ALTERA CORPORATION,

Plaintiff,

v.

PAPST LICENSING GMBH & CO. KG,

Defendant.

Case No. 14-CV-04794-LHK 

ORDER DISMISSING CASE

Re: Dkt. No. 69

On July 9, 2015, the Court granted Defendant Papst Licensing GmbH & Co. KG’s 

(“Papst”) motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction. ECF No. 57 (“July 9, 2015 dismissal 

order”). On August 7, 2015, Altera Corporation (“Altera”) filed a notice of appeal to the United 

States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. ECF No. 62.

On June 9, 2016, the Federal Circuit granted Altera’s unopposed motion to vacate the July 

9, 2015 dismissal order as moot in light of subsequent developments in parallel litigation between 

Papst and Altera. ECF No. 69 at 2 (Federal Circuit remand order and mandate). The Federal 

Circuit therefore vacated the July 9, 2015 dismissal order and remanded the instant case with

The July 9, 2015 dismissal order was entered in both in the instant case and in a related 

declaratory judgment action filed by Xilinx, Inc. against Papst. See Case No. 14-CV-04963, ECF 

No. 62. The combined order of dismissal was reported at Xilinx, Inc. v. Papst Licensing GmbH & 

Co. KG, 113 F. Supp. 3d 1027 (N.D. Cal. 2015). The Federal Circuit’s remand order vacating the 

July 9, 2015 dismissal order as moot is limited to the instant case involving Altera, No. 14-CV04794, and did not vacate the July 9, 2015 dismissal order as to Xilinx. See ECF No. 69 at 2. 

Xilinx’s appeal of the July 9, 2015 dismissal order remains pending. See Appeal No. 15-1919.
