UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

SAN FRANCISCO DIVISION 

 WHEREAS, on June 25, 2010, Plaintiff and Counterclaim-Defendant Jaime Poris 

("Poris") served his Claim Chart Under Patent L.R. 3-1(c) as Exhibit A to Poris' Disclosure of 

Asserted Claims and Infringement Contentions ("6/25/2010 Infringement Contentions"); 

 WHEREAS, counsel for Poris and counsel for Defendant and Counterclaimant Novellus 

Systems, Inc. ("Novellus") met and conferred regarding Novellus' allegation that Poris' 

6/25/2010 Infringement Contentions are lacking the requisite specificity called for in Patent L.R. 

3-1(c) in connection with certain limitations of the asserted claim; 

JAIME PORIS, 

Plaintiff and Counterclaim-Defendant

 WHEREAS, the parties disagree as to the merit of Novellus' allegations, but Poris has 

agreed to voluntarily amend his 6/25/2010 Infringement Contentions in order to provide the 

additional specificity that Novellus seeks; 

 WHEREAS, Poris' proposed amendments are based, in part, on documents that Novellus 

has recently produced, which were not available to Poris at the time that Poris served his 

6/25/2010 Infringement Contentions; 

 WHEREAS, Novellus served its Invalidity Contentions under Patent L.R. 3-3 

("Invalidity Contentions") on August 9, 2010 (five days after first being provided with a copy of 

Poris' proposed amendments on August 4, 2010), and therefore did not have sufficient time to 

complete its review and analysis of Poris' proposed amendments before serving its Invalidity 

Contentions; 

 WHEREAS, Novellus and Poris agree that Novellus' allegation regarding the sufficiency 

of Poris' 6/25/2010 Infringement Contentions constitutes good cause for Poris to amend his 

Infringement Contentions; 

 WHEREAS, Novellus and Poris agree that Poris' amendment of his 6/25/2010 

Infringement Contentions constitutes good cause for Novellus to amend its Invalidity 

Contentions; 

 WHEREAS, such amendments shall not delay the schedule set in this case; 

 NOW, THEREFORE, the parties stipulate to the following: 

 (1) Poris may serve an amendment to his 6/25/2010 Infringement Contentions, 

entitled Poris’ First Amended Infringement Contentions, along with Poris First Amended Claim 

Chart under Patent L.R. 3-1(c) at Exhibit A thereto (which have been provided to Novellus in 

advance of this filing); and 

 (2) Novellus has the right to amend its Invalidity Contentions on or before August 27, 

2010 in response to Poris’ First Amended Infringement Contentions and Claim Chart.
