SDNY COURTHOUSE,
April 15 – Italian
lighting company Reggiani
S.p.A. Illuminazione was sued
in 2018 under patent law by
Philips Lighting North America
Corporation. But now in April
2020, Reggiani says it can't
respond due to Covid-19.
In an
April 15 hearing before U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Edgardo Ramos live
tweeted by Inner City Press,
Reggiani's lawyer Maria Luisa
Palmesa asked for a five month
continuance because of the
lock-down in Milan. She said
executives are not being paid.
Judge
Ramos first proposed a three
month delay, then cut it to
two months. He told Palmese,
We can't just shut everything
down. Palmese said her client
couldn't pay legal fees. How
many lawsuits, in the SDNY and
elsewhere, will die on this
basis?
Inner City Press will continue
to cover this. This case is
Signify North America
Corporation et al v. Reggiani
Lighting USA, Inc. et al.
18-cv-11098 (Ramos).
