Judge Godbey Denies Motion to Stay Patent Case Pending Inter Partes Review

On June 17, 2015, Judge Godbey issued an Order (availableĀ here) in Lakesouth v. Ace Evert. The Order denied the defendantsā€™ motion to stay pending inter partes review. Judge Godbey found the fact that the patent in suit already went through an eight year reexamination to weigh against a stay, as did the nearly one year delay in requesting IPR, that one of the defendants was not a party to the IPR, and that trial will be set for January 2016.
