JURY TRIAL DEMANDED

JOINT NOTICE CONCERNING AGREEMENT TO EXTEND DEADLINES

TO THE HONORABLE COURT:

Plaintiff WSOU Investments, LLC (“WSOU”) and Defendant Google LLC (“Google”) 

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

Request to Change Deadline, submit this Joint Notice to memorialize their agreement to extend 

case deadlines. The Parties have agreed to adjust the Scheduling Order to afford the Parties more 

time to streamline the cases, to reduce the number of claims and prior art references currently at 

issue, to provide the parties more time to resolve outstanding discovery disputes, and additional 

time to complete depositions and further prepare for trial and expert discovery. The Parties have 

jointly agreed to modify the schedule as follows:
