1. On January 11, 2016, the Parties exchanged Non-Infringement, Invalidity, and
Unenforceability Contentions pursuant to Local Rule 16.1-8.
2. The Scheduling Order (Dkt. No. 69) provides that the deadline for the Parties to

8

exchange Responses to Non-Infringement, Invalidity, and Unenforceability Contentions pursuant to

9

Local Rule 16.1-10 is February 5, 2016.

10

3. During the case management hearing on January 22, 2016, Magistrate Judge Foley

11

asked the parties whether he should extend any deadlines pending the issuance of a case management

12

order. The parties informed the Court that they would work together to determine the appropriate way

13

to handle the upcoming deadlines.

14

4. The parties have jointly agreed to extend the due date for the Local Rule 16.1-10

15

response contentions by two weeks, to February 19, 2016. IGT has agreed that it will provide responses

16

to Aristocrat’s Non-Infringement Contentions for certain claim limitations in IGT’s asserted patents

17

based on regulatory submissions regarding the accused products that Aristocrat has provided pursuant to

18

Local Rule 16.1-9. Aristocrat has identified for IGT those claim limitations for which it has specifically

19

requested such responses.

20

5. This is the first request for an extension of this deadline. This extension may require

21

modification of subsequent deadlines, such as the February 19, 2016 deadline for exchange of proposed

22

terms for claim construction pursuant to Local Rule 16.1-13. See Dkt. No. 69 at 4. The Parties propose

23

that any such modification be considered after the Court issues its forthcoming case management order.
