IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ACCO BRANDS, INC.,

Plaintiff,

 v.

PC GUARDIAN ANTI-THEFT PRODUCTS,

INC. ET AL,

Defendants. /

No. C 04-03526 SI

ORDER DENYING DEFENDANTS’

MOTION FOR LEAVE TO BRIEF THE

CONSTRUCTION OF ADDITIONAL

TERMS

Before the Court is defendants’ motion for leave to brief the construction of additional terms.

The matter is scheduled for a hearing on November 9, 2007. Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7-1(b), the

Court determines that the matter is appropriate for resolution without oral argument, and VACATES

the hearing. 

The Court DENIES defendants’ motion. Defendants have failed to show good cause to overturn

the Court’s prior order limiting claim construction to two terms, “[g]iven defendants’ failure to respect

the Patent Local Rule deadlines.” September 20, 2005 Order at 8-9 n.7 [Docket No. 51]. The Court

ordered the parties to submit claim construction papers regarding “only the terms ‘maintaining said

locked configuration by use of a pin’ and ‘wherein said pin extends into said security slot.’” Id. at 13.

That order stands unless and until the Court determines that the construction of additional terms is

necessary. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
