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 three prior art references—U.S. Patent Nos. 4,574,011 (“Bonjour”) and 4,606,767 

(“Nagato”), and Great Britain Patent No. 2,081,741 (“Shibata”)—that C&C asserts are 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 above referenced patents). C&C’s ongoing search for references recently led to 

the discovery of Bonjour, Nagato, and Shibata; due to certain nuaces of these disclosures and of the 

prosecution history, they were not previously discovered by C&C search professionals. 

C&C advised West of its recent discovery of these prior art references, and by and through this 

stipulation, West agrees that C&C should be permitted to amend its contentions to add contentions 

related to these prior art references. Furthermore, 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:
