AMGEN INC., Plaintiff, v. F. HOFFMANN-LA ROCHE LTD ROCHE DIAGNOSTICS GmbH and HOFFMANN-LA ROCHE INC. Defendants.

CIVIL ACTION No.: 05-CV-12237WGY

DEFENDANTS' MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE REPLY IN FURTHER SUPPORT OF MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT THAT AMGEN IS ESTOPPED FROM ASSERTING INFRINGEMENT UNDER THE DOCTRINE OF EQUIVALENTS FOR THE ASSERTED CLAIMS OF THE `933 AND `422 PATENTS Pursuant to Local Rule 7.1(B)(3), Defendants F. Hoffmann-La Roche LTD, Roche Diagnostics GmbH and Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. ("Roche") seek leave to file the attached reply in support of their Motion for Summary Judgment that Amgen is Estopped from Asserting Infringement Under the Doctrine of Equivalents for the Asserted Claims of the `933 and `422 Patents (Docket No. 620). As grounds for this motion, Roche states that Amgen's opposition papers (Docket Nos. 716 and 718) raise new points that Roche has not yet had an opportunity to address. Roche believes that the attached reply, which is only 8 pages long, will assist the Court in ruling on the pending motion because it clarifies the issues and responds to the new points raised in Amgen's opposition.
