STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER REGARDING EXPERT DESIGNATIONS PURSUANT TO ORDER FOR PRETRIAL PREPARATION (DKT. 81)

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

WHEREAS, Section B of the Court's November 18, 2009 Order for Pretrial Preparation (Dkt. 81), provides the following deadlines for expert designations: Plaintiff shall designate any experts by 4/15/10; defendant by 4/30/10; rebuttal disclosure by NOT SET. Any expert not so named may be disallowed as a witness. No expert will be permitted to testify to any opinion, or basis or support for an opinion, that has not been disclosed in response to an appropriate question or interrogatory from the opposing party. Expert discovery shall be completed by 5/17/10. WHEREAS, Plaintiff Google Inc. ("Google") and Defendant Netlist, Inc. ("Netlist") have

8 a mutual interest in the orderly and efficient conduct of this litigation, and they agree that because 9 this is a declaratory judgment action involving Netlist's claim of infringement and Google's claim 10 of invalidity, the initial expert deadline in the Court's Order for Pretrial Preparation should 11 apply to each party with respect to claims for which it bears the burden of proof; 12 WHEREAS, these stipulated requirements adhere to the Court's set deadlines and will

13 therefore have no effect on the current schedule for this case; 14 15 16 WHEREAS, the parties have met and conferred on the issue; IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED THAT: 1. The Court's deadlines set forth in Section B of the Order for Pretrial Preparation

17 should be interpreted as follows: 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 E. D. C. B. A. Netlist, Inc. shall designate experts and submit expert reports relating to any matters for which it bears the burden of proof (including infringement and damages claims) by 4/15/10; Google Inc. shall designate experts and submit expert reports relating to any matters for which it bears the burden of proof (including invalidity claims) by 4/15/10; Netlist, Inc. shall designate experts and submit expert reports relating to any rebuttal of Google Inc.'s expert disclosures by 4/30/10; Google Inc. shall designate experts and submit expert reports relating to any rebuttal of Netlist, Inc's expert disclosures by 4/30/10; Both parties shall complete expert discovery by 5/17/10.
