Pursuant to Civil Local Rules 6, 7-11, and 7-12, Plaintiff KHN Solutions Inc. 

(“Plaintiff”) and Defendant Vertisense Inc. (“Defendant”) (collectively the “Parties”), by and 

through their counsel, submit this stipulated motion for administrative relief regarding 

scheduling or in the alternative stipulated motion to enlarge time. 

On October 18, 2016, the Parties submitted a Joint Case Management Statement and on 

October 25, 2015 the Court held the Initial Case Management Conference. See Dkt Nos. 65-66. 

Following the Initial Case Management Conference, the Court referred the case to Magistrate 

Judge Donna Ryu for a settlement and pre-settlement conference. See Dkt Nos. 67-68. The 

Court has not, at this time, provided a scheduling order governing the schedule in this case. 

However, Patent Local Rules require service of infringement contentions not later than 14-days 

after the initial Case Management Conference, service of invalidity contentions not later than 45-

days after service of infringement contentions, and claim construction exchanges and briefing 

14-days after service of invalidity contentions. See Patent Local Rules 3-4. The Parties seek 

clarity regarding whether contention deadlines and claim construction deadlines under the Patent 

Local Rules still apply in light of the Court’s Order referring the case to Magistrate Judge Donna 

Ryu for settlement purposes. The parties understanding from the Case Management Conference 

and Order referring the case to Magistrate Judge Donna Ryu for settlement purposes, is that the 

Patent Local Rule deadlines do not currently apply, but in an abundance of caution bring this 

administrative motion for the Court’s guidance. 

In the alternative, the Parties seek to continue by 21-days Patent Local Rule and 

discovery deadlines and request an order enlarging the time to serve and submit discovery 

responses, infringement contentions, invalidity contentions, claim construction exchanges and 

briefing, and any other deadlines proscribed by the Civil and Patent Local Rules. To date, the 

Parties have previously stipulated to two time modifications in this case: the first to extend the 

time for Defendant Vertisense to file its answer to the complaint and the second to continue the 

Initial Case Management Conference by one week. This stipulated motion to enlarge time will 

conserve judicial resources and allow the Parties to finalize settlement without incurring the

costs of discovery, infringement contentions, invalidity contentions, and claim construction 

proceedings. The Parties are close to reaching an agreement in principle, and when executed, the 

agreement will settle all claims in this case. This enlargement of time will not affect the Court’s 

Order referring the case to Magistrate Judge Donna Ryu for settlement purposes or other 

scheduling order issued by the Court. Therefore, this stipulated time modification will not have 

an effect on the schedule for this case. 

WHEREAS, KHN and Vertisense have mutually agreed to a twenty one (21)-day 

enlargement of time for service and submission of discovery responses, infringement 

contentions, invalidity contentions, claim construction exchanges and briefing proscribed by the 

Patent Local Rules. 

THEREFORE, it is hereby stipulated and agreed that the deadline for service of 

discovery responses will be continued by twenty one (21)-days from their current due dates, the 

deadline for service of infringement contentions is continued from November 8, 2016 to 

November 29, 2016, the deadline for service of invalidity contentions is continued from 

December 23, 2016 to January 13, 2016, and the deadline for claim construction exchanges and 

briefing is continued to follow the Patent Local Rules in accordance with the new deadlines set 

for infringement and invalidity contentions.
