Before the Court is defendant’s motion, filed September 12, 2013, for leave to file a
motion for partial summary judgment as to one of the four patents at issue in the abovetitled action. Plaintiff has filed opposition, to which defendant has replied.
Having read and considered the parties’ respective written submissions, the Court
finds it preferable to address the issues raised by the proposed summary judgment motion
at the same time as the Court addresses the summary judgment motion to be directed at
the other three patents-in-suit. In particular, by that later date, not only the Court in
resolving those issues, but also the parties in structuring their respective arguments, will
have heard and can reference the evidence offered at the tutorial and, hopefully, will have
had the benefit of one or more decisions clarifying the subject of patentability as well.
_____________________
* The sole amendment is to vacate the scheduled hearing.
