Before the Court is Defendants’ Motion fo r an Early Hearing on Inequitable Conduct (Dkt. No. 53).

After considering the arguments, the court denies the motion. In patent cases, this court has routinely conduc ted bench trials on the issue of inequitable conduct during jury deliberations or after the verdict has been rece ived.
