Pursuant to LCR 10(g), Plaintiff Daimler AG (“Daimler”) and Defendant Amazon.com,
Inc. (“Amazon”) respectfully stipulate and jointly move the Court to amend the Order Setting Trial
Date and Related Deadlines (Dkt. No. 32) (“Scheduling Order”) by striking the Markman-related
deadlines in this case, as noted below.
The parties respectfully submit that good cause exists for the proposed amendments to the
schedule. In this case, Daimler asserts trademark-related and design-patent claims, but does not
assert any utility patent claims. This District’s Local Patent Rules accordingly do not apply as a
general matter. See Local Patent Rule 101 (patent rules apply to civil actions which involve utility
patents). The parties, after conferring, agree that given the scope of the case and fact that with
respect to the patent claims only design patents are at issue, formal infringement and invalidity
contentions and accompanying Markman deadlines are unnecessary.

To reduce the burden on the Court and the parties, Daimler and Amazon accordingly
2
request that the Court amend the case schedule by striking the deadlines for infringement and
3
invalidity contentions, Markman-expert reports, claim construction exchanges and briefing, and
4
the Markman hearing. The parties agree that they will set out their respective positions on
5
infringement and invalidity in discovery responses in accordance with the case schedule. No other
6
dates in the Scheduling Order would be modified and the parties’ request would not result in an
7
extension of the overall case schedule or trial date.

A proposed amended case schedule is set forth below.
