Defendants.

ORDER1 GRANTING IN PART AND DENYING IN PART DEFENDANTS’
MOTIONS TO AMEND INFRINGEMENT CONTENTIONS

Defendants Technology Properties Ltd., Patriot Scientific Corp., and Alliacense, Ltd.
(collectively, “TPL”) seek leave to amend their infringement contentions with respect to United
States Patent Nos. 5,530,890 (“the ‘890 patent”) and 5,440,749 (“the ‘749 patent”) in each of the
above-captioned actions.2 The Court heard oral argument on April 22, 2011. Because TPL
seeks to assert certain claims that it reasonably could not have asserted prior to the
reexamination of the patents, the motions will be granted in part and denied in part.

by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”). Although TPL was
permitted to amend its infringement contentions at that time with respect to the ‘336 patent
