`
`CONSENT MOTION FOR AN EXTENSION OF ANSWER DEADLINE AND STATUS
`REPORT
`
`
`
`Applicant School Zone Publishing Company, with the consent of Opposer Apple Inc.
`
`hereby submits the following status report and motion for an extension of the Answer deadline.
`
`1. On December 8, 2020, Applicant submitted proposed settlement terms to Opposer to
`
`address concerns raised by Opposer in the Notice of Opposition.
`
`2. Opposer has had a settlement proposal under internal advisement. The adverse impacts
`
`associated with, and the restrictions put in place because of, COVID-19 affected that review.
`
`Opposer continues to review the settlement proposal.
`
`3. The current motion for extension is not being made for purposes of delay but, instead,
`
`is made to allow those discussions to occur and, if necessary, for further negotiations toward a
`
`resolution. As both sides remain engaged in working towards settlement in this matter, it is in the
`
`interest of the Board and the parties to extend dates to focus on settlement.
`
`4. In consideration of the information provided herein, Applicant and Opposer
`
`respectfully submit that there is good cause for an extension and respectfully request that this
`
`21605785.4
`
`
`
`
`
`matter be extended 30 days, with answer, conference, disclosure, discovery and trial dates reset as
