Civil Action No.: 07-489 SLR
JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
MOTION TO FILE SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT Plaintiffs InterDigital Communications, LLC and InterDigital Technology Corp. (collectively, "InterDigital") move this Court to amend its First Amended Complaint to include a new patent, U.S. Patent No. 7,286,847 ("the `847 patent"), which issued from the United States Patent and Trademark Office on Tuesday, October 23, 2007. The Complaint in this matter was filed on August 7, 2007 citing infringement of two separate patents, U.S. Patent Nos. 7,117,004 and 7,190,966. InterDigital amended its complaint to add a third patent, U.S. Patent No.
6,973,579, as a matter of right on September 28, 2007. Now that the `847 patent has issued, InterDigital requests that it also be added to this matter. This action is early in its pendency and, in fact, no Scheduling Order has yet been entered. A party may amend its pleading "by leave of court or by written consent of the adverse party; and leave shall be freely given when justice so requires." Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a). Federal

Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a) "reflects a general presumption in favor of allowing a party to amend its pleadings." Commodity Futures Trading Commission v. American Metal Exchange Corp., 693 F. Supp. 168, 189 (D.N.J. 1988) (citing Boileau v. O'Hare, et al., 730 F.2d 929 (3d Cir. 1984); see also 3 James Wm. Moore et al., Moore's Federal Practice ¶ 15.14[1] (3d ed. 2006) ("A liberal, pro-amendment ethos dominates the intent and judicial construction of Rule 15(a)."). The decision whether to grant leave to amend a complaint is an exercise of the discretion of the district court. 3 James Wm. Moore et al., Moore's Federal Practice ¶ 15.14[1] (3d ed. 2006). But "[t]he policy that a court should freely grant amendments limits a court's ability to deny leave to amend, and in a proper case, may warrant a finding of abuse of discretion in denying leave." Id. "In the absence of any apparent or declared reason--such as undue delay, bad faith or dilatory motive on the part of the movant, repeated failure to cure deficiencies by amendments previously allowed, undue prejudice to the opposing party by virtue of allowance of the amendment, futility of amendment, etc.--the leave sought should, as the rules require, be `freely given.'" Foman v. Davis, 371 U.S. 178, 182 (1962). The burden is on the non-moving party to show that it would be unduly prejudiced by the amendment. Sanders v. Clemco Ind., 823 F.2d 214, 217 (8th Cir. 1987). Defendants cannot make that showing. Copies of the Second Amended Complaint and a blackline version are attached at Tabs 1 and 2 respectively. A proposed Order is also attached.
