LINKEDIN CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation Case No. 5:11-cv-02465-PSG JOINT STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER STAYING CASE PENDING APPEAL Ctrm: 5, 4th Floor Judge: Honorable Paul Singh Grewal Defendant and Counterclaim Plaintiff. 25 26 27 28 JOINT STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER STAYING CASE PENDING APPEAL CASE NO. 5:11-CV-02465-PSG 1 2 JOINT STIPULATION On December 10, 2010, EIT filed a patent infringement action against multiple defendants in the 3 Northern District of California (C-10-05623-WHA) before the Honorable William H. Alsup. That action 4 alleged that each defendant infringed claims 40 and 41 of U.S. Patent No. 5,828,837. After the initial 5 case management conference, Judge Alsup held that the defendants, including LinkedIn Corporation 6 (“LinkedIn”), were improperly joined and dismissed all but the first-named defendant (Yelp! Inc.). EIT 7 thereafter filed this action against LinkedIn alleging infringement of the same claims. 8 At the initial case management conference in this action, the parties informed the Court that 9 Judge Alsup had set a claim construction hearing in the originally-filed Yelp case for early October 2011. 10 The parties accordingly asked the Court to continue the case management conference and to postpone 11 setting a schedule until Judge Alsup had had time to consider EIT and Yelp’s respective positions on what 12 the claims mean. The Court agreed and set another case management conference. At that subsequent 13 conference held on January 10, 2012, the parties explained the current proceedings before Judge Alsup, 14 including that Yelp had filed a motion for summary judgment of invalidity. 15 On January 20th, Judge Alsup issued an order on the summary judgment motion brought by Yelp, 16 holding that claims 40 and 41 are invalid. EIT already has filed a notice of appeal that indicates its intent 17 to appeal inter alia the summary judgment order entered in the Yelp case. If affirmed, however, there is 18 no dispute that that summary judgment order would completely resolve the case against LinkedIn 19 pending before this Court. The parties therefore respectfully request that the Court stay this case pending 20 the resolution of EIT’s appeal of the summary judgment order entered in EIT Holdings, LLC v. Yelp! Inc., 21 case no. 3:10-cv-05623-WHA (N.D. Cal.). 22 NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY AGREED AND STIPULATED THAT: 23 The undersigned parties agreed to stay this case, EIT Holdings, LLC v .LinkedIn Corporation, 24 case no. 5:11-cv-02465-PSG, until the fifth court day after EIT Holdings, LLC’s appeal of the summary 25 judgment order in EIT Holdings, LLC v. Yelp! Inc., case no. 3:10-cv-05623-WHA (N.D. Cal.) has been 26 finally adjudicated, which shall be the date on which the last appeal or certiorari petition with respect to 27 the summary judgment order has been denied, dismissed, withdrawn, or otherwise determined. 28 1 JOINT STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER STAYING CASE PENDING APPEAL CASE NO. 5:11-CV-02465-PSG 1 Dated: January 25, 2012 GOLDSTEIN & LIPSKI, PLLC 2 /s/ Edward W.
