Re: Somerset Pharmaceuticals, Inc. v. Dudas, C.A. No. 07-279 (GMS)
Dear Judge Sleet:
This office represents Somerset Pharmaceuticals, Inc., the plaintiff in this matter. On May 22,
2007, we filed a complaint, motion for preliminary injunction and opening brief in support of that
motion seeking, inter alia, an interim patent term extension with respect to a patent which is currently
set to expire in August. The defendant has tiled its answering brief and today we filed our reply brief on
the motion for preliminary injunction. The motion is therefore ripe for Your Honor’s consideration.
While we are content that the parties’ briefs adequately treat the issues presented, we respectfully
request that in the event that the Court is inclined to hear oral argument, that a hearing be scheduled in .
an expedited manner in order that Somerset’s highly time—sensitive and valuable patent rights may be
preserved.
Thank you for Your Honor’s consideration of this request. We are prepared to respond to the
COIlI'IZ’S questions and comments at Your Honor’s convenience.
Respectfully submitted, ;
/s/ David E. Wilks
