and confer at least twenty-one (21) days in advance of the Pretrial Conference. The July 29, 2016 

compliance hearing is intended to confirm that counsel have reviewed the Court’s Pretrial Setting 

Instructions and are in compliance therewith. Five (5) business days in advance of the July 29, 

2016 compliance hearing, the parties shall submit a joint statement indicating the same. 

 Five (5) business days in advance of the October 30, 2015 compliance hearing, the parties 

shall submit a joint statement addressing the following: 

1. The Court is considering limiting the number of asserted claims to 7 and the number of 

prior art references to 21. The parties shall meet and confer and provide the Court with 

their respective positions regarding the appropriate number of limitations and timing 

regarding the same. 

2. The parties shall provide the Court with the name of their agreed-upon mediator. 

3. The parties shall provide the Court with their perspectives on whether the final 

judgment entered at Docket Number 122 was vacated by operation of law due to the 

Federal Circuit’s reversal of the Court’s construction of “program,” or whether plaintiff 

must move for relief from the judgment in light of that ruling. 

The compliance hearings shall both be held in the Federal Courthouse, 1301 Clay Street, 

Oakland, California, in Courtroom 1. Five (5) business days prior to the compliance hearings, the 

parties shall submit the joint statements discussed above or a joint statement explaining their 

failure to comply. If compliance is complete, the parties need not appear and the compliance 

hearing will be taken off calendar. Telephonic appearances will be allowed if the parties have 

submitted a joint statement in a timely fashion. Failure to do so may result in sanctions. 

 The parties must comply with the Court’s Standing Orders in Civil Cases, for Patent Cases, 

and for Pretrial Instructions in Civil Cases for additional deadlines and procedures. All Standing 

Orders are available on the Court’s website at http://www.cand.uscourts.gov/ygrorders. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
