On November 23, 2010, Judge Fogel granted a stipulated request expanding page limits for claim construction briefing for the parties Acer, Inc., Acer America, Inc. and Gateway, Inc. (collectively “Acer”) (Dkt. 211), Barco, N.V. (“Barco”) (Dkt. 114), HTC Corp. and HTC America, Inc. (collectively “HTC”) (Dkt. 227) (Acer, Barco and HTC collectively “Plaintiffs”) and Technology Properties Ltd., Patriot Scientific Corp. and Alliacense, Ltd. (collectively “TPL” or “Defendants”). In particular, this Court permitted the page limits under Local Rules 7-2, 7-3 and 7-4 on the parties’ claim construction briefs to be expanded as follows:

2. The page limit of Plaintiffs’ combined responsive brief was expanded from 25 to 35 pages; and
3. The page limit of Defendants’ reply brief was expanded from 15 to 20 pages.
Plaintiffs and Defendants are uncertain as to whether the stipulated request of November 23, 2010 remains in effect. Accordingly, Plaintiffs and Defendants, pursuant to Northern District of California Civil Local Rule 7-12, make this stipulated request for an order consolidating and expanding the page limits for claim construction briefing:
WHEREAS, the parties met and conferred and agreed that each side, Plaintiffs and Defendants, will submit combined briefs;
WHEREAS, the parties have further agreed that the page limits provided in Northern District Local Rules 7-2, 7-3 and 7-4 should be expanded for this combined briefing;
ACCORDINGLY, it is HEREBY STIPULATED by and among the parties and their counsel of record, who respectfully request that the Court expand the page limits under Local Rules 7-2, 7-3 and 7-4 on the parties’ claim construction briefs as follows:
1. The page limit of Plaintiffs’ combined responsive brief is expanded from 25 to 30
pages; and
2. The page limit of Defendants’ reply brief is expanded from 15 to 20 pages.
