MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES

Dioptics Medical Products, Inc., is the owner of several registered trademarks 

incorporating “Polar” in Trademark International Classification Code 009. On April 19, 2006 

Dioptics filed suit against BEI alleging that BEI’s registered marks and graphics mark application 

infringed Dioptics’s Polar Family of Marks. See Complaint, ¶¶14-18. The parties have been in 

settlement negotiations and are close to finalizing a settlement agreement. Dioptics files this 

consent motion for an extension of the deadlines listed in the below chart. 

BEI consents to this motion. Lee Decl., ¶¶ 3 and 6, Ex. A. The parties have not filed a 

joint stipulation because BEI’s counsel, Mr. Benjamin B. Reed, is not admitted to practice law in 

the State of California and is not admitted Pro Hac Vice in this proceeding.
