STIPULATION

Pursuant to Civil Local Rules 7-7 and 7-12, Plaintiff Iconix, Inc. (“Iconix”) and 

Defendants NetPickle, Inc., Lance Tokuda and Jia Shen (collectively, “Defendants”), by and 

through their respective counsel, hereby stipulate to and request the Court to issue an order 

modifying the Order granting Plaintiff’s Motion for Preliminary Injunction that was entered on 

September 26, 2006 (“Preliminary Injunction Order”), granting in part Plaintiff’s Motion for 

Preliminary Injunction. See Docket Item No. 158. 

Paragraph (3) of the Preliminary Injunction Order states as follows: 

3) Within 10 days of service of this Order, Defendants are required 

to deliver to counsel for Plaintiff, and to erase, any and all copies of 

software that would infringe Iconix’s copyrights, pursuant to 17 

U.S.C. § 106, in any software code developed by Defendants or 

anyone acting in concert with them during the time they were 

employed by Plaintiff; except that Defendants’ counsel shall be 

permitted to retain one copy of any such software code to be used 

for litigation and not operational, purposes only. 

Id. at 48. 

On October 6, 2006, Defendants filed a Motion for a Clarification of Order Granting 

Preliminary Injunction. See Docket Item No. 166. Specifically, Defendants sought a clarification 

that they could erase or return, as opposed to erase and return, the software code that would 

infringe Plaintiff’s copyrights because the software code in Defendants’ possession exists on hard 

drives, as opposed to removable media such as CDs, which they contend cannot be returned and 

erased. In addition, Defendants also sought a clarification that their defense counsel may be 

permitted to make such copies of the software code as necessary to conduct the litigation because 

if permitted to retain only one copy of the software code, Defendants’ counsel would be limited in 

preparation of the case for trial. 

Also on October 6, 2006, Defendants filed a Motion pursuant to Civil Local Rule 6-3 to 

have the motion seeking clarification heard on an expedited basis. See Docket Item No. 169. On 

October 10, 2006, Plaintiff filed a statement of non-opposition to the request for shortened time. 

See Docket Item No. 173. 

On October 11, 2006, after further meet and confer, the parties reached an agreement with

ORDER; NOTICE OF WITHDRAWAL OF MOTIONS

respect to issues raised in Defendants’ motion. 

Accordingly, the Parties jointly request that the Court amend paragraph (3) of its 

September 26, 2006, Order to read as follows: 

3) Within 10 days of service of this Order [the Preliminary 

Injunction Order], Defendants are required to copy to portable 

media and deliver to counsel for Plaintiff, and to erase, any and all 

copies of software that would infringe Iconix’s copyrights, pursuant 

to 17 U.S.C. § 106, in any software code developed by Defendants 

or anyone acting in concert with them during the time they were 

employed by Plaintiff; except that Defendants’ counsel shall be 

permitted to retain or make copies of such software code to the 

extent necessary to conduct this litigation, provided that any such 

copies are to be used for litigation and not operational, purposes 

only, and further provided that no copies may be transmitted to any 

person other than Defendants’ counsel unless such transmitted 

copies are designated and treated pursuant to the Attorneys’ Eyes 

Only provisions under the Protective Order dated August 16, 2006 

in this case (Docket Item No. 127). 

All other portions of the Court’s September 26, 2006 Order remain in effect. 

Further, based upon the Parties’ agreement and conditioned upon the Court’s approval of 

the stipulation modifying the Court’s Order, Defendants agree to withdraw the motions filed on 

October 6, 2006.
