`

`

`
`
`
`Case No. 22-cv-01832-WHO
`
`
`ORDER GRANTING UNOPPOSED
`MOTION FOR LEAVE TO AMEND
`INFRINGEMENT CONTENTIONS
`
`Re: Dkt. No. 57
`
`
`
`On October 12, 2022, plaintiff R.N Nehushtan Trust Ltd. (“RNN Trust”) filed an
`
`unopposed motion to amend its August 5, 2022, Disclosure of Asserted Claims and Infringement
`
`Contentions. Dkt. No. 57. On October 26, 2022, defendant Apple Inc. (“Apple”) filed a response
`
`confirming that it did not oppose the motion. Dkt. No. 58.1
`
`
`
`Patent Local Rule 3-6 allows for the amendment of the infringement contentions by court
`
`order “upon a timely showing of good cause.” RNN Trust has made such a showing. It seeks to
`
`amend its infringement contentions to include Apple’s latest generation of iPhones, Apple
`
`Watches, iOS, and watchOS, which were launched on or around September 16, 2022—after RNN
`
`Trust served its infringement contentions. Dkt. No. 57 at 3:3-15, 4:8-20. RNN Trust timely acted
`
`upon this new information; it sent Apple the proposed amended contentions and claim charts on
`
`September 27, 2022, and filed this motion about two weeks later. See id. at 4:26-27. And there is
`
`no indication that Apple will be unduly prejudiced by any such amendment, as shown by its non-
`
`opposition to this motion. See Patent Local R. 3-6 (listing “[n]on-exhaustive examples of
`
`
`1 Although the motion was unopposed, RNN Trust noticed a November 30, 2022, hearing “in the
`event the court prefers to hold a hearing.” Dkt. No. 57 at 2:9-11. A hearing is not necessary, as
`this uncontested motion can be decided without oral argument pursuant to Local Rule 7-1(b). The
`November 30, 2022, hearing date is VACATED.

`
`circumstances that may, absent undue prejudice to the non-moving party, support a finding of
`
`good cause”).
`
`RNN Trust’s unopposed motion is therefore GRANTED. RNN Trust shall serve its
`
`amended infringement contentions within three days of the issuance of this Order.
`
`IT IS SO ORDERED.
