ENPLAS DISPLAY DEVICE 

CORPORATION, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

SEOUL SEMICONDUCTOR 

COMPANY, LTD.,

Defendant.

Case No.13-cv-05038-NC 

TENTATIVE ORDER RE: MOTION 

TO AMEND

Re: Dkt. No. 107

The Court has reviewed the parties’ briefs on plaintiffs’ motion to add a defense of 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

IT IS SO ORDERED.
