`
`UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
`EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA
`ALEXANDRIA DIVISION
`
`
`
`
`GEOSCOPE TECHNOLOGIES PTE. LTD.,
`
`
`
`v.
`
`
`GOOGLE LLC,
`
`
`Plaintiff,
`
`Defendant,
`
`Case No. 1:22-cv-01331-MSN-JFA
`
`
`
`
`
`CONSENT MOTION TO EXTEND THE SCHEDULE FOR FILING
`APPLICATIONS FOR AWARDS OF COSTS AND FEES
`
`Defendant, Google LLC (“Google”), with the consent of Geoscope Technologies Pte. Ltd.
`
`(“Geoscope”), moves the Court to enter an order extending the schedule for filing applications for
`
`an award of taxable costs and an award of reasonable attorneys’ fees on the following grounds:
`
`1.
`
`This is an action for patent infringement. The Court has now entered orders
`
`dismissing all the claims asserted against Google (Dkt. Nos. 118, 119, & 121).
`
`2.
`
`Under the rules of court, Google, as the prevailing party, may apply for an award
`
`of taxable costs. Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(d)(1). The bill of costs application is due “within fourteen (14)
`
`days from the entry of judgment, unless such time is extended by order of the Court.” E.D. Va.
`
`Civ. R. 54(D)(1).
`
`3.
`
`Under the Patent Act, reasonable attorneys’ fees may be awarded to the prevailing
`
`party in an “exceptional” case. 35 U.S.C. § 285. An application for an award of reasonable
`
`attorneys’ fees is due “no later than 14 days after the entry of judgment,” “[u]nless … a court order
`
`provides otherwise.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(d)(2)(B)(i).

`
`Case 1:22-cv-01331-MSN-JFA Document 124 Filed 09/28/23 Page 2 of 4 PageID# 2220
`
`4.
`
`The parties have met and conferred to discuss the schedule for these filings. The
`
`parties agree that extending the due dates for filing applications for awards of fees and costs is
`
`warranted to conserve party and judicial resources.
`
`5.
`
`Therefore, Google requests that the schedule for these filings be extended until 30
`
`days after the deadline to file a notice of appeal has passed, or 30 days after the mandate from the
`
`Federal Circuit has issued in any appeal, whichever date is later.
`
`6.
`
`Geoscope consents to the scheduling relief Google seeks in this motion.
`
`The parties waive a hearing on this procedural motion.
`
`WHEREFORE, Google, with the consent of Geoscope, requests that this Court enter an
`
`order extending the schedule for Google’s applications for awards of fees and costs. A proposed
`
`order is submitted herewith.
