Case No. C 05-01391 WHA 

PROPOSED ORDER RE: SCHEDULE FOR 

CLAIM CONSTRUCTION

Pursuant to this Court’s Order of July 7, 2005, the Parties, after meeting and conferring in 

good-faith stipulate to, and respectfully submit, the following Schedule for Claim Construction. 

The Parties note that the proposed schedule, though highly compressed to meet the accelerated 

date of the claim-construction hearing order by the Court, preserves much of the procedure and 

timing set forth in the Patent Local Rules. However, the Parties note, and respectfully request 

that the Court confirm, that the proposed schedule provides that Plaintiff’s Reply Brief be filed 

and served nine (9) days prior to the claims construction hearing, rather than the fourteen (14) 

days provided pursuant to the Local Patent Rules. This alteration was necessary to ensure that 

each Party was provided with a fair and reasonable amount of time to analyze each other’s 

respective disclosures and adequately brief the issues for the Court in light of the foreshortening 

of other Local Patent Rule-specified deadlines which resulted from the expedited hearing date 

designated by the Court.
