Thats the general discovery issues for the case to proceed without entering the new crap Micron was pushing at the last minute.

It's that, or you have mistakenly identified this wrong...

"I do not remember specifically the Judge or Micron saying "inequitable conduct" defense was dropped but perhaps that is part of dropping the amended complaint, which by the way was dropped "without prejudice" (per Judge Huff)."

Though you note "amended complaint" The only thing defendant was looking to amend was its answer to complaint..based on its proposed hogwash.

If the amend issue was denied that is the only amend issue motioned for by the defendant.

Thing is, letgo put this up at the close yesterday.....

There has not yet been a formal filing noting : "dropping the amended complaint, which by the way was dropped "without prejudice" (per Judge Huff)."

Something is not yet formalized....

All we can do is wait and see what gets filed.
