`C.A. No. 1:17-cv-12194
`
`
`
`
`FOUNDATION MEDICINE INC.’S UNOPPOSED MOTION TO STAY
`THE CASE PENDING INTER PARTES REVIEW
`
`Defendant Foundation Medicine, Inc. (“FMI”) hereby moves the Court to stay this case
`
`until the Patent Trial and Appeal Board issues Final Written Decisions in the five instituted inter
`
`partes review proceedings concerning four of the asserted patents: IPR2019-00164, -00166,
`
`-00170, -00171, and -00203. As set forth more fully in FMI’s accompanying Memorandum in
`
`Support of Its Unopposed Motion to Stay the Case Pending Inter Partes Review, the early stage
`
`of the litigation, the potential for simplifying the issues in question and trial, and the absence of
`
`undue prejudice or a clear tactical disadvantage to the nonmoving party all favor a stay.
`
`Accordingly, the Court should stay this case.
