`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 third
`
`motion for a 30-day extension of time for the Defendants to answer or otherwise
`
`respond to the complaint. Defendants support this motion. (See Petite Decl., ¶3).
`
`Currently, the due date for the Defendants to answer or otherwise respond to
`
`the complaint is April 27, 2014. Plaintiffs and Defendants have been and continue
`
`to be involved in licensing discussions that, if successful, will settle the present
`
`action. (See Petite Decl., ¶¶2, 4; Groves Decl., ¶¶2-3). The parties have made
`
`significant progress on the terms of the agreement. Indeed, there are only two

`
`¶3). To allow more time for an agreement to be reached, Plaintiffs request a 30-
`
`day extension of the date by which Defendants must answer. If the present motion
`
`is granted, the new due date will be May 27, 2014.
