`
`
`On April 3, 2020, Patent Owner emailed a request seeking an
`
`extension to file preliminary responses in the subject cases pursuant to the
`
`USPTO’s Notice of Waiver of Patent-Related Timing Deadlines under the
`
`Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “Notice”).
`
`Counsel’s email represents that “the COVID-19 outbreak . . . . has
`
`materially interfered with the preparation and timely filing” of preliminary
`
`responses in the subject cases, as Patent Owner’s counsel closed its Los
`
`Angeles, California offices and took other precautionary measures pursuant
`
`to city-wide restrictions.
`
`Pursuant to the Notice, the panel grants Patent Owner’s request for a
`
`30-day extension to file preliminary responses in the subject cases, rendering
`
`the due date May 18, 2020.
`
`So Ordered.
