("Puget"), Counter-Plaintiff Appian Way, LLC (collectively with "Appian" and "Puget," "Appian/Puget"), and Plaintiff and Counter-Defendant Tile Tech, Inc. ("Tile Tech").

NOW, THEREFORE, having considered the Joint Motion, and finding good cause, it is ORDERED that the Joint Motion is GRANTED. All deadlines in the above-captioned matter (with the exception of the pending Defendants' Motion to Stay Proceedings Against Puget (Dkt. # 35)) shall be stayed until June 20, 2018 for the purpose of permitting the parties to focus their efforts on settling their dispute in mediation.

It is FURTHER ORDERED that, if the case does not resolve in mediation on or before June 20, 2018:

(1) Appian shall promptly move for partial summary judgment of invalidity under 35 U.S.C. § 102 on the basis of prior invention, printed publication, on sale bar, and related activity by Appian and other third parties ("Appian's Motion for Summary Judgment");

(2) Appian's Motion for Summary Judgment shall not count towards Appian's allotted page count for summary judgment motions pursuant to Local Civil Rule 7(e);

(3) Tile Tech shall not oppose the Appian's Motion for Summary Judgment on the grounds that it is premature;

(4) The remainder of the deadlines in the case shall remain stayed pending resolution of Appian's Motion for Summary Judgment;

(5) Within 14 days of the Court's ruling on Appian's Motion for Summary Judgment, the parties shall submit a revised proposed Scheduling Order to the Court.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
