UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS
TYLER DIVISION
EOLAS TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
Plaintiff,
Civil Action No. 6:09-CV-446 LED
v.
JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
ADOBE SYSTEMS, INC., ET AL.,
Defendants.

DEFENDANTS’ UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSIONS OF TIME TO FILE
AND RESPOND TO CERTAIN MOTIONS
Defendants Adobe Systems, Inc., Amazon.com, Inc., CDW LLC, Citigroup Inc., eBay
Inc., The Go Daddy Group, Inc., Google Inc., J.C. Penney Corp., Inc., Staples, Inc., Yahoo!
Inc., and YouTube, LLC (collectively “Defendants”) respectfully file the below unopposed
motion to extend the deadlines set forth below, and would show the Court as follows:
I.
Pursuant to the Docket Control Order entered by the Court on April 9, 2010 [Dkt. 249]
and the Court’s Order Granting Extension of Time to Meet Certain Deadlines [Dkt. 670],
Defendants have been working diligently towards the submission of dispositive motions. In
light of the substantial amount of discovery currently underway, the fact that initial expert
reports were served only in the second half of July 2011, and the lack of a claim-construction
order in this case, Defendants request (and Eolas does not oppose) an extension of time for
filing of, and response to, dispositive motions in this matter. In addition, in light of the facts set

forth above, the fact that the Court has extended the time for defendants Google Inc. and
YouTube, LLC to file Daubert motions related to Eolas’s damages expert report in this matter
[Docket No. 786], and for the avoidance of duplicative Daubert motions or portions thereof,
Defendants request (and Eolas does not oppose) an extension of time for filing of Daubert
motions in this matter so that all Daubert motions are due on the same day.
The parties have met and conferred and this Motion is unopposed. The parties
respectfully request that the Court extend the deadlines set forth below as indicated:

impact any other deadline applicable to this litigation.

provided above.
DATED: August 2, 2011
