Civil Action No. 6:09-CV-00446-LED

JURY TRIAL

PLAINTIFF EOLAS’ UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR TWO EXTRA PAGES TO
RESPOND TO DEFENDANTS’ REPLIES

The Local Rules of this Court set the page limits for briefing on dispositive and nondispositive motions. L.R. CV-7. This Court has zealously enforced those page limits in this case
and others. See e.g. dkt. 323 (denying unopposed motion for extra pages). Eolas contends that
in their Reply briefs (e.g. dkt. nos. 1018-1022) Defendants have employed various tactics to
obtain extra briefing. In order to equalize the briefing of the parties, Eolas requests two extra
pages of briefing for its Sur Replies. Defendants do not oppose the relief sought in this motion,
but they do strongly disagree with the characterization of their actions.
In Defendants’ Reply in Support of Their Motion for Summary Judgment of Invalidity
Under Section 102(B) (dkt. 1018), Defendants submitted a six-page declaration. In response to
Eolas’ complaints about the declaration, Defendants filed a motion to substitute the six-page
version with a two-page version, which was granted. See dkt. 1040. Defendants’ Reply in
Support of Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment of No Enhanced Damages for Willful
Infringement (dkt. 1020) employed long footnotes with less than 12-point font, as did certain
other Defendants’ replies

See dkt. nos. 1019-1022.

Eolas believes that Defendants have

effectively had additional briefing and, in fairness, Eolas seeks an additional two pages to
respond.
Eolas respectfully requests that it be granted two extra pages of briefing for its Sur
Replies.

These two extra pages will effectively equalize the briefing between the parties.

Defendants do not oppose Eolas’ request for two extra pages.
For the reasons set forth herein, Eolas respectfully asks that the Court grant it two extra
pages of briefing for its Sur Replies.
