Case 5:17-cv-00220-LHK Document 1496 Filed 05/28/19 Page 2 of 4

1 Defendant Qualcomm Incorporated, by and through undersigned counsel, hereby

2 respectfully moves pursuant to Civil L. R. 6-3(a)(4) for an order shortening the time for the Court

3 to hear, and the Federal Trade Commission to respond, to Qualcomm’s Motion for Stay Pending

4 Appeal, (the “Stay Motion”), which Qualcomm filed concurrently with this motion. In

5 accordance with Civil L. R. 6-3(a), Qualcomm’s Motion to Change Time is supported by the

6 Declaration of Bryn Williams, counsel for Qualcomm, and a proposed order, filed concurrently

7 herewith. Qualcomm has conferred with the Federal Trade Commission, which declined to

8 stipulate to the relief requested in this motion. Decl. of Bryn Williams (“Williams Decl.”) ¶ 10.

9 Qualcomm respectfully requests that the Court shorten the briefing and hearing time for
10 its Stay Motion by (a) ordering the FTC to submit any response to Qualcomm’s Stay Motion by

11 May 31, 2019, and (b) scheduling a hearing on Qualcomm’s motion as soon thereafter as

12 practicable.

13 Good cause exists to shorten time. In particular, as detailed in its Stay Motion, the

14 injunction issued by this Court in its Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, (Dkt. 1490 (the

15 “Order”)), requires Qualcomm to fundamentally reorganize the way it does business, renegotiate

16 existing license agreements, and adopt licensing practices at odds with decades of history and

17 settled industry practice. (Mot. for Stay at 7-10; Rogers Decl. ¶¶ 4-5.) Implementing these

18 changes will irreparably harm Qualcomm if the Court’s Order is overturned, and the risk of

19 irreparable harm increases with each day the Court’s injunction stays in place. (Mot. for Stay at

20 7-10; Rogers Decl. ¶¶ 6-10.) Finally, staying the injunction pending appeal will neither harm

21 competition nor impair the public interest; indeed, for the reasons set forth in the Stay Motion, a

22 timely stay will ensure that Qualcomm can obtain effective appellate review of the Order and

23 support the public interest. (Mot. for Stay at 20-22.)

24 Shortening the FTC’s time to respond to the motion will not impose any prejudice on the

25 FTC, which has been on notice of Qualcomm’s intent to move for a stay since May 24, 2019.

26 (Williams Decl. ¶ 10.)


27 In light of the gravity of the Court’s injunction, the substantial risk of irreparable harm

28 that could be caused by any undue delay, and the lack of prejudice to the FTC, Qualcomm

Case 5:17-cv-00220-LHK Document 1496-1 Filed 05/28/19 Page 2 of 3

1 DECLARATION OF BRYN WILLIAMS

2 I, Bryn Williams, declare and state that:


3 1. lam an attorney licensed to practice law in the State of California and am an

4 attorney at the law firm of Keker, Van Nest & Peters, LLP, counsel for Defendant Qualcomm

5 Incorporated. I submit this declaration in support of Qualcomm’s Motion to Change Time. I

6 have knowledge of the facts set forth herein, and if called upon as a witness, I could testify

7 competently under oath.

8 2. On May 21, 2019, this Court issued Findings of Fact and Conclusion of Law (the

9 “Order”), ECF No. 1490, and entered judgment in favor of the FTC in the above-captioned

10 matter. ECF No. 1492.

11 3. On May 28, 2019, Defendant filed a Motion for Stay Pending Appeal (the “Stay
12 Motion”).

13 4. As detailed in the Stay Motion and in the accompanying declaration of Alex

14 Rogers, the Court’s Order would impose irreparable harm to Qualcomm if not stayed pending

15 appeal by requiring Qualcomm to immediately change longstanding licensing and sales

16 practices, renegotiate hundreds of license agreements, and force Qualcomm to offer exhaustive

17 licenses to competing chip makers.


18 5. As detailed in the Stay Motion and in the accompanying declaration of Alex

19 Rogers, many of these changes would be impossible to unwind if the Order were overturned. For

20 example, Qualcomm would not be able to unwind licensing agreements it has renegotiated in the

21 shadow of an Order that is later overturned.

22 6. As detailed in the Stay Motion, staying the injunction pending appeal will neither

23 harm competition nor impair the public interest.

24 7. Given these circumstances, Qualcomm believes that expedited consideration of

25 the Stay Motion is appropriate, and that substantial harm and prejudice would occur if the Court

26 does not shorten time to hear the Stay Motion. The probability of irreparable harm detailed in

27 the Stay Motion and in the accompanying declaration of Alex Rogers increases with each day the

28 Court’s injunction stays in place.

Case 5:17-cv-00220-LHK Document 1496-1 Filed 05/28/19 Page 3 of 3

1 8. In accordance with Civ. L.R. 6-3(a)(5), a list of all previous time modifications in

2 this case, whether by stipulation or Court order is attached to this declaration as Exhibit A,

3 9. As this Court has entered judgment in favor of the FTC, the requested time
4 modification would have no effect on the schedule for the case.

5 10. Before filing this motion, Qualcomm attempted to obtain a stipulation to the

6 requested time change. Undersigned counsel for Qualcomm emailed counsel for the FTC on

7 Friday, May 24, 2019, requesting that the FTC stipulate to the relief sought in this motion and
8 offering to meet-and-confer further. Counsel for the FTC responded by email the same day,
9 stating without further explanation that “[t]he FTC will not stipulate to the request to shorten
10 time.”

11 I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on this
12 28th day of May 2019, in San Francisco, California.
