Case Nos. 3:16-CV-03716-

WHO & 3:16-CV-00506-WHO

 JOINT STIPULATED REQUEST 

 AND ORDER

To accommodate the schedule of SRAM’s counsel, Plaintiff FOX Factory, Inc. (“FOX 

Factory”) and Defendant SRAM, LLC (“SRAM”) respectfully stipulate, with the Court’s 

permission, to continue certain dates in the Court’s case schedule as provided below. 

 In response to the Court’s recent Order denying the parties’ prior proposed amended 

schedule and directing the parties to further meet and confer (Dkt. 50 in Case 3:16-cv-00506-WHO, 

at 4), counsel further met and conferred and jointly communicated with Ms. Davis by email 

regarding scheduling. The net result is that Ms. Davis has advised that the Court is available for 

tutorial and claim construction hearings on September 22 and 29, 2017, respectively, and these are 

the first dates offered by the Court that are also available to both parties. To accommodate this 

proposed change, and mindful of the Court’s requirement that there be at least three months between 

the dispositive motions hearing date and trial (id.), the parties respectfully propose the amended case 

schedule below. 

In view of the proposed continued dates for the tutorial and claim construction hearings, the 

parties’ proposal would extend various dates by generally corresponding amounts, including the 

dates for the close of fact discovery and the exchange of expert reports. The parties’ proposal would 

allow at least three months between the proposed date for hearings on dispositive motions and the 

first proposed trial date. In light of the proposed revised schedule, the parties also propose that each 

party have an additional week to file the opposition and reply claim construction briefs, which 

briefing would be complete more than three months before the proposed tutorial and claim 

construction hearing dates. 

More specifically, the parties stipulate and respectfully request that the Court modify the 

following dates in the case schedule as provided below (all other dates in the Court’s schedule to 

remain unchanged):
