- 2 - STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER REGARDING 

PRETRIAL EXCHANGES FOR THE BENCH TRIAL

Case No. 3:13-cv-02965 MMC (DMR) 

7/11/2016 Both File motions in limine, if any.

7/18/2016 Both File oppositions to motions in limine, if any. 

Exchange Pre-Stamped Exhibits. 

7/25/2016 Both Bench Trial Begins

2. To the extent a document to be used as an exhibit at the Bench Trial was 

previously marked either for identification or as a trial exhibit, the same exhibit number will be 

used. Since these exhibits have already been exchanged, it will not be necessary to exchange a 

copy of the Pre-Stamped Exhibit for these previously exhibits. The parties will mutually agree 

upon a reasonable method for marking any exhibits not previously marked, and copies of any 

such Pre-Stamped Exhibits will be exchanged in accordance with the schedule set forth above. 

The parties further agree that the record from the jury trial held February 22, 2016 – March 8, 

2016, will be considered as part of the record for the Bench Trial. 

4. The exchange of exhibit lists and deposition designations contemplated above will 

include where appropriate the exchange of native versions of the lists (i.e., excel or word 

document) to facilitate objections and meeting and conferring to resolve those objections. To 

facilitate review of the exhibit list, the Parties agree that, in addition to the columns set out in 

ECF No. 174, the exchanged exhibit lists will include columns for Beg Bates and End Bates for 

any document not previously marked either for identification or as a trial exhibit. For the 

convenience of the Parties, the Parties agree to exchange searchable PDF versions of any exhibits 

not previously marked for identification or as a trial exhibit (or native files as appropriate), in lieu 

of the printed copies called for in ECF No. 174. The parties will mutually cooperate to ensure 

that legible copies of any exhibits intended to be used at the bench trial are exchanged in advance, 

and by July 18, 2015. Each party will provide two sets of printed copies of the exhibits it intends 

to use at the Bench Trial to the Court on the first day of trial, as required by ECF No. 174. 

5. The Parties will indicate which witnesses it intends to call live and which 

witnesses it intends to call by deposition in accordance with the schedule set forth above, and will 

provide any changes to this determination by July 18, 2016. The Parties further agree, however, 

that should the need thereafter arise (e.g., a witness becomes unavailable) the Parties will not be

PRETRIAL EXCHANGES FOR THE BENCH TRIAL

Case No. 3:13-cv-02965 MMC (DMR) 

prohibited from later preparing deposition designations for that witness if appropriate. The 

parties will exchange deposition designations only for those witnesses they actually plan to 

submit to the Court for consideration, according to the schedule outlined above. The parties will 

present to the Court excerpted transcripts annotating the designations, counter-designations, and 

any objections. Should the Court wish the parties to present video deposition testimony at the 

trial, the parties will meet and confer on a procedure to prepare the video clips. 

6. The parties will exchange demonstratives to be used in opening statements or 

initial statements to the Court on the first day of trial by no later than 5:30 p.m. on July 22, 2016. 

To the extent there are objections, the parties will meet and confer in an effort to resolve those 

objections by 12:00 p.m. on July 23, 2016. 

7. By 5:30 pm on July 20, 2016, ATopTech will disclose the order of its witnesses 

and any exhibits, including demonstrative exhibits, to be used with each witness disclosed 

pursuant to paragraph 1. By 5:30 pm on July 21, 2016, Synopsys will provide any objections to 

those exhibits and will disclose any cross exhibits for use with ATopTech’s witnesses. By 5:30 

pm on July 21, 2016, Synopsys will disclose the order of its witnesses and any exhibits, including 

demonstrative exhibits, to be used with each witness disclosed pursuant to paragraph 1. By 5:30 

pm on July 22, 2016, ATopTech will provide any objections to those exhibits and will disclose 

any cross exhibits for use with Synopsys’s witnesses. To the extent there are objections, the 

parties will meet and confer in an effort to resolve those objections by 12:00 p.m. on July 23, 

2016. 

8. Any demonstratives will be provided to opposing counsel as a color copy in PDF 

form. If a demonstrative contains video, animations, or “builds,” they will be provided to 

opposing counsel on DVD, CD, thumb drive, or FTP. If good faith efforts to resolve objections 

to demonstratives fail, the objecting party shall bring any outstanding objections to the Court’s 

attention prior to use of the demonstratives.

9. The parties will identify the witnesses it intends to call, as well as the exhibits and 

demonstratives to be used in connection with the testimony of those witnesses in accordance with 

the schedule set forth in paragraphs 1 and 7 above and will meet and confer with respect to any
