after the March 31, 2006 discovery cutoff. The Court further ordered that Defendants shall 

conduct those depositions by no later than May 26, 2006. 

2. On May 17, 2006, the Court ordered that Defendants may amend their final 

invalidity contentions and that the discovery deadline is extended until August 18, 2006 for 

conducting discovery with respect to the newly-asserted items of prior art. 

3. As of the date of this filing, the Senior Master of the Queen's Bench Division of the 

Supreme Court of England and Wales has not yet ruled on Defendants' request to take those 

depositions, which was submitted as a Letter of Request for International Judicial Assistance 

pursuant to the Hague Convention of March 18, 1970 on the Taking of Evidence Abroad in Civil 

or Commercial Matters. 

4. In view of the extended discovery schedule and the fact that the Senior Master of 

the Queen's Bench Division has yet to issue an order on Defendants' Letter of Request, the 

undersigned hereby stipulate that Defendants may have until August 18, 2006 to complete the 

depositions of Dr. Neville Richard Ledger and Mr. Robert Peter Sunman.
