ORDER canceling hearing set for 11/18/2011; setting amended briefing schedule on plaintiffs' motion for permanent injunction. Signed by District Judge Barbara B. Crabb on 11/8/2011. (llj)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - NOVOZYMES A/S and
NOVOZYMES NORTH AMERICA, INC.,
ORDER
Plaintiffs,
10-cv-251-bbc
v.
DANISCO A/S,
GENENCOR INTERNATIONAL WISCONSIN, INC.,
DANISCO US INC. and DANISCO USA INC.,
Defendants.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - After the jury awarded plaintiffs Novozymes A/S and Novozymes North America, Inc.
more than $18 million for infringement by defendants Danisco A/S, Genencor International
Wisconsin, Inc., Dansico US Inc. and Danisco USA Inc. of U.S. Patent No. 7,713,723,
plaintiffs requested a hearing on their motion for a permanent injunction. Although I
originally scheduled a hearing for November 18, upon further reflection I believe that it
would be a wiser use of judicial resources to follow the court’s normal practice for resolving
similar motions in patent cases. That is, I will decide plaintiffs’ motion for an injunction in
the context of resolving any other postverdict motions filed by the parties. If I conclude that

1

a hearing is necessary after reviewing the parties’ submissions, I will schedule one at that
time.

ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that the hearing on plaintiffs Novozymes A/S’s and Novozymes
North America, Inc.’s motion for a permanent injunction scheduled for November 18, 2011,
is CANCELED. Defendants Danisco A/S, Genencor International Wisconsin, Inc., Danisco
US Inc. and Danisco USA Inc. may have until November 23, 2011 to file a brief in
opposition to plaintiffs’ motion. Plaintiffs may have until December 2, 2011, to file a reply
brief. The previous order giving defendants until November 14, 2011, in which to file a brief
in opposition to plaintiffs’ motion for a permanent injunction is rescinded.
Entered this 8th day of November, 2011.
