(collectively, “T-Mobile”); and OnePlus Technology (Shenzen) Co., Ltd. and OnePlus Mobile

Plaintiff’s Opposed Motion for Leave to Amend the Complaint to Assert U.S. Patent No. 7,769,050

On April 3, 2024, Plaintiff Valtrus Innovations Ltd. (“Valtrus”) filed its 

Opposed Motion for Leave to Amend the Complaint to Assert U.S. Patent No. 7,769,050 (“Motion 

to Amend”) (Dkt. 72). Defendants’ deadline to file their response to the Motion to Amend is April 

17, 2024. See Local Rule CV-7(e). At this time, Defendants request a brief one-week extension 

of time to file their response to Valtrus’ Motion to Amend. See id. (“Any party may separately 

move for an order of this court lengthening ... the response period.”). 

Defendants represent that this extension is not sought for the purposes of delay but rather 

so that justice may be served. Counsel for Defendants met and conferred with counsel for Valtrus, 

and counsel for Valtrus indicated that Valtrus is unopposed to the relief sought in this Motion for 

Extension. 

Accordingly, Defendants respectfully request that this Court grant this Unopposed Motion 

and enter an order extending the deadline for Defendants to file their response to Valtrus’ Motion 

to Amend up to and including April 24, 2024.
