STIPULATION TO EXTEND TIME TO RESPOND

US 167460346v2

Pursuant to Northern District of California Local Rules 6-1(b), 6-2, and 7-12 Defendants 

BGI Americas Corp., MGI Tech Co., Ltd., MGI Americas, Inc., and Complete Genomics, Inc. 

(“Defendants”)1and Illumina, Inc. and Illumina Cambridge Ltd. (“Plaintiffs”) (collectively, “the 

Parties”) jointly stipulate to extend the time for Defendants to file an opposition brief in response to 

Plaintiffs’ Motion for Preliminary Injunction (“Motion”) (D.N. 85).

WHEREAS, Defendants currently have until March 4, 2020, to respond to the Motion;

WHEREAS, Defendants have requested an eight-week extension, until April 29, 2020, to file 

their opposition to the Motion and contend that an extension of time is necessary to permit sufficient 

time for: (a) Illumina to respond to Defendants’ previously served Requests for Production 

(“RFPs”) that are relevant to the Motion (including, but not limited to, RFPs 6-8, 15-20, 25-34, and 

36-40); (b) Defendants to serve and Illumina to respond to a small number of additional discovery 

requests; (c) disclosure of additional experts and time for Illumina to oppose their access to 

confidential information; (d) preparation of expert declarations; (e) depositions of Illumina’s 

declarants and potentially other individuals identified in the discovery process; and (f) to complete 

the claim construction process prior the filing of the opposition; 

WHEREAS, by entering into this agreement Plaintiffs are not agreeing that the additional 

time is necessary nor that the above-referenced activity with experts, discovery and claim 

construction is warranted;

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs agree to the requested extension of time for Defendants to file an 

opposition to the Motion on the condition that Defendants agree to refrain from transferring or 

distributing sequencing reagent kits containing the currently accused fluorescently labeled 

nucleotides to third parties in the United States until the Court resolves the Motion and on the 

condition that this agreement will not be used to argue or suggest that Illumina has acquiesced at all 

to any of Defendants’ commercial activity; 

WHEREAS, there has been one previous extension to a deadline; the Court permitted 

Defendants additional time to respond to the Complaint (D.N. 17); and 

1 BGI Genomics Co., Ltd. has not been served with the Complaint in this action, and therefore takes 

no part in this filing.

STIPULATION TO EXTEND TIME TO RESPOND

US 167460346v2

WHEREAS, the additional time to respond to the Motion will not alter the date of any event 

or any deadline already fixed by Court order.

Now therefore, the Parties, through the undersigned counsel, hereby stipulate as follows:

1. The deadline for filing an opposition to Plaintiffs’ Motion be extended to April 29, 2020;

2. Defendants shall refrain from transferring or distributing sequencing reagent kits 

containing the currently accused fluorescently labeled nucleotides to third parties in the United 

States until the Court resolves the Motion;

3. The hearing date for the Motion of March 25, 2020 shall be vacated;

4. No later than 3 days after Defendants file their opposition to the Motion, the Parties shall 

meet and confer and file a proposed date for Plaintiffs’ to file a reply brief and a proposed hearing 

date, subject to the convenience of the Court. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
