The plaintiff in a patent infringement action brought a motion to compel the defendants to produce additional financial information and records relating to the use of the allegedly infringing mine doors, and to make officers available for cross-examination.
The court dismissed the motion, finding that the statement of claim did not plead an accounting of profits against the co-defendant purchaser, and that the request against the manufacturer defendant was premature as the plaintiff had not yet conducted examinations for discovery to identify specific missing documents.
