Plaintiff IGT, Defendant-Counterclaim Plaintiff Aristocrat Technologies, Inc. (“ATI”), and

2

Counterclaim Plaintiffs Aristocrat Technologies Australia Pty Ltd (“ATA”) and Aristocrat International

3

Pty Ltd. (“AI”) (ATI, ATA, and AI collectively, “Aristocrat”) (IGT and Aristocrat collectively, the

4

“Parties”), by and through their respective counsel, hereby agree and stipulate as follows:

7

1.

On March 2, 2016, the Court entered a Stipulated Case Management Order (ECF No. 109)

setting a schedule for the first phase of the case.
2.

The Stipulated Case Management Order provides that the deadline for the Parties to file

8

responsive claim construction briefs is September 23, 2016 and the deadline for the Parties to file reply

9

claim construction briefs is October 14, 2016.

10

3.

The parties have jointly agreed to extend the deadlines by two weeks for the Parties’

11

responsive and reply claim construction briefs. The parties believe this extension is necessary to allow

12

the parties adequate time to complete their briefs, which will be addressing multiple patents and disputed

13

claim terms.

14

4.

This is the first request for an extension of these deadlines. This extension will not

15

require modification of subsequent deadlines, as the remaining deadlines in the Stipulated Case

16

Management Order are based on the issuance of a claim construction ruling.

17

WHEREFORE, the Parties respectfully request that this Court approve this stipulation and order

18

that the Parties file responsive claim construction briefs on October 7, 2016 and reply claim construction

19

briefs on October 28, 2016.

20

Dated this 20th day of September, 2016.
