Case No. 11-cv-01846-LHK
BRIGGS DECLARATION IN SUPPORT OF SAMSUNG’S MOTION
TO SHORTEN TIME

1

I, Todd M. Briggs, declare:

2

1.

I am a partner at Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, LLP, counsel for Samsung

3 Electronics Co., Ltd., Samsung Electronics America, Inc. and Samsung Telecommunications
4 America, LLC (collectively, “Samsung”). I am licensed to practice law in the State of California.
5 I submit this declaration in support of Samsung’s Motion to Shorten Time for Briefing and
6 Hearing. I have personal knowledge of the facts set forth in this declaration and, if called upon as
7 a witness, I could and would testify to the following facts.
8

2.

The relief requested in Samsung’s Motion to Shorten Time is necessary in order to

9 allow the Court to decide Samsung’s Motion to Supplement Invalidity Contentions before the
10 close of fact discovery on March 8, 2012.
11

3.

Samsung contacted Apple on January 26, 2012, requesting that Apple agree to brief

12 and hear this motion on shortened timeframe. Apple failed to respond to Samsung’s request.
13

4.

If the Court does not grant briefing and hearing on shortened time, the motion to

14 supplement invalidity contentions would not be briefed until late February, 2012, and likely would
15 not be heard until May 2012 (based on Samsung's understanding of the Court's calendar). By this
16 time, the fact discovery deadline – and likely the expert report and expert discovery deadlines –
17 would have passed.
18

5.

Pursuant to Civil L.R. 6-3(a)(5), previous time modifications in this case, whether

19 by stipulation or Court order, include the following:

Stipulation and Order regarding an extension of time for Samsung to serve

26

responsive pleadings. (Dkt No. 40.)
