alm-not sure where you practice, but in NY/NJ, it is lawyer common courtesy to grant 1 extension to the other side, especially with Hanukah, Xmmas, and New Year's during this time.
The only reciprocity that is promised is that if the plaintiffs need more time in a future pleading , defendants agree to grant it as well.
It is a no brainer-the judge will grant it in 1 second--even more with an infringement case.
We can all be hopeful for a settlement and amrn rise this weekend to $50---but this extension means zilch, 0.
