WI-LAN INC., TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON, ERICSSON INC.,
SONY MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS AB, AND SONY MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS
(USA) INC.’S UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE REPLY
IN SUPPORT OF THEIR JOINT MOTION TO SEAL CERTAIN TRIAL EXHIBITS

Plaintiff Wi-LAN Inc., and Defendants Ericsson Inc., Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson,
Sony Mobile Communications (USA) Inc., and Sony Mobile Communications AB (collectively,
“Movants”) respectfully move the Court to extend the time for Movants to reply to AlcatelLucent and HTC’s Opposition (Dkt. No. 495) to Movants’ Joint Motion to Seal Certain Trial
Exhibits (Dkt. No. 485) through and including October 4, 2013. The HTC Defendants do not
oppose this request. In support of this motion, Movants would show as follows:
Following trial, Movants filed a motion to seal a limited number of sensitive trial
exhibits. (Dkt. No. 485.) Only Alcatel-Lucent and the HTC defendants opposed Movants’
motion, and only in part with regard to a subset of exhibits. By stipulation dated September 17,
2013, and pursuant to the Court’s Order dated September 18, 2013, Alcatel-Lucent withdrew its
opposition to Movants’ Motion. (Dkt. Nos. 499, 500.)

Subsequently, on September 18, 2013, Wi-LAN announced that Wi-LAN and HTC have
reached an agreement to resolve all pending litigations between them. Wi-LAN expects that
HTC and Wi-LAN will file dismissal papers, including a withdrawal of HTC’s opposition to
Movants’ Motion, in the near future.

Accordingly, Movants respectfully request a brief

extension of time to determine to what extent, if any, the Motion remains opposed.1
Movants seek this extension of time not for delay but for good cause and that justice may
be served. WHEREFORE, for good cause shown, Movants respectfully request that the time to
reply to Defendants’ Opposition (Dkt. No. 495) be extended through and including Friday,
October 4, 2013.

Dated: September 20, 2013

Although Alcatel-Lucent does not oppose Movants’ motion and Wi-LAN expects HTC
to withdraw its opposition shortly, Movants would be happy to respond to the withdrawn
opposition should the Court so desire.
