Consistent with Patent L.R. 3-6, and in order to permit the parties reasonable time to prepare 

their Final Contentions in light of the continuing pendency of the Court’s Claim Construction Ruling, 

the parties have conferred and hereby stipulate and ask that the Court modify its December 19, 2006 

Pretrial Preparation Order as follows: 

1. Subject to the limitations specified in Patent L.R. 3-6(a), the plaintiffs may serve Final 

Infringement Contention not later than fifteen (15) days after service by the Court of its Claim 

Construction Ruling; 

2. Subject to the limitations specified in Patent L.R. 3-6(b), the defendant may serve Final 

Invalidity Contentions not later than either fifteen (15) days after service by plaintiffs of Final 

Infringement Contentions or thirty (30) days after service by the Court of its Claim Construction Ruling, 

whichever is earlier; and 

3. All other scheduling deadlines in this matter should remain unchanged. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
