Motion for Protective Order Denied
On August 5, 2009, ALJ Rogers issued the public version of his July 14, 2009, Order denying respondent’s motion for a protective order in Inv. Nos. 337-TA-667 and 673, In the Matter of Certain Electronic Devices, Including Handheld Wireless Communications Devices. In its motion, respondent Palm, Inc. sought to preclude Complainant Saxon Innovations, LLC from accusing the Palm Pre phone of infringement on the basis that Saxon failed to include the device in relevant interrogatory responses by the applicable deadline. ALJ Rogers concluded that Palm was on notice before the applicable deadline of the fact that Saxon was accusing Palm of infringement and thus failed to show good cause for issuance of a protective order.
