`
`and declarations,
`
`and concern issues
`
`such as whether
`
`SSIE-19.1
`
`
`
`Respondents’ products infringe the ‘847 Patent, whether the ‘S47 Patent is valid in light of
`
`certain prior art, whether the ‘84? Patent meets the best mode requirement of 35 U.S.C. § 112,
`
`and whether the ‘84? Patent is enforceable. While ACPI will endeavor to file as many responses
`
`to the multiple summary determinations as possible on the current due date (r’.e.. Wednesday.
`
`July 16, 2008), due to the volume and complexity of the multiple motions for summary
`
`determination, as well as the logistics of filing these responses, AC PI believes that a brief two (2)
`
`day extension of time is appropriate. Accordingly, in order to ensure that ACPI is able to brief
`
`fully each issue so that the Administrative Law Judge can consider the multiple complex issues
`
`involved in this investigation, ACPI believes that good cause exists to grant its request for a brief
`
`two (2) day extension of time.
`
`Pursuant to Ground Rule 3(ii)_. ACPI has conferred with C0'.lI‘1S€l
`
`for Respondents and the
`
`Staff regarding their positions on the instant motion for extension. Respondents and the Staff do
`
`not oppose the instant motion and. in the event that the extension i.~. granted. Respondents and the
`
`Staff request a similar extension for their responsive briefs. ACPI ioes not oppose Respondents‘
`
`and the Staffs reciprocal request.
`

`
`RSIE-W I
`
`
`
`Accordingly, for the foregoing reasons, ACPI respectfully submits that good cause exists
`
`to extend the deadline to respond to the motions for summary determination by two (2) days and
`
`requests that all such responses be due on or before July 18, 2008.
