Antitrust requested additional information from Novell and CPTN Holdings, a consortium organized by Microsoft, back in February. Novell and CPTN complied with the request on March 4, but have agreed to give the Department of Justice more time to review the patent sale.
"At the request of the DOJ, the Company [Novell] and CPTN have agreed to provide the DOJ with additional time to review the patent sale and not to close the patent sale prior to April 12, 2011," Novell said in the SEC filing on March 4. "The Company remains committed to working with the DOJ as it conducts its review of the patent sale."
