This oral hearing is a short session (each side will have 15 minutes) for each party to present arguments supplementing those in the briefs that were filed with the Court earlier this year. The date set by the Court is November 2, 2009. National Union has informed CombiMatrix that it will seek a continuance of the argument to early December, due to a conflict with its attorneys’ schedules.
