8 Parties’ joint claim construction 

statement

April 7, 2021 April 12, 2021 

3. Good cause exists for granting this brief, 5-day extension of the above claim 

construction briefing deadlines because one of Defendants’ attorneys, Shyamkrishna Palaiyanur—

who is one of Defendants’ primary lawyers involved with managing the claim construction issues 

and briefing for Defendants—was prevented from working for more than three days this week due 

to a lack of heat, power, and Internet at his home in Austin, Texas as a result of the current winter 

storm crisis in Texas. 

4. Counsel for Defendants conferred with counsel for Plaintiffs regarding the relief 

sought herein, who advised that Plaintiffs have no objection to the requested extensions of time. 

5. The requested extensions are not sought for purposes of delay and will not 

prejudice any party or the Court. 

6. A proposed Order is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

WHEREFORE, Defendants HMD AMERICA, INC. and HMD GLOBAL OY respectfully 

request entry of an Order granting the extensions as set forth herein.
