finding four month delay not diligent

Summary of this case from Aylus Networks, Inc. v. Apple, Inc.

finding that a motion to amend was taken in bad faith where, after the court granted a defendant's motion for summary judgment, plaintiff moved to amend "as a last-ditch attempt to avoid the case being dismissed in its entirety."

Summary of this case from Dauth v. Convenience Retailers, LLC

denying leave to amend the complaint to add a new patent-infringement claim because the motion had been made only after an adverse claim-construction order had been issued against the patentee and after briefing had closed on the competitor's motion for summary judgment on the patentee's existing claim, the patentee had made a tactical decision not to include the "new" claim at the outset of the litigation and shifted its strategy only after the "writing was on the wall," and the motion had been taken as a "last-ditch" attempt to avoid dismissal of the action in its entirety

Summary of this case from CHKRS, LLC v. City of Dublin
