Plaintiff Wi-LAN Inc. (“Wi-LAN”) and Defendants Alcatel-Lucent USA Inc.,
Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson, Ericsson Inc., Sony Mobile Communications AB, Sony

Defendant Alcatel-Lucent and Wi-LAN have agreed to extend the date for AlcatelLucent’s responsive expert report concerning infringement to October 26, 2012. Wi-LAN
has agreed to extend the date for all Defendants’ expert reports on damages to November 2,

responsive expert report concerning validity to October 26, 2012 and (b) extend the time to
