DISTRICT OF NEVADA

* * * 

VOIP-PAL.COM, INC., a Nevada corporation,

Plaintiff, 

v. 

APPLE, INC., a California corporation, 

Defendants.

CASE NO.: 2:16-cv-00260-RFB-VCF

STIPULATION AND ORDER TO 

EXTEND DEADLINE TO FILE 

JOINT STATUS REPORT

Plaintiff Voip-Pal.com, Inc. (“Plaintiff” or “Voip-Pal”) and Defendant Apple, Inc. 

(“Defendant” or “Apple”), through undersigned counsel, stipulate and request the Court to continue 

the deadline to file a Joint Status Report from December 12, 2017 to January 26, 2018. 

1. On February 9, 2016, VoIP-Pal filed this action against Apple alleging infringement

of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,542,815 (the “‘815 patent”) and 9,179,005 (the “‘005 patent”). (ECF No. 1). 

2. On May 5, 2016, this Court entered an order extending the time for Apple to answer

the complaint until July 29, 2016. (ECF No. 13); 

3. On June 15, 2016, Apple filed a petition with the PTAB to institute IPR proceedings

on the asserted claims of the ’815 patent. (See ECF No. 24 at ¶ 3.) Apple also petitioned the PTAB 

to institute IPR proceedings on the asserted claims of the ’005 patent. (See id.);

4. On July 19, 2016, the parties filed a stipulation and proposed order seeking a stay of

this litigation pending the PTAB’s decisions on whether to institute IPR on the ’815 and ’005 

patents. (ECF No. 24); 

5. On July 20, 2016, this Court granted the parties’ stipulation, ordering a stay of this

litigation pending the Court’s review of a Joint Status Report outlining the parties’ respective 

positions on how the case should proceed in light of the PTAB’s institution decisions. (ECF No. 

25); 

6. On November 21, 2016, the PTAB instituted IPR on all asserted claims of the ’815

patent. (Decision, Institution of Inter Partes Review of United States Patent No. 8,542,815, Apple 

Inc. v. VoIP-Pal.com, Inc., IPR2016-01201 (P.T.A.B. Nov. 21, 2016) at 32); 

7. Likewise, on November 21, 2016, the PTAB instituted IPR on all asserted claims of

the ’005 patent. (Decision, Institution of Inter Partes Review of United States Patent No. 9,179,005, 

Apple Inc. v. VoIP-Pal.com, Inc., IPR2016-01198 (P.T.A.B. Nov. 21, 2016) at 31); 

8. By statute, the PTAB must issue final written decisions in the ’815 patent and ’005

patent IPR proceedings no later than November 21, 2017. 35 U.S.C. § 316(a)(11); 

9. On November 20, 2017, the PTAB issued final written decisions denying Apple’s

challenged claims in the ’815 patent and ’005 patent IPR proceedings (IPR2016-01201 and IPR2016-

01198). Additionally, the PTAB denied institution of IPRs for five other petitions filed against the 

‘815 and ‘005 patents, namely, three IPR petitions filed by AT&T (IPR2017-01382, IPR2017-01383, 

and IPR2017-01384), and two follow-on petitions filed by Apple (IPR2017-01398 and IPR2017-

01399). 

10. A joint status report is due in a similar case before this Court in Voip-Pal.com, Inc., v.

Twitter, Inc., Case No. 2:16-cv-2338 on January 26, 2017. Because of the similarity of issues and 

procedural history involving the two cases, the parties desire to extend the deadline to file their joint
