1.

Software Rights Archive, LLC does not j o i n in Yahoo!'s request for an oral

hearing on the motion to transfer and does not think such a hearing is necessary, but is happy to appear and argue should the Court set a hearing. 2. SRA opposes the alternative request by Yahoo! for an extension o f the claim

construction-related deadlines. There is no logical relationship between the request for hearing and a delay o f the claim construction deadlines. Those actions will be required for claim

construction regardless o f venue, and there is no reason for delay. This is especially true since Defendants waited fifteen months to submit their motion to transfer, choosing to litigate the standing issue.
