Nanoptix seeking to amend these dates and amend its Answer and Counterclaims,<br />

as set forth below.<br />

The relevant facts supporting Nanoptix's proposed amended pleading are set<br />

forth in detail in Nanoptix's Statement of Uncontroverted Facts in support of its<br />

Motion for Summary Judgment of Invalidity Regarding the '855 Patent, and<br />

Nanoptix's proposed amended pleading. (Doc.# 56, III[ 9-47 ); Yowell Decl.,<br />

Exhibit A, I[!1[29-55. In summary, Nanoptix alleges that FutureLogic, the inventor<br />

Mark Meyerhofer and the patent attorney representing FutureLogic made false<br />

representations to the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("PTO")<br />

concerning the offer for sale, sale and public use of printers that are covered by the<br />

'855 Patent. Id. As Nanoptix's Motion for Summary Judgment makes clear, there<br />

can be no dispute that the claimed invention is invalid under the on sale and public<br />

use bars of 35 U.S.C. § 102(b), and it is likewise clear that the critical material<br />

evidence supporting the '855 Patent's invalidity was withheld and misrepresented<br />

to the PTO. ld.<br />

On July 27 and 28, 2011, Nanoptix conducted the deposition of the inventor<br />

Mark Meyerhofer and the facts concerning the inequitable conduct at issue<br />

surfaced. Yowell Decl., q[ 6. Following the Meyerhofer deposition, on August 4,<br />

2001, FutureLogic produced additional emails and letters containing more detailed<br />

information regarding at least the critical non-disclosure agreements with Coca-<br />

Cola. ld. 112. Finally, on August 25,2011 FutureLogic served its Third<br />

Nanoptix, Inc.'s Motion For Leave To File Amended Answer<br />

with Inequitable Conduct Counterclaim and Defen_<br />
