WHEREAS, Plaintiffs Acer, Inc., Acer America Corporation, and Gateway, Inc. (collectively, 

“Plaintiffs” or “Acer”) and Defendants Technology Properties Limited, Patriot Scientific 

Corporation, and Alliacense Limited (collectively, “TPL”) entered into a Stipulated Protective Order. 

Dkt. No. 142. 

WHEREAS, per Section 7.4 of the Stipulated Protective Order, on August 2, 2010, Acer filed 

its timely objection to TPL’s request to disclose Plaintiffs’ “Highly Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes 

Only” information and items to Vojin Oklobdzija and their use of him as an expert/consultant. Dkt. 

No. 172.

WHEREAS, counsel for TPL was not available to meet and confer with Acer within three (3) 

court days as required by Section 7.4 of the Stipulated Protective Order. 

WHEREAS, the parties agreed to meet and confer over the designation of Dr. Oklobdzija on 

the earliest mutually convenient date, August 6, 2010, and therefore also agreed to extend the time for 

Acer to file its motion for a protective order (if necessary) until August 16, 2010 after the parties 

complete their meet and confer as required by Section 7.4(c) of the Protective Order. 

WHEREAS, the parties further agreed that if the Court is available and willing to hear the 

motion on shortened time, any motion for protective order filed by Acer should be briefed and heard 

on the following schedule: 

• TPL shall have seven (7) court days to file any opposition to a motion for protective 

order;

• Acer shall have three (3) court days to file a reply brief; and

• The Motion for Protective Order shall be heard by the Court on September 7, 2010.

WHEREAS, the parties agree that should the Court set the hearing for a later date, the parties 

will agree to modify and extend the foregoing briefing scheduled accordingly.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED THAT:

1. The parties shall meet and confer on August 6, 2010 regarding their disputed over 

TPL’s designation of Dr. Oklobdzija as an expert/consultant under the Stipulated Protective Order;

2. If the parties are unable to informally resolve their dispute over the designation of Dr. 

Oklobdzija, Acer shall have up to and including August 16, 2010 file a motion for protective order;
