`
`LILA NATURAL COSMETICS, INC.,
`
` For the mark: SCOTCH NATURALS
`

`

`
`Applicant.
`
` Published: November 15, 2011
`
`
`
`JOINT MOTION TO EXTEND TIME FOR FILING ANSWER FOR GOOD CAUSE
`
`3M Company (“3M”) and Lila Natural Cosmetics, Inc. (“LNC”) herby jointly move to
`
`suspend the time to file an answer along with all other discovery and trial deadlines in this matter
`
`by thirty (30) days pursuant to 37 CFR § 2.117 and TBMP § 510.
`
`
`
`In the Board’s November 8, 2013 Order, the Board required that the parties make a
`
`showing of good cause for any future motions to extend or suspend, including a status report of the
`
`parties’ settlement negotiations. Since the date of the parties’ last motion, the parties have
`
`continued to negotiate and finalize the terms of a proposed settlement agreement (the
`
`“Agreement”). The parties have exchanged multiple drafts of the Agreement over the last several
`
`months. The latest version of the settlement agreement was exchanged on November 13, 2013.
`
`Nearly all of the terms in the Agreement are resolved and the parties currently just have a
`
`couple of remaining items they are negotiating. Counsel for the parties last discussed these
`
`remaining items just today (November 15, 2013) and are now in the process of discussing these
`
`few remaining items with and getting feedback from their clients. The parties anticipate that
`
`
`60075 001 ck154302j3
`
`
`
`
`
`they will exchange a new draft of the settlement agreement within a week. The parties are
`
`hopeful that they can work out the details of these remaining items in a matter of weeks.
`
`Settlement discussions have been complicated in this matter by, among other things, the
`
`fact that several business units requiring approval are involved. Further, settlement between the
`
`parties also has been complicated by matters involving third-parties.
`
`The parties believe that an additional 30 days will be sufficient to negotiate and settle the
`
`outstanding issue and finalize the Agreement. As a result, the parties hereby move to suspend all
`
`remaining dates an additional 30 days based on the schedule outlined below.
