WHEREAS plaintiff FusionArc, Inc. commenced this action against defendant Solidus 

Networks, Inc. by filing a Complaint alleging that Solidus’ Pay By Touch and TrueMe products and/or 

services infringe U.S. Patent No. 6,928,546 (the “‘546 patent”); 

WHEREAS plaintiff has recently paid the Issue Fee in pending U.S. patent application Serial 

No. 11/153,221 (the “‘221 application”), which is a divisional application of the ‘546 patent, and 

expects a new patent based on the ‘221 application to issue in due course; 

WHEREAS plaintiff intends to allege that Solidus’ Pay By Touch and TrueMe products and/or 

services also infringe the new patent; 

WHEREAS, were plaintiff to file a separate complaint based on the new patent, the parties 

believe that such action would meet the requirements set forth in Civil Local Rule 3-12(a) for a related 

case; and, 

WHEREAS the parties to this action believe that it would be more efficient to permit the new 

patent to be made part of the instant case, rather than the subject of a separate action; 

THEREFORE, pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7-12, the parties agree and stipulate as follows: 

1. All discovery and motion practice in this action is hereby stayed until the issuance of the 

new patent, and the forthcoming dates set forth in the Joint Case Management Statements 

(docket nos. 23 & 25) and the February 16, 2007 Civil Minutes re: Case Management 

Conference (docket no. 24) are vacated; 

2. No later than seven (7) days after the issuance of the new patent, FusionArc shall deliver 

to counsel for Solidus a draft amended complaint containing a new cause of action for 

infringement of the new patent and a draft stipulation in accordance with Civil Local 

Rule 7-12 for an order granting FusionArc leave to file the proposed amended complaint; 

3. No later than five (5) days after receipt of the draft amended complaint and draft 

stipulation, Solidus shall either stipulate to allow FusionArc to file the pleading or shall 

initiate a meet and confer to identify the bases for its refusal to stipulate.
