A Blog About Intellectual Property Litigation and the District of Delaware


The District Court today extended its ban on jury trials through August 31.

Chief Judge Stark had previously scheduled at least one jury trial for early August, but then rescheduled it after plaintiff raised fairness questions and pointed out the continued rise in the number of COVID-19 cases.

The Delaware state courts are likewise still in Phase Two of their reopening plan (no jury trials). Yesterday Law360 also reported that the Court of Chancery pushed this months' Tesla/SolarCity 10-day bench trial out to 2021 due to Coronavirus safety concerns.
