their respective counsel, respectfully submit this Joint Stipulation to Extend Claim 

Construction Briefing. 

On October 7, 2014, the Court originally set deadlines for claim construction. Dkt. 

122. On January 13, 2015, the Court modified the schedule to set the following deadlines: 

Dkt. 152. 

Claim Construction Opening Brief: February 23, 2015 

Claim Construction Opposition Brief: March 9, 2015 

Claim Construction Reply Brief: March 16,2015 

Tutorial: Apri13, 2015 (2:30 p.m.) 

Claim Construction Hearing: April13, 2015 (2:30 p.m.) 

The parties bring this joint stipulation to extend those dates because of the pending 

motion by Cisco Systems Inc. to stay these consolidated cases pending the Patent and 

Trademark Office's decision to institute inter partes review ("IPR") proceedings on the 

patents-in-suit. Dkt. 161; 164. Cisco's motion is currently set for hearing on March 12, 

2015. Dkt. 163. 

Good cause exists to postpone claim construction briefing until after the decision on 

Cisco's motion to stay because of the interest in judicial efficiency and economy. As the 

schedule currently stands, the briefing schedule for Claim Construction overlaps with the 

briefing schedule for Cisco's motion to stay. If the Court grants Cisco's motion, in light of 

the pending IPR proceeding, the Claim Construction briefing and subsequent tutorial and 

hearing will become moot. If the Court denies Cisco's motion, the parties may resume 

Claim Construction briefing without any additional effect to the case schedule. 

Based on calendar dates, the parties request that the Court grant an order amending 

the upcoming claim construction deadlines as follows: 

Claim Construction Opening Brief: March 26, 2015 

Claim Construction Opposition Brief: April 9, 2015 

Claim Construction Reply Brief: Apri116, 2015 

The movants further request that the tutorial scheduled for April 3, 2015, and the claim 

construction hearing set for April 13, 2015, be vacated and reset depending on the court's 

convenience. No deadlines have been set in this case beyond the claim construction
