JOINT MOTION FOR SETTING OF CONTENTION DEADLINES AND FOR
EXTENDING CLAIM CONSTRUCTION BRIEFING DEADLINES

02426.51761/4107441.1

JOINT MOTION RE DEADLINES
No. 1:10cv023580-Civ-UU

Apple Inc. (“Apple”) and Motorola Inc. and Motorola Mobility, Inc. (“Motorola”)
(collectively, the “Parties”) jointly move the Court to enter certain contention deadlines and to
adjust the claim construction briefing deadlines in this matter. In support of their Motion, the
Parties state that:
1.

This action involves claims by both Motorola and Apple for patent infringement

with respect to various patents.
2.

On February 2, 2011, the Court entered a Scheduling Order For Pretrial

Conference and Trial (“Scheduling Order”).
3.

The Scheduling Order includes a June 24, 2011 deadline to file opening claim

construction briefs, a July 29, 2011 deadline to file responsive claim construction briefs, and a
September 14, 2011 claim construction hearing date.
4.

To streamline the claim construction process in this case, the Parties propose

adding exchange dates for infringement contentions, invalidity contentions, proposed claim
terms, and proposed claim constructions.
5.

The Parties’ proposed schedule does not alter any of the deadlines in the Court’s

Scheduling Order except for an adjustment to the claim construction briefing dates. The Parties
propose this adjustment to allow time for the other proposed dates without changing the claim
construction hearing date.
6.

The Parties have agreed to the following deadlines with respect to claim

construction:
a. June 1, 2011: the Parties will exchange element-by-element infringement
contentions.
b. June 20, 2011: the Parties will exchange element-by-element invalidity
contentions, along with descriptions of any invalidity arguments under 35 U.S.C. § 101 or § 112.
c. June 28, 2011: the Parties will exchange proposed claim terms that they
contend require construction by the Court.

d. July 7, 2011: the Parties will exchange proposed claim constructions.
e. July 28, 2011: the Parties will file opening claim construction briefs.
f. August 18, 2011: the Parties will file responsive claim construction briefs.
g. September 14, 2011: claim construction hearing (as scheduled).
7.

Accordingly, the Parties request that the Court enter the proposed Order Including

and Modifying Pretrial Dates for Claim Construction (“Order”), attached as Exhibit A hereto.
8.

As noted above, the proposed Order does not alter any of the dates and deadlines

set forth in the Court’s Scheduling Order other than an adjustment to the claim construction
briefing dates.
WHEREFORE, the Parties respectfully request that the Court enter the Order attached as
Exhibit A to this Motion.
