FURTHER JOINT CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE STATEMENT AND [PROPOSED] ORDER

CASE NO. 3:14-CV-02238-SI -1-

The parties by and through their attorneys, jointly submit this Further Case Management 

Conference Statement pursuant to the Court’s Order dated December 3, 2015 (Dkt. No. 49). 

I. PROCEEDINGS SINCE THE INITIAL CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERNCE 

On July 19, 2015, the Court held an Initial Case Management Conference, at which the parties 

informed the Court that the attorneys’ fees award in the related underlying patent litigation was on appeal 

to the Federal Circuit. That appeal has now been fully briefed but has not yet been set for oral argument. 

Kilopass also informed the Court in the parties’ initial Joint Case Management Conference 

Statement that it expected to file a motion to dismiss in this case. The parties further stated no discovery 

had yet taken in place in this case, including that that initial disclosures had not yet been served, and that 

the parties anticipated that when the pleadings were settled, the parties would meet and confer regarding 

a stipulated discovery schedule to the extent required. 

The Court subsequently entered a Pretrial Preparation Order (Dkt. No. 27), setting a further case 

management conference for October 9, 2015, with a Pretrial Conference date of November 15, 2016 and 

a Jury Trial date of November 28, 2016. Non-expert discovery was set to close on June 17, 2016, and 

expert discovery to close on August 19, 2016. 

Kilopass filed a motion to dismiss the complaint (Dkt. No. 29) on July 20, 2016. On August 11, 

2015 (Dkt. No. 36), the Court granted an extension of time until August 24, 2015, for Sidense to amend 

its complaint. The First Amended Complaint was filed on August 24, 2015 (Dkt. No. 37), mooting 

Kilopass’s motion to dismiss the original complaint. Kilopass moved to withdraw its motion to dismiss 

(Dkt. No. 40) and the parties jointly moved (Dkt. No. 41) for an order setting a briefing schedule and a 

December 4, 2015, hearing for Kilopass’s anticipated Motion to Dismiss the First Amended Complaint. 

The parties also sought a continuance of the October 9, 2015, Further Case Management Conference 

until after a decision on the motion to dismiss, including to permit the parties to consider, prior to filing a 

Further Joint Case Management Conference Statement, whether the motion to dismiss decision had 

settled the pleadings and, if so, whether the Parties would engage in further settlement discussions. The 

Court entered the parties’ stipulated schedule on September 25, 2015 (Dkt. No. 42). 

On December 2, 2015, the Court issued an order (Dkt. No. 48) denying Kilopass’s Motion to 

Dismiss the First Amended Complaint and vacating the hearing scheduled for December 4, 2015. The

FURTHER JOINT CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE STATEMENT AND [PROPOSED] ORDER

CASE NO. 3:14-CV-02238-SI -2-

following day, the Court reset the Further Case Management Conference for January 28, 2016. Kilopass 

filed its Answer to the First Amended Complaint on December 16, 2015 (Dkt. No. 50). 

II. THE PARTIES’ DISCUSSION REGARDING ADR AND FURTHER CASE PROCEEDINGS 

Counsel for the parties met and conferred on January 8, 2016, regarding Alternative Dispute 

Resolution. Both parties have expressed a desire for continued settlement discussions prior to the parties 

incurring significant litigation costs and burdening the Court with further proceedings and discovery in 

this case. The parties have agreed to a mediation before a private mediator and a means of selecting a 

mediator. The mediation will be scheduled for a conclusion not later than April 14, 2016, although the 

parties are not precluded from extending that date if they agree that circumstances warrant such an 

extension. In order to accommodate preparation for and attendance at the mediation, the parties have 

agreed that there will be no party or other depositions in the United States between the date of this order 

and April 14, 2016, but in that time, the parties may (a) take depositions in foreign countries and (b) 

conduct written discovery. 

In addition, in view of the matters set forth herein, the parties request that the Court continue the 

Further Case Management Conference for three months, until April 28, 2016, or an alternative date 

convenient for the Court. 

Further, recognizing that discovery has not yet commenced and that the extended period of time 

necessary to finalize the pleadings and resolve the motion to dismiss have rendered the current schedule 

impractical, the parties request a continuance of all dates in the Pretrial Preparation Order (Dkt. No. 27) 

as follows:
