ORDER STAYING CASES 

PENDING RESOLUTION OF IPR 

PROCEEDINGS

Re: Dkt. No. 99

Case No. 15-cv-01986-HSG

Re: Dkt. No. 122

On October 30, 2015, the parties in these related cases filed a stipulation requesting to stay

the litigation pending resolution of inter partes review (“IPR”) proceedings. Case No. 15-cv00930-HSG, Dkt. No. 96; Case No. 15-cv-01986-HSG, Dkt. No. 118. Petitions for IPR of all 

three of the patents at issue in these cases were filed with the Patent Trial and Appeal Board 

(“PTAB”), and a decision on institution of IPR was expected from PTAB by April 2, 2016. Id. 

The parties requested that the litigation be stayed in its entirety until all IPR proceedings were

complete. Id. On November 3, 2015, the Court granted in part the parties’ stipulation and stayed 

the cases pending PTAB’s decision on institution of IPR. Case No. 15-cv-00930-HSG, Dkt. No. 

97; Case No. 15-cv-01986-HSG, Dkt. No. 120. The Court directed the parties to file a joint status 

report informing the Court of PTAB’s decision on the institution of IPR within five days of that

decision. Id.

Northern District of California

The Court has received the parties’ joint statement confirming that PTAB has instituted 

IPR proceedings as to the majority of the claims at issue in this litigation. Case No. 15-cv-00930-

HSG, Dkt. No. 99; Case No. 15-cv-01986-HSG, Dkt. No. 122. The Court agrees that a stay of 

these cases is warranted pending final resolution of those proceedings, and ORDERS both cases 

stayed. The parties shall file a brief joint status report regarding the IPR proceedings on August 1, 

2016, and every 90 days thereafter, unless otherwise directed. The parties also shall file a joint 

status report within five days of the issuance of PTAB’s final written decision. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
