`
`PLAINTIFFS’ UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR AN EXTENSION OF TIME
`FOR DEFENDANTS TO RESPOND TO THE COMPLAINT
`
`Plaintiffs Emerson Electric Co., Fisher-Rosemount Systems, Inc., and
`
`Rosemount Inc. (collectively, “Emerson” or “Plaintiffs”) hereby file this motion
`
`for a 60-day extension of time for the Defendants to answer or otherwise respond
`
`to the complaint. Defendants support this motion. (See Petite Decl., ¶3).
`
`Each of the Defendants has agreed to waive service of the summons
`
`pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(d), and the waivers were filed with
`
`the Court on November 27, 2013. Currently, the due date for the Defendants to
`
`answer or otherwise respond to the complaint is December 28, 2013. Plaintiffs and
`
`Defendants have been and continue to be involved in licensing discussions that, if
`
`
`
`Case 1:13-cv-02528-AT Document 18 Filed 12/13/13 Page 2 of 3
`
`successful, will settle the present action. (See Petite Decl., ¶¶2-3; Groves Decl.,
`
`¶¶2-3). To allow more time for an agreement to be reached, Plaintiffs request a 60-
`
`day extension of the date by which Defendants must answer. If the present motion
`
`is granted, the new due date will be February 26, 2014.

`Dated: December 13, 2013
