`
`
`Avanzadas SA de CV, TCL Electronics Mexico, S de RL de CV, and TCL Overseas Marketing
`
`Ltd. (collectively, “TCL”) have reached an agreement to extend certain deadlines in the instant
`
`action, and AMD and TCL hereby seek an order by the Court entering the AMD’s and TCL’s
`
`agreement as follows:
`
`I.
`
`On May 5, 2022, AMD filed the Complaint in this action (Dkt. 1). AMD filed a parallel
`
`investigation in the United States International Trade Commission, which was instituted on June
`
`1, 2022, In re Matter of Certain Graphics Systems, Components Thereof, and Digital Televisions
`
`Containing the Same, No. 337-TA-1318. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1659(a), TCL has a right to seek
`
`a mandatory stay of this action due to the parallel ITC Investigation up to and through July 1, 2022.
`
`II.
`
`On June 14, 2022, the Court set a scheduling conference for this case, which is scheduled
`
`to occur on July 19, 2022 (Dkt. 18 (“Order”)). Pursuant to the Order, the deadline for AMD to
`
`comply with P.R. 3-1 and 3-2 (Infringement Contentions) is July 5, 2022 and the deadline for TCL
`
`to comply with P.R. 3-3 and 3-4 (Invalidity Contentions) and to comply with the Standing Order
`
`Regarding Subject-Matter Eligibility Contentions is August 30, 2022.
`
`III.
`
`AMD and TCL agree that extensions are appropriate for the foregoing deadlines to seek a
`
`stay of present proceeding and to serve substantive contentions in order to allow parallel
`
`proceedings to move forward in the ITC Investigation, and to give the parties further time to
`
`determine whether a stay of this case is appropriate.
`
`IV.
`
`AMD and TCL request the Court to enter an order extending the foregoing deadlines as
