Idenix Pharmaceuticals LLC et al. v. Gilead Sciences Inc. et al., C.A. Nos. 13-1987-LPS, 14-109-LPS, 14-846-LPS, November 22, 2016.
Stark, C. J. Defendants’ motion to continue the trial date is denied. Other pretrial rulings issue.
The possibility that the Federal Circuit may soon decide the validity of the patent-in-suit, or that plaintiff may prevail on appeal and that the trial issues could be combined with issues in a trial on a different patent, are insufficient reasons to justify postponing this trial. Plaintiff’s motion to preclude evidence or argument that plaintiffs characterize as irrelevant is denied. Disputes regarding trial procedures are addresses.
