`
`STIPULATION AND ORDER TO
`EXTEND DEADLINE TO FILE
`JOINT STATUS REPORT
`
`Plaintiff Voip-Pal.com, Inc. (“Plaintiff” or “Voip-Pal”) and Defendant Apple, Inc.
`
`(“Defendant” or “Apple”), through undersigned counsel, stipulate and request the Court to continue
`
`the deadline to file a Joint Status Report from December 12, 2017 to January 26, 2018.
`
`1.
`
`On February 9, 2016, VoIP-Pal filed this action against Apple alleging infringement
`
`of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,542,815 (the “‘815 patent”) and 9,179,005 (the “‘005 patent”). (ECF No. 1).
`
`2.
`
`On May 5, 2016, this Court entered an order extending the time for Apple to answer
`
`the complaint until July 29, 2016. (ECF No. 13);
`
`3.
`
`On June 15, 2016, Apple filed a petition with the PTAB to institute IPR proceedings
`
`on the asserted claims of the ’815 patent. (See ECF No. 24 at ¶ 3.) Apple also petitioned the PTAB
`
`to institute IPR proceedings on the asserted claims of the ’005 patent. (See id.);

`
`4.
`
`On July 19, 2016, the parties filed a stipulation and proposed order seeking a stay of
`
`this litigation pending the PTAB’s decisions on whether to institute IPR on the ’815 and ’005
`
`patents. (ECF No. 24);
`
`5.
`
`On July 20, 2016, this Court granted the parties’ stipulation, ordering a stay of this
`
`litigation pending the Court’s review of a Joint Status Report outlining the parties’ respective
`
`positions on how the case should proceed in light of the PTAB’s institution decisions. (ECF No.
`
`25);
`
`6.
`
`On November 21, 2016, the PTAB instituted IPR on all asserted claims of the ’815
`
`patent. (Decision, Institution of Inter Partes Review of United States Patent No. 8,542,815, Apple
`
`Inc. v. VoIP-Pal.com, Inc., IPR2016-01201 (P.T.A.B. Nov. 21, 2016) at 32);
`
`7.
`
`Likewise, on November 21, 2016, the PTAB instituted IPR on all asserted claims of
`
`the ’005 patent. (Decision, Institution of Inter Partes Review of United States Patent No. 9,179,005,
`
`Apple Inc. v. VoIP-Pal.com, Inc., IPR2016-01198 (P.T.A.B. Nov. 21, 2016) at 31);
`
`8.
`
`By statute, the PTAB must issue final written decisions in the ’815 patent and ’005
`
`patent IPR proceedings no later than November 21, 2017. 35 U.S.C. § 316(a)(11);
`
`9.
`
`On November 20, 2017, the PTAB issued final written decisions denying Apple’s
`
`challenged claims in the ’815 patent and ’005 patent IPR proceedings (IPR2016-01201 and IPR2016-
`
`01198). Additionally, the PTAB denied institution of IPRs for five other petitions filed against the
`
`‘815 and ‘005 patents, namely, three IPR petitions filed by AT&T (IPR2017-01382, IPR2017-01383,
`
`and IPR2017-01384), and two follow-on petitions filed by Apple (IPR2017-01398 and IPR2017-
`
`01399).
`
`10.
`
`A joint status report is due in a similar case before this Court in Voip-Pal.com, Inc., v.
`
`Twitter, Inc., Case No. 2:16-cv-2338 on January 26, 2017. Because of the similarity of issues and
`
`procedural history involving the two cases, the parties desire to extend the deadline to file their joint
