Re: St. Clair Intellectual Property Consultants, Inc.
v. Research in Motion LTD., et al.
C.A. No. 08-371 (JJF)
Dear Judge Farnan:
Defendants Research in Motion Ltd. and Research in Motion Corp.
(collectively, "RIM”) respectfully submit this letter in support of Defendant
General Imaging Co.’s August 18, 2008 letter (DI. 8), which requests a
continuance of the Scheduling Conference currently set for September li, 2008.
Like General Imaging, RIM has not yet responded to Plaintiff St. Clair
Intellectual Property Consultants, Inc.’s ("St. Clair") complaint. Indeed, on
August I9, St. Clair and RIM stipulated, subject to the Court’s approval, that RIM
will have until September l7 to respond to the complaint. (D.I. 10) St. Clair and
General Imaging reached the same stipulation. (DI. 7) RIM agrees with General
Imaging that the Scheduling Conference will be more productive for the parties
and the Court if it is reset for a date after the Defendants have responded to St.
; Clair’s complaint. Rescheduling the Scheduling Conference will also allow RIM,
which only accepted service of St. Clair’s complaint on August 18, time to assess
the case and the procedural schedule.
St. Clair’s argument that the Scheduling Conference should not be
rescheduled because RIM agreed to waive service of the complaint and to
participate in a Rule 26(I) conference (D.I. 9) is misplaced. RIM agreed to waive
service of St. Clair’s complaint in consideration for St. Clair’s stipulation that
RIM will have until September I7 to respond to the complaint. Further, because

the Scheduling Conference is currently set for September l 1, RIM was required
under Rule 26 to rneet end confer with St. Clair by August 2l.
RIM therefore respectfully joins General Imaging’s request to reset the
Scheduling Conference to u date after September 17, 2008.
