IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS 

WACO DIVISION 

NEONODE SMARTPHONE LLC, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO. LTD, and 

SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS AMERICA, 

INC., 

Defendants.

Civil Action No. 6:20-cv-00507-ADA 

JURY TRIAL DEMANDED 

UNOPPOSED MOTION TO STAY THIS ACTION PENDING 

DECISION ON APPLE’S MOTION TO TRANSFER VENUE 

Defendants Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. and Samsung Electronics America, Inc. 

(collectively “Samsung”) respectfully move for a stay pending a decision on Apple’s pending 

Motion to Transfer Venue to the Northern District of California. 

This case is coordinated for pretrial activities with the Neonode v. Apple case (Case 

No. 6:20-cv-00505). Apple has moved to transfer its case against Neonode to the Northern 

District of California. Samsung is informed and believes that Neonode and Apple have agreed to 

stay activity in that case unrelated to transfer until the Court decides Apple’s pending Motion to 

Transfer. To promote efficiency and in an attempt to keep these two coordinated cases on the 

same schedule to Markman, Samsung has requested to also stay this case pending the Court’s 

decision on Apple’s Motion to Transfer. Neonode does not oppose Samsung’s request. 

For the foregoing reasons, Samsung requests that the Court stay this case pending a 

decision on Apple’s Motion to Transfer Venue. 

Dated: December 7, 2020 

Respectfully submitted, 

/s/ John M. Guaragna
