notable
Comprehensive interim conference order in companion infringement/counterclaim proceedings. The Hamburg LD articulated a 'lines of demarcation' test for R. 30.1(c) RoP — the decisive question is whether auxiliary requests introduce more than two or three distinct lines of demarcation in patent content. The court admitted a second round of patent amendments under R. 30.2 RoP after initially questioning whether they were a direct response to new prior art or merely addressed pre-existing clarity/disclosure issues. Citing the preamble principles of proportionality and fairness, the court found the amendments limiting and non-drastic.
