v.
Corning
notable
JR Kupecz (Munich CD) rejected a 2-week deadline extension under R. 9.3(a) RoP for the revocation claimant's reply to the defense and application to amend. The claimant argued that the defendant's auxiliary requests introduced new technical features requiring extensive laboratory testing. The court held that complexity and ongoing experiments per se do not justify extensions, as the RoP timeframes are specifically designed for complex patent cases involving experimental evidence. The applicant failed to provide sufficiently concrete information about the nature, timing, and effort required for the tests to show objective impossibility of completing them in time. The court also rejected the argument that no impact on the procedural schedule would result, noting potential cascading effects on the defendant's subsequent submission.
