`Case 1:12—cv—OO398—GMS Document 13 Filed 12/17/12 Page 1 of 3 Page|D #: 91
`
`IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
`
`FOR THE DISTRICT OF DELAWARE
`
`HUMANEYES TECHNOLOGIES LTD.
`
`Plaintiff
`
`v.
`
`CA. No. 12-398—GMS
`
`SONY CORPORATION, SONY
`CORPORATION OF AMERICA, SONY
`
`ELECTRONICS INC., SONY MOBILE
`COMMUNICATIONS AB, AND SONY
`
`MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS (USA)
`
`INC.,
`
`Defendants.
`
`DEFENDANTS’ RESPONSE TO PLAINTIFF HUMANEYES TECHNOLOGIES
`
`LTD.’S MOTION TO LIFT STAY AND SET A SCHEDULING CONFERENCE
`
`Defendants Sony Corporation, Sony Corporation of America, Sony Electronics Inc., Sony
`
`Mobile Communications AB, and Sony Mobile Communications (USA) Inc. (collectively
`
`“Sony” or “Defendants”) respectfully submit this response to Plaintiff HumanEyes Technologies
`
`Ltd.’s (“HumanEyes” or “Plaintiff’) Motion to Lift Stay and Set a Scheduling Conference (D.I.
`
`12).
`
`On May 16, 2012, the Court stayed this action pending resolution in ITC Investigation
`
`No. 337-TA—842. D.I. 10. Prior to the end of fact discovery and before any expert discovery or
`
`adjudication of any issues on the merits in that investigation, HumanEyes notified Sony that it
`
`intended to move to voluntarily dismiss the ITC complaint. The parties notified this Court of the
`
`termination of the ITC investigation on November 21, 2012 (D.I. 1 1), and HumanEyes thereafter
`
`moved to lift the stay and request a Rule 16 scheduling conference.

`Case 1:12-cv-00398-GMS Document 13 Filed 12/17/12 Page 2 of 3 PageID #: 92
`
`Sony does not oppose the lifting of the stay in this action. However, to the extent that
`
`Plaintiffs request for a Rule 16 scheduling conference imposes a burden on this Court and
`
`requires it to deviate from its normal scheduling practices, Sony does not join in that request. As
`
`to the length of discovery and timing of trial, Sony will address these issues in the Joint Status
`
`Report prior to the Rule 16 scheduling conference.
`
`As Sony has not yet responded to the complaint in this action, Sony respectfully requests
`
`that Sony’s response to the complaint in this action be due within 30 days of the date that the
`
`Court lifts the stay.
