The reasons for the requested six-week extension of these dates is set forth below, and in
the accompanying Declaration of J. Christopher Carraway.

21
22

1.

On November 15, 2018, the Court heard argument on Defendants’ Motion for

23

Summary Judgment of Invalidity (ECF No. 60) and took the motion under advisement. A

24

decision granting the motion would make claim construction proceedings moot.

2.

The parties are about to commence the most resource-intensive phase of claim

construction, including expert disclosures, claim construction discovery (including the

4

possibility of expert depositions), claim construction briefs, a Technology Tutorial, and

5

finally the Claim Construction Hearing.

3.

The parties seek this six-week extension to avoid expending significant party and

Court resources on claim construction proceedings at this time given that Defendants’
Motion for Summary Judgment of Invalidity is pending.
4.

The prior time modifications in this case are: (1) on May 10, 2018, the Court

11

granted (ECF No. 40) the parties’ stipulation to extend the briefing schedule for Motion to

12

Dismiss Big Baboon’s First Amended Complaint; (2) on November 23, 2018, the parties

13

stipulated to extend Defendants’ deadline for its Patent LR 4-1 disclosure from November

14
15
16
17

23, 2018 to November 28, 2018; (3) on November 28, 2018, the parties agreed to extend the
deadline for expert disclosures under Patent LR 4-2(b) from December 14, 2018 to January 7,
2019; (4) on January 3, 2019, the parties agreed to extend the deadline for expert disclosures

18

under Patent LR 4-2(b) from January 7, 2019 to January 14, 2019, and on January 4, 2019,

19

agreed to extend that deadline again to February 4, 2019; (5) on January 4, 2019, the parties

20

filed a stipulation extending all other claim construction deadlines by four weeks, a

21
22
23
24

stipulation this Court signed on January 6, 2019; (6) on January 30, 2019, the parties filed a
stipulation extending all other claim construction deadlines by six weeks, a stipulation this
Court signed on February 1, 2019.

The parties’ current proposed extension will not affect any other dates scheduled

for the case, as the only dates scheduled thus far are the dates at issue in this stipulation.
Pursuant to Local Rule 6-2, submitted with this stipulation is the Declaration of J.

5

Christopher Carraway, which (1) sets forth with particularity, the reasons for the requested

6

enlargement or shortening of time; (2) discloses all previous time modifications in the case,
