`TCL’S SECOND UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO ANSWER

`Plaintiffs Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. and ATI Technologies ULC (collectively,
`
`“AMD”) filed the Complaint in this action on May 5, 2022 (Dkt. 1) against, among others,
`

`

`
`International Limited, and TCL Smart Device (Vietnam) Co., Ltd, Manufacturas Avanzadas SA
`
`de CV, TCL Electronics Mexico, S de RL de CV, and TCL Overseas Marketing Ltd.
`
`(collectively, “TCL”).
`
`AMD alleges to have served six of the TCL entities on May 17 and May 18, 2022.
`
`(Dkt. 11‒16.) AMD believes that the service on these six entities was proper, whereas TCL
`
`disputes that this service was proper. AMD has not yet served the remaining seven TCL entities.
`
`On June 7, 2022, TCL filed a first unopposed application for extension of time for the six
`
`served TCL entities to respond to the Complaint. (Dkt. 17.) The Court granted the first
`
`unopposed application, and the current deadline for response to the Complaint is July 7, 2022.
`
`TCL and AMD have reached an agreement whereby TCL will waive service of the
`
`complaint for all TCL entities in exchange for an extension of time to respond to the Complaint
`
`to August 22, 2022.
`
`Based on the foregoing, TCL moves for a second unopposed extension of time to answer
`
`or otherwise respond to the Complaint for an additional 45 days, to and through August 22,
`
`2022.1 The requested extension is not sought for any improper purpose and would not unduly
`
`prejudice any part or suit. In fact, the collective 75 days of extension of time to answer for the
`
`earliest allegedly served TCL entities is less than the 90-day extension of time that would be
`
`provided under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4 for waiver of service by a foreign entity.
`
`Counsel for TCL has conferred with counsel for AMD. This motion is unopposed.
`
`Therefore, TCL requests the Court extend the time to answer or otherwise respond to the
`
`Complaint to and through August 22, 2022.
`
`1 The 45-day period counting from July 7, 2022 ends on August 21, 2022, a Sunday. Hence,
`TCL seeks an extension of time to the following business day, August 22, 2022.
