Defendants believe that the Court will be better prepared for a hearing on Defendants’
summary judgment motion, as well as Defendants motion for reconsideration regarding
“interactive-content application,” if the Court conducts the technology tutorial first. If the Court
has no earlier dates available for a technology tutorial, Defendants suggest that since all parties
appear to be available on November 1, the Court conduct the tutorial on that date, and hold the
hearing on the summary judgment motion on December 5, the date the parties are available for
the Further Case Management Conference. In response to Eolas’s footnote below, counsel for
Google is unavailable November 6-17, 2017 due to a trial in another matter.
2
Eolas is amenable to Defendants’ proposal to have a tutorial on November 1, 2017 in
conjunction with the summary judgment hearing, if the Court desires. On the other hand, a
change of date for a hearing on Defendants’ summary judgment motion from November 1 to
December 5, 2017 is strongly disfavored by Eolas. If a date other than November 1 is needed,
Eolas’s counsel is available for a hearing on November 2, 9, or 16. As noted at the Case
Management Conference, Eolas continues to believe that the hearing on Defendants’ summary
judgment motion should be heard in advance of the December 5th Further Case Management
Conference so that the conference will be more productive and so that the parties may quickly
resume case deadlines after that conference. Further, it would be very inconvenient for Eolas’s
counsel to prepare for and attend a December 5 hearing that would encompass summary
judgment issues in view of a previously-scheduled claim construction hearing on December 1 in
Marshall, Texas, particularly given the other alternative dates in November upon which the
hearing could be scheduled depending on Defendants’ and Court availability. To be clear,
however, Eolas and its counsel remain available for the Further Case Management Conference
on December 5.
