question for anyone...does anyone know if its common for the defendants in a patent lawsuit to contact the company filing suit to ask for time to respond. seems odd, though i have no clue and it may be common.
(RTTNews) - SmartMetric, Inc. (SMME.OB) said on Thursday that both defendants, namely MasterCard Inc. (MA) and Visa Inc. (V), have contacted SmartMetric concerning its patent infringement lawsuit. Both defendants have requested time to respond. By agreement responses will be made by both credit card companies in May 2010.
