JOINT STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER

TO MODIFY CASE DEADLINES PURSUANT TO CIVIL L.R. 6-2

STIPULATED MOTION TO MODIFY THE SCHEDULING ORDER 

Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 6-2, Plaintiff Twin Peaks Software Inc. (“Twin Peaks”) and 

Defendant International Business Machines Corporation (“IBM”), by and through their respective 

counsel of record hereby stipulate and request that the Court enter an order allowing the parties to 

take depositions relating to claim construction of third parties that have been duly noticed by IBM, 

Twin Peaks’ 30(b)(6) witness on claim construction issues, and the parties’ respective experts after 

August 14, 2015, the currently scheduled cut-off for claim construction discovery. (Dkt. No. 29.) 

In support of this request, the parties state as follows: 

WHEREAS, on January 7, 2015, the Court entered its scheduling order in this case, which 

set deadlines through the December 8, 2015 claim construction hearing, including a claim 

construction discovery cut-off on August 14, 2015 (Dkt. No. 29); 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the scheduling order, IBM timely served third party subpoenas 

seeking documents and testimony on the prosecuting attorneys of the patent-in-suit and their law 

firm on July 15, 2015, and a 30(b)(6) deposition notice on Twin Peaks regarding claim 

construction issues on July 21, 2015; 

WHEREAS, counsel for Twin Peaks is representing the prosecuting attorneys of the 

patent-in-suit and their law firm with regard to IBM’s third party subpoenas; 

WHEREAS, counsel for Twin Peaks and counsel for IBM met and conferred regarding the 

scheduling of the third party prosecuting attorney depositions and the 30(b)(6) deposition of Twin 

Peaks regarding claim construction, and counsel for both parties agreed that, due to the schedules 

of both the witnesses and Twin Peaks’ counsel, these depositions would be held after August 14, 

2015 but before the September 30, 2015 deadline for Twin Peaks’ opening claim construction 

brief; 

WHEREAS, counsel for both parties have further agreed that IBM will not be precluded or 

restricted from later deposing any witness Twin Peaks offers in response to IBM’s 30(b)(6) notice 

on claim construction issues on other 30(b)(6) topics or individually;

-2- CASE NO. 3:14-cv-03933-JST

JOINT STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER

TO MODIFY CASE DEADLINES PURSUANT TO CIVIL L.R. 6-2

WHEREAS, both Twin Peaks and IBM also indicated in their Joint Claim Construction 

and Prehearing Statement Pursuant to Patent Local Rule 4-3 (Dkt. No. 39) that each party would 

submit expert declarations in support of their claim construction positions; 

WHEREAS, Twin Peaks and IBM expect to submit expert declarations in support of their 

claim construction positions with their initial claim construction briefs under the Court’s 

scheduling order (Dkt. No. 29); 

WHEREAS, counsel for Twin Peaks and counsel for IBM have met and conferred 

regarding the scheduling of depositions of the parties’ respective experts, and counsel for both 

parties have agreed that these depositions should take place after the submission of their respective 

declarations; 

WHEREAS, Twin Peaks and IBM have therefore agreed that IBM would take the 

deposition of Twin Peaks’ claim construction expert after September 30, 2015 but before October 

21, 2015, and Twin Peaks would take the deposition of IBM’s claim construction expert after 

October 21, 2015 but before October 30, 2015; 

WHEREAS, as a result of discussions between the parties regarding the aforementioned 

matters, Twin Peaks and IBM have agreed to jointly request that the Court allow the five 

depositions identified above to take place after the August 14, 2015 close of claim construction 

discovery; 

WHEREAS, this is the second time the parties have sought to make any modifications to 

the Court’s scheduling order and, prior to this motion, IBM and Twin Peaks have made only two 

requests to extend deadlines in this case (Dkt. Nos. 10 and 33); 

WHEREAS, the parties’ proposed extension for claim construction depositions does not 

affect the dates of the technology tutorial (Nov. 17, 2015) or the claim construction hearing (Dec. 

8, 2015), nor does it reduce the time available to the Court to review materials between the 

conclusion of claim construction briefing (Oct. 30, 2015) and the claim construction hearing. The 

proposed modifications also do not affect any deadlines for filing or lodging materials with the 

Court;

party or result in undue delay;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the forgoing, IBM and Twin Peaks by and
