ORAL ORDER: IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that a teleconference has been scheduled for June 29, 2018 at 3:15 p.m. regarding the motion to amend (D.I. 105 ). No further submissions are needed. Counsel for Plaintiff(s) shall initiate the teleconference call to 302-573-4571. ORDERED by Judge Leonard P. Stark on 6/25/18. (ntl) (Entered: 06/25/2018)

ORAL ORDER: Having reviewed the parties' submissions (see, e.g., D.I. 106, 107, 109), IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiffs' motion for leave to file a Second Supplemental Complaint (D.I. 105) is GRANTED. The proposed pleading is neither futile nor untimely. The Court understands there to be no per se bar on supplementing a complaint to assert ongoing infringement of a patent claim in its presently-existing state, in light of the issuance, during the pendency of a lawsuit, of a Certificate of Correction. See Finjan, Inc. v. Proof point, Inc., 2014 WL 6386727, at *2 (N.D. Cal. Nov. 14, 2014) ("Many courts have found that amending or supplementing the complaint to add a certificate of correction is appropriate in order to apply the certificate of correction to infringing acts that occur after the date the certificate issues."). Defendants may press their contentions as this case proceeds in the context of (for example) claim construction and invalidity arguments. Plaintiffs did not unduly delay, as they provided notice of their reliance on the Certificate within two weeks of its issuance (in their infringement contentions) and filed their motion for leave approximately four months later, at a time that does not unduly prejudice Defendants (given, for instance, that the parties are still engaged in fact discovery, claim construction briefing has not even begun, and the deadline for amended pleadings is still a month away). The Court further agrees with Plaintiffs that the requested relief promotes judicial efficiency, far more than the alternative of initiating an entirely new patent lawsuit. The teleconference scheduled for tomorrow, June 29, is CANCELLED. ORDERED by Judge Leonard P. Stark on 6/28/18. (ntl) (Entered: 06/28/2018)
