STIPULATION TO AMEND PLAINTIFF C&C’S CASE NO. 5:09-CV-01303-JF-HRL 

INVALIDITY CONTENTIONS 

Declaratory Judgment Plaintiff, C&C Jewelry Manufacturing, Inc. (“C&C”) and Defendant 

Trent West (“West”), by and through their undersigned counsel of record, have agreed and stipulated to 

an amendment of C&C’s Patent L.R. 3-3 Invalidity Contentions under Patent L.R. 3-6. C&C recently 

discovered a prior art reference—U.S. Patent No. 2,126,737—that C&C asserts is material to the 

patentability of the patents asserted in this case. (By entering into this stipulation, West does not admit 

to the materiality of the 2,126,737 patent.) The prior art reference was dated from 1935 and therefore 

was not available in searchable text on the USPTO website. As a result, despite numerous searches, 

search professionals engaged by C&C were unable to, and did not, find this patent. C&C advised West 

of its recent discovery of this prior art reference, and by and through this stipulation, West agrees that 

C&C should be permitted to amend its contentions to add contentions related to this prior art reference. 

Furthermore, based upon the relatively early stage of this litigation, C&C and West agree that this 

amendment will cause no undue prejudice to West. 

Accordingly, C&C and West respectfully request that the Court issue an Order, for good 

cause shown, permitting C&C to amend its Invalidity Contentions in the manner requested above. 

Respectfully stipulated to by:
