2016 – March 8,
12
2016, will be considered as part of the record for the Bench Trial.
13
4.
The exchange of exhibit lists and deposition designations contemplated above will
14
include where appropriate the exchange of native versions of the lists (i.e., excel or word
15
document) to facilitate objections and meeting and conferring to resolve those objections. To
16
facilitate review of the exhibit list, the Parties agree that, in addition to the columns set out in
17
ECF No. 174, the exchanged exhibit lists will include columns for Beg Bates and End Bates for
18
any document not previously marked either for identification or as a trial exhibit. For the
19
convenience of the Parties, the Parties agree to exchange searchable PDF versions of any exhibits
20
not previously marked for identification or as a trial exhibit (or native files as appropriate), in lieu
21
of the printed copies called for in ECF No. 174. The parties will mutually cooperate to ensure
22
that legible copies of any exhibits intended to be used at the bench trial are exchanged in advance,
23
and by July 18, 2015. Each party will provide two sets of printed copies of the exhibits it intends
24
to use at the Bench Trial to the Court on the first day of trial, as required by ECF No. 174.
25
5.
The Parties will indicate which witnesses it intends to call live and which
26
witnesses it intends to call by deposition in accordance with the schedule set forth above, and will
27
provide any changes to this determination by July 18, 2016. The Parties further agree, however,
28
that should the need thereafter arise (e.g., a witness becomes unavailable) the Parties will not be

prohibited from later preparing deposition designations for that witness if appropriate. The
2
parties will exchange deposition designations only for those witnesses they actually plan to
3
submit to the Court for consideration, according to the schedule outlined above. The parties will
4
present to the Court excerpted transcripts annotating the designations, counter-designations, and
5
any objections. Should the Court wish the parties to present video deposition testimony at the
6
trial, the parties will meet and confer on a procedure to prepare the video clips.
7
6.
The parties will exchange demonstratives to be used in opening statements or
8
initial statements to the Court on the first day of trial by no later than 5:30 p.m. on July 22, 2016.
9
To the extent there are objections, the parties will meet and confer in an effort to resolve those
10
objections by 12:00 p.m. on July 23, 2016.
11
7.
By 5:30 pm on July 20, 2016, ATopTech will disclose the order of its witnesses
12
and any exhibits, including demonstrative exhibits, to be used with each witness disclosed
13
pursuant to paragraph 1. By 5:30 pm on July 21, 2016, Synopsys will provide any objections to
14
those exhibits and will disclose any cross exhibits for use with ATopTech’s witnesses. By 5:30
15
pm on July 21, 2016, Synopsys will disclose the order of its witnesses and any exhibits, including
16
demonstrative exhibits, to be used with each witness disclosed pursuant to paragraph 1. By 5:30
17
pm on July 22, 2016, ATopTech will provide any objections to those exhibits and will disclose
18
any cross exhibits for use with Synopsys’s witnesses. To the extent there are objections, the
19
parties will meet and confer in an effort to resolve those objections by 12:00 p.m. on July 23,
20
2016.
21
8.
Any demonstratives will be provided to opposing counsel as a color copy in PDF
22
form. If a demonstrative contains video, animations, or “builds,” they will be provided to
23
opposing counsel on DVD, CD, thumb drive, or FTP. If good faith efforts to resolve objections
24
to demonstratives fail, the objecting party shall bring any outstanding objections to the Court’s
25
attention prior to use of the demonstratives.
26
9.
The parties will identify the witnesses it intends to call, as well as the exhibits and
27
demonstratives to be used in connection with the testimony of those witnesses in accordance with
28
the schedule set forth in paragraphs 1 and 7 above and will meet and confer with respect to any
