`Case No. 15-cv-05007-RS
`
`
`
`ORDER VACATING HEARING AND
`REQUESTING FURTHER BRIEFING
`RE PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR A
`STAY
`
`
`
`
`
`CORE WIRELESS LICENSING S.A.R.L.,
`
`v.
`
`APPLE INC.,
`
`Plaintiff,
`
`Defendant.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Plaintiff moves to stay this litigation with respect to four of the five patents in suit, in light
`
`of recently-instituted inter partes review (“IPR”) proceedings before the U.S. Patent and
`
`Trademark Office. In response, defendant Apple, Inc. notes that it ordinarily advocates staying
`
`litigation pending the resolution of parallel IPR proceedings. Apple opposes the requested stay
`
`here, however, on grounds that it would not serve judicial efficiency and would result in prejudice
`
`to proceed with litigation of one of the five patents in suit, while staying the balance of the action.
`
`Although Apple suggests that the stay motion be denied outright, it does not argue that a stay of
`
`the entire action would raise similar efficiency and prejudice concerns, or would otherwise be
`
`improper.
`
`Apple’s contentions regarding the inadvisability of a partial stay appear to have merit.
`
`Accordingly, no later than June 10, 2016, plaintiff shall file a supplemental brief, not to exceed
`
`five pages, setting out whether it is amenable to a stay of the entire action, and, if not, any reasons
`
`it believes such a stay should not be imposed. The motion for a stay will then be submitted
