STIPULATION AND ORDER REGARDING DEADLINE

TO ANSWER COMPLAINT AND CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE Case No. 16-cv-00918-WHO

WHEREAS, on February 24, 2016, Plaintiff Inventergy, Inc. (“Inventergy”) filed the abovereferenced action alleging that Defendant Sonus Networks, Inc. (“Sonus”) has infringed U.S. Patent 

No. 7,881,317; 

WHEREAS, Sonus’ deadline to answer the Complaint is May 2, 2016;

WHEREAS, the parties have agreed to extend Sonus’ deadline to answer the Complaint by 

two weeks, to May 16, 2016;

WHEREAS, the Court has scheduled a case management conference for June 7, 2016, at 

2:00 p.m.;

WHEREAS, on January 23, 2015, Sonus filed an action, captioned Sonus Networks, Inc. v. 

Inventergy, Inc., No. 3:15-cv-000322-EMC, which is currently pending before the Honorable 

Edward M. Chen; 

WHEREAS, the parties believe that the two above-referenced actions should be related 

because (1) they involve substantially the same parties, property, transactions and events; and (2) it 

appears likely that there will be an unduly burdensome duplication of labor and expense or 

conflicting results if the cases are conducted before different judges;

WHEREAS, Sonus is filing today with Judge Chen an Unopposed Administrative Motion to 

Consider Whether Cases are Related; 

IT IS ACCORDINGLY STIPULATED, by and between the parties hereto, that: 

1. Sonus’ deadline to answer the Complaint be extended to May 16, 2016; and

2. The case management conference in this action, currently scheduled for June 

7, 2016, at 2:00 p.m., be postponed pending a decision by Judge Chen on 

Sonus’ Unopposed Administrative Motion to Consider Whether Cases are 

Related.
