          STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER REGARDING SYNOPSYS, INC.'S PRODUCTS

          DONNA M. RYU, Magistrate Judge.

         Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7-12 and Local Patent Rule 3-6, Plaintiff Synopsys, Inc. ("Synopsys") and Defendant Mentor Graphics Corporation ("Mentor Graphics") jointly submit this stipulated motion.

         WHEREAS, Synopsys identified a total of 26 asserted claims of U.S. Patent No. 5, 530, 841 (the "841 patent"), U.S. Patent No. 5, 680, 318 (the "318 patent"), U.S. Patent No. 5, 748, 488 (the "488 patent"), and U.S. Patent No. 6, 836, 420 (the "420 patent") (collectively, the "Asserted Patents") in its Infringement Contentions served on April 12, 2013 in this case;

The 841. 318, and 488 patents are related, have the same inventors (Brent L. Gregory and Russell B. Segal), and are collectively referred to as the "Gregory patents."

         WHEREAS, Mentor Graphics identified 39 prior art references and products for the Gregory patents, and 31 prior art references and products for the 420 patent in its First Amended Invalidity Contentions served January 29, 2014 in this case;

         WHEREAS, the Court has stayed "all proceeding on the 420 patent pending completion of trial on inter partes review of said patent by the Patent Trial and Appeals Board" (Dkt. No. 215);

         WHEREAS, Synopsys and Mentor Graphics seek to further streamline and narrow the issues in the case as it moves forward;

         IT IS, THEREFORE, AGREED AND STIPULATED, AS FOLLOWS:

         By August 7, 2014 Synopsys will elect 8 claims total for the Gregory patents.

         By August 14, 2014 Mentor will elect 6 prior art references for the Gregory patents.

         For purposes of this Stipulation, a prior art instrumentality (such as a device or process) and associated references that describe that prior art instrumentality shall count as one prior art reference, as shall the closely related work of a single prior artist.

         Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 5-1(i)(3), counsel for Synopsys has obtained the concurrence of Defendant's counsel in the filing of this stipulation.

         PURSUANT TO STIPULATION, IT IS SO ORDERED.
