Jt. Request For Telephonic Scheduling Conference To Set Claim 

Construction Hearing Date 1 (#267716) 

On several occasions, the parties have attempted in good faith to resolve 

scheduling conflicts concerning the claim construction hearing date in this action, and have 

submitted stipulations proposing dates on which lead counsel for both parties were available. 

Those dates apparently did not work with the Court’s schedule, and the Court has set the hearing 

for alternative dates. Most recently, the Court set the claim construction hearing for June 8, 2007, 

a date on which, unfortunately, lead counsel for Micrus is scheduled to be out of the country for 

business that cannot be rescheduled. To better coordinate with the Court’s calendar and select a 

date for the claim construction hearing which is acceptable to the Court and on which lead trial 

counsel for both parties are available, the parties respectfully request a telephonic scheduling 

conference at the Court’s earliest convenience. Boston Scientific is available on June 8, 2007 as 

scheduled by the Court. While it is willing to attempt to accommodate conflicts in Micrus’s 

counsel’s schedule, Boston Scientific is concerned about any further delay of the claim 

construction hearing. 

In addition, during the teleconference, the parties further request clarification 

about the hearing process preferred by the Court. In particular, in light of the multiple tutorials 

the Court has already heard on the embolic coil technology at issue in this case in earlier pending 

litigations concerning the Boston Scientific patents-in-suit, the parties respectfully seek the 

Court’s guidance as to whether a tutorial before this claim construction hearing would benefit the 

Court, and whether the Court would like the parties’ experts present to testify at the claim 

construction hearing if those experts are available.
