`
`
`their undersigned counsel, hereby stipulate, subject to the approval of the Court, that
`
`the deadline for the Court to hear Motions to Amend Pleadings/Add Parties be
`
`amended as set forth below case schedule set forth in the Order Re: Jury/Court Trial
`
`(Dkt. 54) shall be amended as set forth below:

`Pleadings/Add Parties [Friday]
`
`Current Date
`5/28/2020
`
`Amended Date
`8/28/2020
`
`This is the Parties’ second request for an extension of deadlines. Previously,
`
`the Parties asked for a one-day extension to file their Opening Claim Construction
`
`Briefs. Dkt. No. 72. The Court granted that request on June 24, 2020. Dkt. No. 72.
`
`The Parties submit that there is good cause for the requested extension. Garmin
`
`did not delay in seeking amendment. Garmin discovered the underlying facts
`
`regarding the inequitable conduct claim when finalizing its invalidity contentions.
`
`One week after serving its invalidity contentions, Garmin disclosed to Philips that it
`
`intended to amend its pleading to add a counterclaim for inequitable conduct. Philips
`
`responded that it would oppose such amendment on May 18, 2020, and the Parties met
`
`and conferred regarding Garmin’s motion to amend on May 21, 2020 pursuant to L.R.
`
`7-3. During the meet-and-confer on May 21, 2020, counsel for Philips stated that
`
`Philips did not oppose the amendment as untimely, but did intend to oppose on
`
`grounds of futility. However, in order to further assess such opposition, counsel for
`
`Garmin agreed to provide the amended pleading to counsel for Philips for review.

`

`

`Case 2:19-cv-06301-AB-KS Document 78 Filed 07/09/20 Page 3 of 4 Page ID #:2196
`
`
`After such review, counsel for Philips confirmed its above-stated position.
`
`During the negotiations regarding this stipulation, counsel for Philips further
`
`stated its intention make a motion to dismiss in the alternative alongside its opposition
`
`to Garmin’s motion to amend. While Garmin does not believe that such a motion
`
`would be procedurally proper, Garmin contends that its inequitable conduct claim is
`
`well-taken under either motion, and as such, has agreed to Philips’ desired procedure
`
`as a professional courtesy and to avoid unnecessary motion practice pertaining to
`
`Philips’ requested procedure. Therefore, the Parties agree to account for Philips’
`
`anticipated motion to dismiss in the briefing schedule, such that the parties will set a
`
`single hearing date (on or prior to August 28, 2020) for Garmin’s motion to amend
`
`and Philips’ alternative motion to dismiss. The Parties further agree to the following
`
`briefing schedule:
`
`Motion to Amend – 35 days prior to hearing
`Response to Motion to Amend/Motion to Dismiss – 28 days prior to hearing
`Reply to Motion to Amend/Response to Motion to Dismiss – 21 days prior to
`hearing
`Reply to Motion to Dismiss – 14 days prior to hearing
`
`Accordingly, the Parties respectfully request that the Court amend the deadline
`
`for the Court to hear motions to amend pleadings, as such extension of time will allow
`
`for the parties to brief Garmin’s motion to amend and Philips’ anticipated motion to
`
`dismiss, which will be set for a single hearing date. All other dates in the case schedule
`
`shall remain unchanged.
