WHEREAS Defendants A&S Electronics, Inc. and Alan Z. Lin (“Defendants”) filed a 

Motion to Dismiss Microsoft’s First Amended Complaint (Dkt. No. 26); and

WHEREAS on December 11, 2015, the Court issued a Tentative Ruling granting 

Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss with leave to amend (Dkt. No. 37), and directing the parties to 

either stipulate to the entry of the Tentative Ruling or to appear for the scheduled oral argument on 

Defendants’ Motion; and

WHEREAS on December 14, 2015, the parties stipulated to entry of the Tentative Ruling 

(Dkt. No. 38); and

WHEREAS on December 14, 2015, the Court entered the parties’ stipulation (Dkt. No. 39), 

and directed Microsoft to file its Second Amended Complaint on or before January 12, 2016; and

WHEREAS on January 12, 2016, Microsoft filed its Second Amended Complaint (Dkt. No. 

40), in which it alleged the terms of two license agreements that it contends support its claim for 

contributory copyright infringement pursuant to the reasoning in the Court’s December 11, 2015 

Tentative Ruling; and 

WHEREAS on January 29, 2016, Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss Microsoft’s Second 

Amended Complaint (Dkt. No. 41), and noticed a hearing for March 8, 2016; and 

WHEREAS in the process of preparing its Opposition to Defendants’ pending Motion to 

Dismiss, Microsoft discovered a discrepancy in the terms of one of the license agreements alleged 

in the Second Amended Complaint—the Microsoft Software License Agreement for Microsoft 

Office 2013 Desktop Application Software (“Office 2013 License Agreement”)—relating to the 

transferability of Microsoft Office 2013 software; and

WHEREAS Microsoft is otherwise fully prepared to file its Opposition to Defendants’

Motion to Dismiss the Second Amended Complaint by the February 12, 2016 deadline; and 

WHEREAS the parties agree that the litigation is best served if the Court’s decision is 

rendered on the basis of the correct language in the Office 2013 License Agreement; and

WHEREAS the parties agree that, given the significance of Microsoft’s license agreements 

to the Court’s reasoning in the December 11, 2015 Tentative Ruling, Microsoft should amend its 

Complaint to set forth the exact terms of the Office 2013 License Agreement before the Court 

adjudicates the merits of Microsoft’s allegations.

NOW THEREFORE, the parties HEREBY STIPULATE AND AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

1. Microsoft is granted leave to file a Third Amended Complaint to allege the exact 

terms governing the Office 2013 License Agreement;

2. Microsoft shall file its Third Amended Complaint within three (3) court days of the 

filing of this Stipulation;

3. Upon filing of Microsoft’s Third Amended Complaint, Defendants’ pending Motion 

to Dismiss (Dkt. No. 41) will be moot and should be taken off calendar.

4. Defendants shall have twenty (20) days to move to dismiss, answer, or otherwise 

respond to Microsoft’s Third Amended Complaint from the date on which it is filed.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
