1 STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER REGARDING SCHEDULE 

CASE NO. C 06-05958 JW (PVT)

Pursuant to its September 13, 2007, Order, the Court has scheduled a Status Conference in 

this action on October 22, 2007, at 10:00 a.m., and ordered the parties to file a Joint Status Statement 

10 days in advance of the Status Conference, which would be due on October 8, 2007. Counsel for 

Defendant Affymetrix, Inc. has requested a stipulated one-week continuance of the Status 

Conference to allow Affymetrix to report in the Joint Status Statement on the outcome of a 

scheduling conference on October 10, 2007, in another litigation in the District of Delaware whose 

trial date—which will likely be determined at the scheduling conference—may impact the schedule 

of this case. Counsel for Plaintiff Agilent Technologies, Inc. agreed. Accordingly, by their 

signatures below, and with the Court’s permission, counsel for both parties in this action stipulate to 

continue the Status Conference until October 29, 2007, at 10:00 a.m., and to file the Joint Status 

Statement by October 15, 2007. 

Furthermore, as discussed at the interim case management conference on June 11, 2007, and 

as scheduled in its June 11, 2007, Order After Hearing, the Court scheduled the claim 

construction/written description hearing on November 16, 2007, at 9:00 a.m. In view of the Court’s 

recent September 13, 2007, Order and the forthcoming Status Conference in this action, Counsel for 

both parties respectfully request that the hearing date be vacated and rescheduled for a date and time 

to be determined at the Status Conference on October 29. Accordingly, by their signatures below, 

and with the Court’s permission, counsel for both parties in this action stipulate to vacate the hearing 

date now scheduled for November 16, 2007, and to reschedule for a date to be determined at the 

October 29 Status Conference. 

Finally, in the December 19, 2006, Stipulation and Order Selecting ADR Process, the parties 

agreed to hold a mediation by October 1, 2007. In light of the forthcoming October Status 

Conference and the parties’ request to vacate the November 16 hearing date, counsel for both parties 

respectfully request that the deadline to hold the mediation be extended until May 1, 2008. 

Accordingly, by their signatures below, and with the Court’s permission, counsel for both parties in 

this action stipulate to extend the mediation deadline from October 1, 2007, until May 1, 2008.
