Defendants.
PLAINTIFFS’ REPLY IN SUPPORT OF MOTION
FOR EXTENSION OF DISCOVERY DEADLINE AND
MOTION FOR LEAVE TO AMEND COMPLAINT
Defendants InterDigital Communications Corp. and InterDigital Technology
Corp. (collectively "InterDigital") do not oppose Nokia’s motion for leave to amend its
complaint (D.I. 121). Specifically, InterDigital has stated that, subject to its pending motion to
compel arbitration (D.I. 75) and request for leave to file motion for summary judgment (D.I. 86),
and reserving its right to seek dismissal of Nokia’s amended allegations, InterDigital does not
oppose Nokia’s motion to amend its complaint (D.I. 135 at 2).
Likewise, InterDigital does not oppose Plaintiffs’ motion to extend the discovery
deadline (D.I. 125), and has stated that it "will shortly file...a motion for leave to amend its
answer to add additional affirmative defenses as well as assert counterclaims for affirmative
relief against Nokia" (D.I. 136 at 1). Indeed, in light of "the current status of discovery as well
as the new claims sought to be added by Nokia," InterDigital says that the four-month extension

that Nokia requests is not enough.] Id InterDigital requests a scheduling conference to set new
dates for a discovery extension. ld. at 2.
Nokia agrees that another scheduling conference is necessary at this point in the
case. Furthermore, because InterDigital does not oppose either of Nokia’s motions that have
been noticed for the February 2 motion day, Nokia requests that the Court remove its motions
(D.I. 121 and 125) from the February 2 calendar, and set a date for a scheduling conference.
