Patent Law

The following is excerpted from the "Defendants? Third Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time to Respond to Plaintiffs? Motion for Leave to File Second Amended Complaint" filed on November 16, 2009 in the Hydro-Quebec v. A123 Systems case:

Defendants A123 Systems, Inc., Black & Decker Corporation, Black & Decker (U.S.) Inc., and China BAK Battery Inc. hereby request a 76-day extension to January 31, 2010 to file their response to Plaintiffs? Motion for Leave to File Second Amended Complaint (Dkt. No. 77). In support of this Motion, Defendants state that, although the parties were optimistic that this matter would be resolved by this time, the parties have not yet fully resolved this dispute. Defendants further state that the negotiations among the parties are complicated, involving many parties inside and outside the United States, but the parties are working diligently on a negotiated resolution and respectfully requests the Court?s indulgence of time to complete the process, which is aimed at a complete resolution of this lawsuit.
