`
`ST 0 AG,
`

`
`MOTION BY PETITIONER STONCOR GROUP, INC. FOR TWO MONTH
`EXTENSION OF DISCOVERY AND CONSEQUENT RESETTING OF DATES
`
`Petitioner StonCor Group, Inc. hereby moves for a two month extension of discovery and
`
`consequent resetting of all dates in this matter.
`
`Discovery in this case is currently scheduled to close on 1 March 2015.
`
`As a by-product of representing StonCor Group, Inc. as the defendant in on-going patent
`
`infringement litigation over the past thirteen (13) months in the United States District Court for
`
`the District of New Jersey (the case is captioned Ronald Mark Associates v. StorzCor Group, Inc.,
`
`cv 13-7446), StonCor’s undersigned counsel has been unable to devote adequate time to the
`
`instant cancellation proceeding as respecting discovery and settlement possibilities.
`
`The attached declaration by StonCor’s counsel presents in detail some, but not all, of the
`
`activity in the Ronald Mark v. StonCor matter that has caused StonCor’s undersigned counsel to
`
`need additional time to develop StonCor’s case, to answer discovery that has been propounded
`
`by Sto AG on StonCor, and to explore in depth the very real and desirable possibility of
`
`settlement between these parties.

`
`Accordingly StonCor moves for a two month extension of discovery and consequent
`
`resetting of dates.

`
`DECLARATION OF CHARLES N. QUINN
`
`l.
`
`1, Charles N. Quinn, hereby declare that I am a citizen of the United States,
`
`residing at 419 Bowen Drive, Exton, Pennsylvania, 19341, a partner in the law firm of Fox
`
`Rothschild LLP having my principal office at 747 Constitution Drive, Suite l00, Exton,
`
`Pennsylvania, 19341, a member in good standing of the Bar of the Supreme Court of the
`
`Commonwealth of Pennsylvania holding registration number 17,603 therein, admitted in good
`
`standing to practice in patent matters before the United States Patent and Trademark Office
`
`pursuant to registration 27,223, and am the attorney of record for the Petitioner, StonCor Group,
`
`Inc., in the above—referenced matter.
`
`2.
`
`I have represented StonCor Group, Inc. and its predecessors—in-interest in
`
`intellectual property matters for nearly 30 years.
`
`3.
`
`StonCor Group was sued for patent infringement a little over one year ago.
`
`I am
`
`the principal lawyer defending StonCor against the charge of patent infringement in that matter.
`
`The case is Ronald Mark Associates, Inc. v. StonCor Group, Inc., civil action l3-7446, pending
`
`in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, in Camden, New Jersey. My
`
`work in representing StonCor in defending that suit has occupied a large, excessive amount of
`
`28980448v1 02/12/2015 4:32 PM
`
`l
`
`07611043901/pleadings
`
`

`
`my time, especially in the period from 1 September 2014 through the present. During that time
`
`the work has been extremely intense due to the schedule required under the Local Patent Rules of
`
`the District of New Jersey.
`
`I have studied well over 100 prior art references, developed
`
`StonCor’s contentions as regarding invalidity of the two patents in suit based on those
`
`references, developed StonCor’s non-infringement contentions regarding sixty-three claims at
`
`issue in the litigation and have engaged in numerous discovery disputes with extremely
`
`aggressive, indeed unreasonable, opposing counsel.
`
`4.
`
`Due to my representation of StonCor as its principal lawyer defending the charge
`
`of patent infringement and asserting counterclaims of invalidity and non-infringement in the
`
`Mark v. StonCor case, I have not had sufficient time to devote to the instant cancellation
`
`proceeding on behalf of StonCor.
`
`5.
`
`By email I have twice requested counsel for Sto AG that discovery be extended in
`
`light of my inability to deal with this case adequately on behalf of StonCor. Neither of the
`
`requests that I have made to counsel for Sto AG. have been answered. Counsel for Sto AG has
`
`been silent as respecting the possibility of extension of the discovery period. While StonCor has
`
`served paper discovery on Sto AG, the discovery period will expire before Sto AG’s responses
`
`are due. StonCor needs the discovery period extended in order to receive and to evaluate Sto
`
`AG’s responses to StonCor’s outstanding discovery and to possibly serve additional paper
`
`discovery or to take discovery depositions.
`6.
`I hereby declare, under penalty of perjury pursuant to 28 USC 1746, that all
`
`statements made herein are true and that all statements made herein on information and belief are
`
`believed to be true and further that I realize that false statements and the like so made herein are
`
`punishable by fine, or imprisonment or both, under 18 USC 1001 et seq.
