SCHEDULING ORDER AND [PROPOSED] ORDER

BOSTON 2296958v1

and (b) the time for filing Joint Pretrial Statement. Specifically, the parties propose that the July 

6, 2004 Scheduling Order be modified as follows: 

Current Schedule Proposed Schedule

Meet and Confer for Pretrial 

Conference – Deadline May 27, 2005 July 8, 2005 

Joint Pretrial Statement June 8, 2005 July 19, 2005 

Pursuant to L.R. 6-2, the reasons for the requested modification are set forth below: 

1. Given Court’s recent Order re Motions for Summary Judgment and Supplemental 

Claim Construction and the outstanding expert discovery, the parties have met and conferred and 

agree that it would be more productive to meet and confer and to file the Joint Pretrial Statement 

at a later time.

2. The proposed schedule complies with the Court's November 14, 2003 Case 

Management and Pretrial Order, which requires parties to meet and confer for pretrial conference 

no less than forty calendar days prior to the pretrial conference and to file a joint pretrial 

statement no less than thirty calendar days prior to the pretrial conference. 

3. The parties have sought five previous extensions of the Scheduling Order.

4. The requested modification will have minimal effect on the schedule of this case. 

The pretrial conference date and trial date are not affected by this stipulation.
