STIPULATED REQUEST FOR ORDER

AMENDING CASE MANAGEMENT

ORDER


[PROPOSED] ORDER


(as modified)

On January 17, 2013, the Court held an Initial Case Management Conference. At the Initial Case Management Conference, the Court adopted the parties' proposed Case Management Order through the completion of claim construction discovery and set a further case management conference for May 23, 2013 at 10:30 am. On February 26, 2013, CoolIT filed its amended answer to Asetek's amended complaint and amended counterclaims. CoolIT's amended counterclaims included a claim for infringement of CoolIT's U.S. Pat. No. 8,382,456, which issued on February 26, 2013. The parties are preparing to exchange the contentions required by the Patent Local Rules in connection with CoolIT's patent. The parties agree that, in view of CoolIT's new counterclaim, coordination of dates for claim construction proceedings for Asetek's patents-in-suit and CoolIT's patent-in-suit would be efficient.

Accordingly, the parties submit that good cause exists to amend the Case Management Order in view of the desirability of coordinating claim construction for all patents now involved in this case.

The parties propose the following amended schedule:

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ ¦EVENT ¦PROPOSED SCHEDULE ¦ +---------------------------------------------------------+-------------------¦ ¦Last Day for CoolIT to Serve Disclosure of Asserted ¦ ¦ ¦Claims and Infringement Contentions (and accompanying ¦March 19, 2013 ¦ ¦document production) ¦ ¦ +---------------------------------------------------------+-------------------¦ ¦Last Day for Asetek to Serve Preliminary Invalidity ¦May 3, 2013 ¦ ¦Contentions (and accompanying document production) ¦ ¦ +---------------------------------------------------------+-------------------¦ ¦Last Day for Parties to Exchange List of "Proposed Terms ¦May 17, 2013 ¦ ¦and Claim Elements for Construction" ¦ ¦ +---------------------------------------------------------+-------------------¦ ¦Case Management Conference ¦May 23, 2013 at ¦ ¦ ¦10:30 am ¦ +---------------------------------------------------------+-------------------¦ ¦Meet and confer to identify 10 terms ¦May 24, 2013 ¦ +---------------------------------------------------------+-------------------¦ ¦Exchange of Preliminary Claim Constructions and Extrinsic¦June 7, 2013 ¦ ¦Evidence ¦ ¦ +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
