routine
The Dusseldorf LD granted InterDigital's request for further written pleadings under R. 36 RoP. The defendants had raised a new non-infringement argument for the first time in the rejoinder (disputing claim feature interpretation) and made FRAND-related arguments. The court applied the due process principles from Scandit v. Hand Held Products: the claimant should have an opportunity to address new arguments. For FRAND arguments, the court referenced the Dolby v. Beko approach that each party should have two opportunities to comment.
