Plaintiff Rambus Inc. (Rambus) and Defendants LSI Corporation (LSI) and

2 STMicroelectronics N.V. and STMicroelectronics Inc. (collectively, STMicro) hereby submit, 3 pursuant to this Courts Order (Doc. No. 125) following the December 20, 2012 Case 4 Management Conference, the parties respective proposed schedules for further litigation events: 5 I. 6 RAMBUSS PROPOSED SCHEDULE The principal difference between Rambuss proposed schedule and Defendants proposed

7 schedule that follows is that, as discussed at the December 20, 2012 Case Management 8 Conference, Rambus sees no need to have separate discovery periods and dates for expert reports 9 for Defendants unclean hands defense and the remainder of the case. Discovery has been 10 proceeding on all issues and it would be most efficient for the parties to continue to take discovery 11 on all issues, followed by expert discovery on all issues. Indeed, at the Case Management 12 Conference, the Court proposed having discovery for all issues close on April 26, 2013 and expert 13 discovery on all issues close in July 2013, as per Rambuss proposed schedule, and all parties 14 signified agreement with this proposal: 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 THE COURT: Yeah. In July. 26 MR. SIPIORA: Yes. 27 MR. BETTINGER: Good by ST, Your Honor. 28
JOINT PROPOSED SCHEDULING ORDER

THE COURT: So if we close fact discovery -- nonexpert discovery -- in April -- April 26th, is what I had penciled -- and I recognize that date was proposed with the notion that the trial was going to be in October; but on the idea getting everything -- as much done as you can get done in advance, and then perhaps discovery period ending in about July of 2013, any problem with that? MR. STONE: No, Your Honor. MR. BETTINGER: Expert discovery. THE COURT: Expert discovery. MR. BETTINGER: Yeah. THE COURT: Is that fine. MR. SIPIORA: All expert discovery, you're saying, for all issues?

1 Tr. (12/20/12) at 29:14 30:5. 2 Rambuss proposed schedule, like the Defendants, provides for separate dates for

3 dispositive motions related to unclean hands and other issues. In their comments below, 4 Defendants suggest that there should also be a later close of discovery for issues other than 5 unclean hands because that defense may render additional litigation events unnecessary. As 6 Rambus explained in the recently-filed Joint Case Management Conference Statement, however, 7 Defendants unclean hands is highly unlikely to be case dispositive. Dkt. # 124 at 8-9. Moreover, 8 allowing additional time for such discovery would invite inefficiency. There has been extensive 9 discovery in prior litigation relating to spoliation and the validity of the Farmwald-Horowitz 10 patents that need not be repeated here. A close of fact discovery on all issues on April 26, 2013, 11 would ensure that the parties use the time remaining for discovery on what they actually need to 12 bring these cases to trial. Indeed, it is difficult to see how Defendants could be prejudiced by such 13 a discovery deadline given that the principal areas for discovery that have not been at issue in prior 14 litigation relate to infringement of the Farmwald-Horowitz patents by Defendants products and 15 the consequent damages issues on which Rambus, not Defendants, require the bulk of discovery. 16 In addition, Rambus proposes that with respect to dates for in limine motions and for filing

17 trial exhibit lists, the parties be guided by the Courts standing orders that addresses these events. 18 Rambus has no objection to the earlier dates for these events that Defendants propose if the Court 19 believes that additional time is warranted. Rambus submits, however, that the timing provided in 20 the Courts standing orders should suffice, especially in light of the Courts comment in the 21 standing order related to bench trials that, ordinarily, motions in limine are unnecessary in a bench 22 trial. Rambus therefore proposes the following schedule: 23 24 25 26 27 28 Last date for Plaintiff to identify 20 asserted claims Close of fact discovery Opening expert reports from party with burden of proof Last date to file dispositive motions re unclean hands Rebuttal expert reports Close of expert discovery January 25, 2013 April 26, 2013 May 10, 2013 June 6, 2013 June 10, 2013 July 12, 2013

Proposed Schedule for Unclean Hands (Spoliation) Trial Litigation Events

Defendants proposed schedule for an unclean hands (spoliation) trial complies with the

9 Courts Standing Order, but sets the deadlines for exhibit lists and motions in limine earlier than 10 Rambuss schedule. Given the amount of time the parties have to prepare for the August 2013 11 trial, Defendants believe the following schedule to be appropriate and reasonable: 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 Close of fact discovery regarding unclean hands (spoliation) Opening expert reports regarding unclean hands (spoliation) Rebuttal expert reports regarding unclean hands (spoliation) Close of expert discovery regarding unclean hands (spoliation) April 26, 2013 May 10, 2013 June 10, 2013 June 19, 2013

Last date to file dispositive motions regarding unclean hands (spoliation) June 26, 2013 Last date to file motions in limine regarding unclean hands (spoliation) Last date to file opposition to motions in limine Last date to file replies in support of motions in limine Parties to exchange and file trial exhibit lists Parties submit joint pretrial statement and order Parties submit proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law Pretrial conference for unclean hands (spoliation) trial Unclean hands (spoliation) trial B. Proposed Schedule for All Other Litigation Events July 8, 2013 July 22, 2013 July 29, 2013 July 29, 2013 Aug. 2, 2013 Aug. 7, 2013 Aug. 12, 2013 Aug. 26, 2013

Defendants proposed schedule for all other litigation events is based, in part, on the

27 Courts preference that dispositive motions for unclean hands (spoliation) issues be submitted 28 separate from dispositive motions on all other issues. See, e.g., Tr. (Dec. 20, 2012) at 30:6-13.

1 This staged approach recognizes that a meritorious unclean hands defense may render additional 2 litigation events unnecessary and, thus, save the Court and parties significant time and resources 3 through a slight extension of the discovery schedule. To be clear, Defendants are not suggesting 4 that discovery for all other litigation events be stayed. Rather, Defendants submit that it would be 5 extremely difficult to complete all remaining discovery by Rambuss above deadlines and, in light 6 of the April 2014 trial date, unnecessary to artificially accelerate fact and expert discovery. 7 Rambuss proposal does not acknowledge that the parties have much work to do in discovery for 8 just the patent-related issues, and also does not recognize the possibility that certain of these issues 9 may ultimately be resolved through motion practice before the Special Master or this Court, e.g., 10 discovery for worldwide sales, sufficiency of infringement contentions, etc. In contrast to 11 Rambuss suggestion above, Defendants proposed schedule takes into consideration these factors 12 in light of an April 2014 trial date. Defendants thus submit the following proposed schedule: 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
