MONSANTO’S MOTION TO STAY OR, IN THE ALTERNATIVE,
TO SCHEDULE THE ANTITRUST CLAIMS ON A SEPARATE
TRACK FROM THE PATENT LITIGATION
Defendants Monsanto Company and Monsanto Technology LLC (collectively
"Monsanto") move this Court to stay discovery and other proceedings on Syngenta’s
Sherman Act § 2 Amended Complaint until the resolution ofthe Monsanto Shah patent
claims, or in the alternative, to schedule discovery and trial ofthe antitrust claims on a
track separate from the schedule currently in place for the patent claims. Pursuant to L.R.
7.1.1., after discussion among counsel, Monsanto has been informed that, while Syngenta
will oppose a stay, Syngenta is in agreement with establishing a separate schedule for the
discovery and trial of its antitrust claims.
The grounds for this Motion are more fully set forth in Monsanto’s Opening Brief
in support ofthe Motion, filed contemporaneously herewith.
