CORE WIRELESS LICENSING S.A.R.L.,

Plaintiff,

v.

APPLE INC.,

Defendant.

Case No. 15-cv-05007-RS 

ORDER VACATING HEARING AND 

REQUESTING FURTHER BRIEFING 

RE PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR A 

STAY

Plaintiff moves to stay this litigation with respect to four of the five patents in suit, in light 

of recently-instituted inter partes review (“IPR”) proceedings before the U.S. Patent and 

Trademark Office. In response, defendant Apple, Inc. notes that it ordinarily advocates staying 

litigation pending the resolution of parallel IPR proceedings. Apple opposes the requested stay 

here, however, on grounds that it would not serve judicial efficiency and would result in prejudice 

to proceed with litigation of one of the five patents in suit, while staying the balance of the action. 

Although Apple suggests that the stay motion be denied outright, it does not argue that a stay of 

the entire action would raise similar efficiency and prejudice concerns, or would otherwise be 

improper.

Apple’s contentions regarding the inadvisability of a partial stay appear to have merit. 

Accordingly, no later than June 10, 2016, plaintiff shall file a supplemental brief, not to exceed 

five pages, setting out whether it is amenable to a stay of the entire action, and, if not, any reasons 

it believes such a stay should not be imposed. The motion for a stay will then be submitted
