`

`Case 3:14-cv-02235-DMS-BLM Document 119 Filed 05/31/17 PageID.2618 Page 2 of 4
`
`
`
`On May 15, 2017, Wi-LAN served Amended Infringement Contentions adding:
`
`(i) additional accused products that were released during the two-year stay of this
`
`litigation; (ii) seven additional asserted independent (and dependent) claims for the
`
`already-asserted patents; and (iii) adding U.S. Patent 8,311,040 (“’040 patent”) which was
`
`at
`
`issue
`
`in
`
`the prior
`
`litigation, Wi-LAN v. Apple, 3:13-cv-0798.
`
` Wi-LAN
`
`contemporaneously served a First Amended Answer adding the ’040 patent and filed Wi-
`
`LAN’s Motion to Modify the Scheduling Order and Granting Leave to File a First
`
`Amended Answer (Dkt. 117) (“Wi-LAN’s Motion to Amend”). In its Motion to Amend,
`
`Wi-LAN seeks to modify the deadline to serve amended pleadings so that it may file its
`
`First Amended Answer.
`
`Apple has agreed to not oppose Wi-LAN’s Motion to Amend,1 in exchange for an
`
`additional two weeks to prepare its Invalidity Contentions to address the additional claims
`
`and patent asserted by Wi-LAN.
`
`Accordingly, the parties jointly move the Court for an Order granting Wi-LAN’s
`
`Motion to Amend the deadline to serve amended pleadings and modifying the Scheduling
`
`Order (Dkt. 116) to provide Defendant Apple with an additional two weeks to prepare its
`
`Invalidity Contentions.2 Subsequent dates leading up to the Claim Construction Hearing
`
`on October 30, 2017 have been adjusted below. The proposed amended deadlines do not
`
`impact the Court’s Claim Construction Hearing date.

`1 Apple reserves all defenses and rights, including the right to respond under Federal Rule
`of Civil Procedure 12(b), (c), (e), or (f), with respect to Wi-LAN’s First Amended
`Answer.
`2 With respect to Apple’s production under Patent Local Rule 3-4(a) of source code and
`other technical documentation related to the Accused Instrumentalities, Apple has agreed
`to take reasonable efforts to produce what it can by the current deadline of June 15, 2017,
`and the rest by the proposed amended Invalidity Contentions deadline.

`
`
`
`Good cause exists because granting this motion will relieve the Court of
`
`unnecessary motion practice with respect to Wi-LAN Motion to Amend without
`
`impacting the Court’s Claim Construction Hearing date or the scheduled trial date. See
`
`Dkt. 117-1 at 5-7.
