TENTATIVE ORDER RE: MOTION
TO AMEND
Re: Dkt. No. 107

SEOUL SEMICONDUCTOR
COMPANY, LTD.,
Defendant.
The Court has reviewed the parties’ briefs on plaintiffs’ motion to add a defense of

17

inequitable conduct. The Court is inclined to grant plaintiffs’ request and permit the

18

addition of the defense in this case, because it appears that EDD was reasonably diligent in

19

pursuing discovery and there appears to be little prejudice to the defendant. The parties

20

should be prepared to further discuss EDD’s diligence and any likely prejudice that

21

defendant will suffer from the amendment at the hearing on September 23.

22

Additionally, the parties should be prepared to propose any modifications, if

23

necessary, to the current schedule should the Court grant plaintiffs’ motion. The Court

24

does not intend to alter the dates for hearing dispositive motions or the trial date.

25
26

IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: September 22, 2015
