`INTRODUCTION
`I.
`On January 3, 2018, Judges Weinschenk, Boudreau, and Harlow held
`a telephone conference call with counsel for LSI Corp. and Avago
`Technologies U.S., Inc. (“Petitioners”) and counsel for Regents of the
`University of Minnesota (“Patent Owner”). A court reporter was present on
`the conference call. This Order summarizes statements made during the
`conference call. A more complete record may be found in the court
`reporter’s transcript, filed by Patent Owner as Exhibit 2003.
`II. ANALYSIS
`Patent Owner requested that we stay the instant proceeding pending
`appellate review of the Order Denying Patent Owner’s Motion to Dismiss
`(Paper 19) based on Eleventh Amendment immunity. Petitioners opposed
`Patent Owner’s request. After considering the respective positions of the
`parties, we hereby authorize Patent Owner to file a motion to stay, and we
`adopt a briefing schedule consistent with that outlined during the conference
`call. Specifically, we authorize Patent Owner to file a 10-page motion to
`stay by January 9, 2018; Petitioners to file a 10-page opposition to Patent
`Owner’s motion to stay by January 16, 2018; and Patent Owner to file a 3-
`page reply to Petitioners’ opposition by January 23, 2018.
`III. ORDER
`In consideration of the foregoing, it is hereby:
`ORDERED that Patent Owner is authorized to file a 10-page motion
`to stay by January 9, 2018;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioners are authorized to file a 10-
`page opposition to Patent Owner’s motion to stay by January 16, 2018;

`on Patent Owner’s motion to stay.
