`Patent 8,530,171 B2
`
`Patent Owner Pfenex, Inc. (“Pfenex”) requested a one-month
`extension of time for filing its Preliminary Response in this proceeding. See
`Ex. 3001. Pfenex states that good cause exists for the extension because
`another case involving the same parties and a motion to amend has an oral
`hearing set at essentially the same time as Pfenex’s Preliminary Response is
`due in this case. Id. Pfenex also points out that its expert is the same in both
`cases and coordinating efforts with that expert in these cases during the
`COVID-19 pandemic has been challenging. Id.
`Pfenex states that Petitioner GlaxoSmithKline SA (“GSK”) does not
`oppose this extension. Id. On August 12, 2020, we granted Pfenex’s request
`for a one-month extension of time, see id., and are entering this Order to
`confirm such grant for good cause as described above. 37 C.F.R.
`§ 42.5(c)(2).
`
`
` ORDER
`
`Accordingly, it is
`ORDERED that Pfenex’s request for a one-month extension of time to
`file its Preliminary Response in this proceeding is granted.
