STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO MODIFY PLEADING DEADLINES

STIPULATION

Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 6-1(b) and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a)(2) and (3), 

plaintiffs ASUS Computer International and ASUSTeK Computer Inc. (collectively “ASUS”) and 

defendants InterDigital, Inc.; InterDigital Communications, Inc.; InterDigital Technology 

Corporation; IPR Licensing, Inc.; and InterDigital Patent Holdings, Inc. (collectively “InterDigital”) 

submit this Stipulation and [Proposed] Order to modify the pleading deadlines in this matter. 

Whereas, on April 15, 2015, ASUS filed a complaint against InterDigital, alleging counts 

for (1) violation of Section Two of the Sherman Act; (2) violation of Section 17200 of the 

California Business & Professional Conduct Code; (3) breach of contract from ongoing 

negotiations; (4) breach of contract leading to and resulting from the 2008 PLA; (5) promissory 

estoppel; (6) waiver; and (7) fraudulent inducement to contract; 

Whereas, on August 25, 2015, the Court issued an Order granting in part and denying in 

part InterDigital’s motion to compel arbitration compelling arbitration of all of the original seven 

counts except for (3) breach of contract from ongoing negotiations and staying these proceedings 

pending the arbitrator’s decision on arbitrability of the other six counts; 

Whereas, on July 14, 2016, ASUS filed a Notice of Arbitral Tribunal’s Decision on 

Arbitrability, providing notice of the Tribunal’s Interim Award on Jurisdiction finding all the 

parties’ claims asserted in the ensuing arbitration not arbitrable except for (i) ASUS’s claim for 

fraudulent inducement; (ii) InterDigital’s seventh claim for declaratory relief of no fraudulent 

inducement to contract; and (iii) InterDigital’s claim for breach of the dispute resolution clause in 

the 2008 PLA; 

Whereas, on July 15, 2016, the Court issued an Order lifting the stay on these proceedings; 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties stipulate and request the Court to issue an order 

amending the pleading deadlines as follows: 

(a) ASUS may file an Amended Complaint by Friday, August 5, 2016 or one court day 

after the Court issues this Proposed Order, whichever date is later; 

(b) InterDigital may respond to the Amended Complaint, to the extent permitted by the 

Case 5:15-cv-01716-BLF Document 106 Filed 08/17/16 Page 2 of 5
