CONSENT MOTION TO EXTEND BRIEFING SCHEDULE
Pursuant to Circuit Rule 31-2.2(b), Defendant-Appellant
Qualcomm Incorporated (“Qualcomm”) respectfully moves to extend the
briefing schedule. Qualcomm proposes, and Plaintiff-Appellee the
Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) consents to, the following briefing
schedule:
• August 23, 2019: Qualcomm files its Opening Brief;
• October 25, 2019: the FTC files its Answering Brief;
• November 15, 2019: Qualcomm files its Reply Brief.
Qualcomm has been diligently litigating this case. (Declaration of
Yonatan Even (“Even Decl.”) at ¶¶4.) Nonetheless, given the
importance of the issues raised on appeal, the complexity thereof, the
length of the District Court’s Order and the need of potential amici to
assess the extensive record, Qualcomm has a substantial need for an
extension. (Id.) Qualcomm therefore respectfully requests a modest two
week extension of its briefing schedule (and a three week overall
extension of the briefing schedule), as noted above.
The FTC consents to Qualcomm’s request. (Even Decl. ¶5.) The
FTC has noted that if Qualcomm were to file an opening brief that is
1
substantially in excess of the default word-count limitation, the FTC
would likely need a corresponding extension of time to prepare and file
its responsive brief. Qualcomm’s counsel has informed the FTC that, in
that event, Qualcomm would not oppose an additional extension of the
briefing schedule.

DECLARATION OF YONATAN EVEN
I, Yonatan Even, declare as follows:
1. I am a member of the law firm Cravath, Swaine & Moore
LLP, counsel for Defendant-Appellant (“Qualcomm”) in the above
captioned matter. I have personal knowledge of the matters set forth
below and if called to testify to them, could do so competently.
2. Qualcomm filed its Notice of Appeal on May 31, 2019. On
June 3, 2019, this Court set the following briefing schedule
(Dckt. No. 1):
• September 9, 2019: Qualcomm to file its Opening Brief;
• October 8, 2019: FTC to file it Answering Brief;
• October 29, 2019: Qualcomm to file its Answering Brief.
3. On July 8, 2019, Qualcomm, with the consent of Plaintiff-
Appellee (the “FTC”), asked this Court to expedite the appeal
(Dckt. No. 12). On July 10, 2019, this Court granted the request to
expedite (Dckt. No. 15), setting the following briefing schedule:
• August 9, 2019: Qualcomm to file its Opening Brief;
• October 4, 2019: FTC to file its Answering Brief;
• October 25, 2019: Qualcomm to file its Reply Brief.

4. Qualcomm has exercised diligence in pursuing this appeal.
Nonetheless, given the importance of the issues raised in the appeal,
the complexity thereof, the length of the District Court’s Order
(at 233 pages) and the need of potential amici to assess the extensive
record in this case, Qualcomm has a substantial need for a short two
week extension of the date for filing its Opening Brief, to August 23,
2019.
5. On July 29, 2019, I communicated with Michele Arington,
Assistant General Counsel for Litigation and counsel of record for the
FTC in this matter, who indicated that the FTC consents to
Qualcomm’s request for an extension, subject to the FTC obtaining a
three week extension of the filing date of its Answering Brief, to October
25. Qualcomm consents to this extension, and will be prepared to file
its Reply Brief within 21 days thereafter, on November 15, 2019.
6. Qualcomm will continue to exercise diligence in pursuing
this appeal and will file its briefs within the time requested.
7. The court reporter is not in default with regard to any
designated transcripts.
8. I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the
United States that the foregoing is true and correct.
Dated: July 30, 2019 Respectfully submitted,
By: /s/ Yonatan Even
