Summary: Procedural order by the Mannheim Local Division judge-rapporteur granting Palo Alto Networks (defendant) a two-week extension of the deadline for its rejoinder and related filings in patent infringement proceedings brought by Centripetal Ltd. The extension was justified by the exceptional circumstance that the defendant's key technical support employee was resident in Israel and could not safely return due to flight restrictions resulting from the outbreak of hostilities in the region.
