their respective counsel, respectfully submit this Joint Stipulation to Extend Claim

2
3

Construction Briefing.
On October 7, 2014, the Court originally set deadlines for claim construction. Dkt.

4

122. On January 13, 2015, the Court modified the schedule to set the following deadlines:

5

Claim Construction Opening Brief: February 23, 2015
Claim Construction Opposition Brief: March 9, 2015
Claim Construction Reply Brief: March 16,2015
Tutorial: Apri13, 2015 (2:30 p.m.)
Claim Construction Hearing: April13, 2015 (2:30 p.m.)

6
7
8

Dkt. 152.

9

The parties bring this joint stipulation to extend those dates because of the pending

10

motion by Cisco Systems Inc. to stay these consolidated cases pending the Patent and

11

Trademark Office's decision to institute inter partes review ("IPR") proceedings on the

12

patents-in-suit. Dkt. 161; 164. Cisco's motion is currently set for hearing on March 12,

13

2015. Dkt. 163.

14

Good cause exists to postpone claim construction briefing until after the decision on

15

Cisco's motion to stay because of the interest in judicial efficiency and economy. As the

16

schedule currently stands, the briefing schedule for Claim Construction overlaps with the

17

briefing schedule for Cisco's motion to stay. If the Court grants Cisco's motion, in light of

18

the pending IPR proceeding, the Claim Construction briefing and subsequent tutorial and

19

hearing will become moot. If the Court denies Cisco's motion, the parties may resume

20

Claim Construction briefing without any additional effect to the case schedule.

21

22
23
24

Based on calendar dates, the parties request that the Court grant an order amending
the upcoming claim construction deadlines as follows:

Claim Construction Opening Brief: March 26, 2015
Claim Construction Opposition Brief: April 9, 2015
Claim Construction Reply Brief: Apri116, 2015
Tutorial 5/1/15 at 2:30 p.m.

Claim construction hearing: 5/18/15 at 2:30 p.m.

' 25

The movants further request that the tutorial scheduled for April 3, 2015, and the claim

26

construction hearing set for April 13, 2015, be vacated and reset depending on the court's

27

convenience. No deadlines have been set in this case beyond the claim construction
