WHEREAS, the Parties have met and conferred and jointly believe that the deadlines in 

this case should be modified to allow a ruling on Trend Micro’s Motion to Dismiss prior to

(1) vacate the initial Case Management Conference currently scheduled for April 16, 

2010, and reset the initial Case Management Conference after the Court rules on Trend Micro’s 

Motion to Dismiss; 

(2) vacate the March 23, 2010 ADR deadlines and reset them, along with the Rule 

26-related deadlines, in an Order Resetting the Initial Case Management Conference issued after 

the Court rules on Trend Micro’s Motion to Dismiss; and 

(3) order that the parties’ obligations to begin making their respective Patent 

Disclosures under the Local Patent Rules are continued until after the Court holds the Initial 

Case Management Conference, as contemplated above and in the Patent Local Rules.

WHEREAS, there is no schedule set in this case beyond the dates set for the ADR 

deadlines, the initial Case Management Conference, and the hearing on Trend Micro’s Motion to 

Dismiss, therefore, this Stipulated Motion will not impact the schedule in this case after those 

dates;

NOW THEREFORE, the Parties, by and through their undersigned counsel and pursuant 

to the above stipulations, hereby jointly move the Court for an Order: 

(1) vacating the ADR deadlines currently scheduled for March 23, 2010, and the 

initial Case Management Conference currently scheduled for April 16, 2010;

deadlines for the parties to meet and confer regarding initial disclosures and discovery plan, to 

file a Rule 26(f) Report, to complete initial disclosures, and to file a Joint Case Management 

Statement, in an Order that the Court will issue if the Court denies Trend Micro’s Motion to 

Dismiss; and
