UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS MARSHALL DIVISION DATATREASURY CORPORATION, Plaintiff v. WELLS FARGO & COMPANY, et al. Defendants DEFENDANTS' NOTICE OF ACCEPTANCE OF STIPULATION REQUIRED FOR STAY The Court ordered (Docket No. 798) that litigation of United States Patent Nos. 5,265,007; 5,717,868; 5,583,759; and 5,930,778 (the "Huntington Patents") be stayed in light of developments in the ex parte reexamination of those patents. As a required condition of the Court's stay, the undersigned Defendants through their counsel of record hereby notify the Court that they accept the following stipulation and the concomitant stay of all proceedings: As a condition of the stay, Defendants may not argue invalidity at trial based on one or more prior art printed publications that were submitted by the petitioner in the reexamination proceedings. However, Defendants will be permitted to rely for obviousness on the combination of a printed publication reference that was submitted by petitioner in the reexamination with prior art that was not so submitted. The Defendants further note that they will work with the Plaintiff in this matter to keep the Court apprised of developments in the reexamination which may impact the ordered stay. 2:06-CV-72 DF
