STIPULATION TO EXTEND EXPERT DISCOVERY
Plaintiff Synopsys, Inc. (“Synopsys”) and Defendant ATopTech, Inc. (“ATopTech”), by
and through their respective counsel of record, hereby stipulate and agree as follows:
1.

The Order Regarding Deadlines and Discovery Limits for Synopsys’ Patent

5

6

discovery.

2.

Because of difficulties associated with scheduling the depositions of the seven (7)

experts in the case, the parties agree that an extension of one week for expert discovery is needed.
3.

Accordingly, the parties request that the Court enter the attached (proposed) order

extending the close of expert discovery by one week to October 22, 2016.
4.

The parties do not believe that the requested extension will require any other

12

changes to the schedule. Specifically, the remaining deadlines for filing summary judgment

13

motions, the pre-trial conference, and trial would remain the same.
