Fabius, to me this suggests they want to see if they come to a settlement. The delay was instituted by IPCI. Think about it. If you had a potential partner on line, would the partner want to buy in on a drug that could be held up for years in litigation and more stall tactics by Purdue? or would it make more sense to negotiate a settlement, give Purdue a piece of the royalties and get them to drop all opposition by Purdue? That would give a green light to any potential partner.

this does not mean they will reach a settlement. However, this a delay of months. becuase the conference in December would then just set up a new court date months away. why would IPCI want to delay this further? The only reason is they want to get it settled for some reason.

The actual court order reads in part;

The Court shall hold a telephonic case status conference on December ___, 2018 to
determine the status of the litigation and to set a new trial date, as appropriate.

and make no mistake about it, this was instituted by IPCI and would serve to delay themselves. so why would they? see this note

The Court will decided later if the 30-month stay should be extended as the delay here is 100% caused by Defendants. Signed by Judge Richard G. Andrews on 10/4/2018.
