STIPULATION TO AMEND CASE MANAGEMENT SCHEDULE

1

Plaintiff BackWeb Technologies, Ltd. (“BackWeb”), defendant International Business

2 Machines Corporation (“IBM”) and Hewlett-Packard Company (“HP”), a defendant in BackWeb
3 Technologies, Ltd. v. Hewlett-Packard Co., Case No. C 10-4311 PJH (“BackWeb Tech. II”),
4 hereby stipulate through their respective counsel of record as follows:
5

WHEREAS the Initial Case Management Conference in this matter was held as scheduled

6 on April 21, 2011; and
7

WHEREAS, prior to the Initial Case Management Conference BackWeb and IBM jointly

8 submitted a Joint Case Management Statement outlining a schedule for claim construction which
9 joined the schedule for claim construction in BackWeb Tech. II; and
10

WHEREAS, at the Initial Case Management Conference, the Court stated concerns

11 regarding joining the claim construction schedule in BackWeb Tech. II because the Court would
12 not have sufficient time to properly perform claim construction if the parties in both matters were
13 each to submit separate briefs and attempt to construe 10 separate claim terms in each matter; and
14

WHEREAS, counsel for BackWeb and IBM represented that they thought an agreement to

15 consolidate would be possible whereby the parties in this matter and in BackWeb Tech. II could
16 agree to consolidate both the hearing and the related briefing process in a manner which would
17 reduce the burden on the Court and lead to greater efficiency in the claim construction process in
18 both matters; and
19

WHEREAS, the Court instructed BackWeb and IBM to speak to HP regarding these

20 issues; and
WHEREAS, BackWeb, IBM and HP (collectively “the parties”)1 have reached an

21

22 agreement which the parties hope will allow the Court sufficient time to properly perform claim
23 construction for both cases at the same time which is in the best interest of all parties and the
24 Court; and
25
26
27
28
04379.51786/4116232.1

If the Court has any concerns regarding the stipulation, the parties would ask the Court for
an opportunity to jointly discuss any issues with the Court, either telephonically or in person.

Case No. C 10-4310 PJH
-2STIPULATION TO AMEND CASE MANAGEMENT SCHEDULE

1

WHEREAS, the parties agree that they will work in good faith to limit the number of terms

2 for the Court to construe to ten (10) but if the parties are unable to limit it to ten (10) they will
3 jointly seek leave asking the Court to construe at most twelve (12) terms; and
4

WHEREAS, IBM and HP have agreed to file joint briefs; and

5

WHEREAS, the parties agree that they will work in good faith to stay within the page

6 limits dictated by the local rules for the Northern District of California but if they are unable to do
7 so, they will jointly seek leave from the Court to allow the parties to exceed the page limits by at
8 most ten (10) pages for the opening claim construction brief, under Local P.R. 4-5(a), and the
9 responsive claim construction brief, under Local P.R. 4-5(b); and
10

WHEREAS, the parties have also agreed to the Proposed Schedule attached hereto as

11 Exhibit A;
12

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties that the Court may set the dates

13 set forth in the Proposed Schedule attached hereto as Exhibit A.
