Judge Lynn Denies Motion to Stay Case Pending Ex Parte Reexamination

On December 18, 2015, Judge Lynn entered an Order (available here) rejecting the defendant’s request to stay the case pending resolution of its ex parte reexamination petitions for six of the eight patents-in-suit. The Court noted that the parties were direct competitors and that it was speculative whether a stay would simplify the issues. Because none of the relevant stay factors weighed in favor of a stay, the Court denied the defendant’s motion to stay.
