Case No. C07-01587-JL

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER RE 

ADR PROCEDURES

 The parties jointly stipulate to and request that this case be removed from the ADR 

program until the evidentiary hearing on the issue of inventorship is completed in early June 2008. 

Counsel for the parties have discussed whether this case would benefit from mediation or other 

ADR procedures at this time. In light of the fact that the parties agree that the issue of 

inventorship can only be resolved through a judicial finding after an evidentiary hearing, any ADR 

proceeding should be continued until after such a hearing is completed. A proposed order 

removing this action from the ADR program is set forth below.
