Court Extends Deadline to Nov. 4 for Nanosys Patent-Infringement Response 

Nanosys’ deadline was extended to Nov. 4 for filing a response to NNCrystal’s patent infringement complaint, said a stipulation and order signed Wednesday by U.S. District Judge Richard Andrews in Wilmington, Delaware. NNCrystal’s July lawsuit alleged Nanosys produces quantum-dot materials at its Silicon Valley plant using processes that infringe a 13-year-old patent on nanocrystal manufacturing (see 1907150019). The University of Arkansas board of trustees, which actually owns the patent and licenses it exclusively to NNCrystal, joined the case as a co-plaintiff in mid-September (see 1909140001).
