JURY TRIAL DEMANDED

JOINT MOTION TO RESET PRETRIAL CONFERENCE AND TRIAL DATES

TO THE HONORABLE COURT:

Plaintiff WSOU Investments, LLC (“WSOU”) and Defendant Microsoft Corporation 

(“Microsoft”) (collectively, the “Parties”), pursuant to the Court’s Standing Order Regarding 

Joint or Unopposed Request to Change Deadline, submit this Joint Motion to reset the final 

pretrial conference and trial dates in view of agreed changes in the case schedules memorialized 

in the Joint Notice Concerning Agreement to Extend Deadlines, filed on January 11, 2022. The 

Parties seek to align pre-trial proceedings between Civil Action No. 6:20-cv-00463 and Civil 

Action No. 6:20-cv-00457, to streamline pre-trial proceedings for the Court and the Parties. The 

Parties have further agreed to adjust the Scheduling Order to afford the Parties more time for the 

purposes of completing fact depositions in Civil Action Nos. 6:20-cv-00456, -458, -460, -462, 

and -464. The Parties jointly move the Court to reset the final pretrial conference and trial dates 

as follows:
