Plaintiff American Navigation Systems, Inc. (“AmNav”) and Defendants Samsung 

Electronics Co., Ltd. and Samsung Electronics America, Inc. (collectively “Samsung”)1

hereby submit this stipulation and proposed order. 

WHEREAS, on March 6, 2015, Samsung, Apple Inc. (“Apple”), and non-party Google 

Inc. filed two petitions with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“PTO”) for administrative 

inter partes review of asserted U.S. Patent No. 5,902,347 (“’347 Patent”), numbered 

IPR2015-00849 and IPR2015-00851. 

WHEREAS, “Courts have inherent power to manage their dockets and stay 

proceedings, including the authority to order a stay pending conclusion of a PTO 

reexamination.” Ethicon, Inc. v. Quigg, 849 F.2d 1422, 1426-27 (Fed. Cir. 1988) (internal 

citations omitted); Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. v. LG Elecs., Inc., No. 14–cv–01012–SI, 

2015 WL 545534, at *2 (N.D. Cal. Feb. 9, 2015). 

WHEREAS, Samsung urges that it is in the interests of the Parties and the Court to 

stay the above-captioned case pending final resolution of the inter partes review petitions and 

associated proceedings pertaining to the ’347 Patent. 

WHEREAS, AmNav does not oppose a stay that would last until the PTO decides 

whether to institute inter partes review (Dkt. No. 106). 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by and between AmNav and Samsung, 

and subject to the approval of the Court, that:2

1. The entirety of this case shall be stayed pending the decision by the PTO 

whether to institute inter partes review in response to the two petitions. If the PTO institutes 

inter partes review, the stay will continue through final resolution; in the event that the PTO 

has not instituted inter partes review within the timeframe set forth by 35 U.S.C. § 314(b), 

the stay will expire without further action by the Court. All remaining hearings and deadlines 

 

1

 Samsung Telecommunications America LLC merged into Defendant Samsung Electronics 

America, Inc. as of January 1, 2015, and no longer exists as a separate entity. Dkt. No. 69. 

2

 Apple and AmNav are filing a substantively identical stipulation and proposed order in their 

case.

set forth in the Initial Scheduling Order (Dkt. No. 102) are therefore hereby vacated. 

2. In the event the PTO (i) denies inter partes review on all petitioned grounds for 

any claim of the ’347 Patent, or (ii) dismisses an inter partes review proceeding in whole or 

in part following institution, AmNav intends to file a motion requesting that the Court lift this 

stay. All briefing and argument pertaining to such a motion shall be conducted according to 

the Federal Rules, Local Rules, and Standing Orders of this Court.
