`
`Good cause exists for this request because this brief extension of time will allow the
`
`Private Parties to provide more complete contention disclosures in light of certain third-party
`
`discovery that is still outstanding. For example, there are currently 17 outstanding third-party
`
`subpoenas in this investigation.1 The need to obtain relevant documents from third-parties
`
`
`1 Sony has served third-party subpoenas on MediaTek USA Inc., MediaTek Inc.,
`Qualcomm Inc., Broadcom Corp., The University of New Hampshire Interoperability
`Laboratory, DirecTV, LLC, and Jethead Development, Inc. ARRIS has served third-party
`subpoenas on RVU Alliance, Wi-Fi Alliance, Cisco Systems, Inc., Sigma Designs, Inc.,
`
`2
`
`
`
`constitutes the requisite good cause for extending deadlines pertaining to fact discovery. See
`
`Certain Pers. Data & Mobile Commc’ns Devices & Related Software, USITC Inv. No. 337-TA-
`
`710, Order No. 36, 2010 WL 4790249, at *1 (Nov. 3, 2010) (granting request to extend the
`
`deadlines for fact discovery, motions to compel, and depositions to accommodate third-party
`
`discovery); Certain Pers. Computers, Server Computers, & Components Thereof, USITC Inv.
`
`No. 337-TA-509, Order No. 29, 2005 WL 547373, at *1 (Mar. 3, 2005) (granting motion for an
`
`enlargement of time for fact discovery to accommodate third-party discovery); Certain Pers.
`
`Computers, Monitors and Components Thereof, USITC Inv. No. 337-TA-519, Order No. 25,
`
`2005 WL 716655, at *1 (Mar. 25, 2005) (granting motion for a limited extension to the close of
`
`fact discovery to accommodate third-party discovery). Neither the Private Parties nor the public
`
`interest will suffer any prejudice in light of the requested extension, and the remainder of the
`
`Procedural Schedule will be unaffected.
`
`Based on the foregoing, the Private Parties submit that good cause exists to extend the
`
`deadlines for the above due dates, as requested herein.
