Date Filed Document Text
January 4, 2010 Opinion or Order Filing 163 ORDER: IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff's motion 154 for leave to file its Fourth Amended Complaint is GRANTED. In this new complaint, Plaintiff adds U.S. Patent No. 7,036,730 ("the 730 patent") back into the case. This patent was withdrawn from the case about one month ago, in light of a finding of noninfringement of the patent, in another case in this Court. That finding, however, has since been vacated. The Court believes that under these circumstances, Plaintiff has made a sufficient showing of good cause to allow it to amend its complaint, under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16(b), by reasserting the '730 patent claim in the present suit. Nor will the amendment cause undue prejudice to Defendant or undue dela y. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that on or before January 14, 2010, the parties shall submit to the Court a new joint proposed scheduling plan, in lieu of the one submitted on October 23, 2009. Joint Scheduling Plan due by 1/14/2010. Signed by Magistrate Judge Audrey G. Fleissig on 1/4/10. (TRC)
