`

`Ideal Candidate For a Stay
`

`
`Simplification — |PRs will undoubtedly narrow the case
`
`—
`
`asserted patents and claims w_iH be canceled
`
`-
`
`Timing is ideal
`
`-
`
`—
`
`—
`
`—
`
`No claim construction hearing yet
`
`Trial is a year away
`
`Fact and expert discovery still to be conducted
`
`no stay will result in major confusion at very difficult times
`

`
`No prejudice if case is stayed

`

`
`”indefinite stay”
`
`—
`
`9 months is not indefinite
`
`° Defendants took too long to file IPRS
`
`—
`
`—
`
`Initial round filed before initial disclosures
`
`Second round filed around invalidity contentions
`
`° Not enough |PRs are instituted
`
`—
`
`—
`
`—
`
`6 lPRs instituted against 4 (of 7) patents
`
`5 pending petitions, implicating the other 2 (of 7) patents
`
`Only 1 patent not covered by instituted or pending IPRs

`A Stay Will Simplify the Case
`

`
`lPRs are already working
`
`—
`
`2 patents dropped, with claims canceled
`
`° Virtual certainty of additional canceled claims
`
`— About half of challenged claims are canceled
`
`— About 86% of ”e|ectrica|/computer” claims are canceled in
`final written decisions
`
`-
`
`Case is unmanageable right now — 53,000 assertions

`No Stay Will Complicate the Case
`

`
`Institutions and Final Written Decisions due:
`
`—
`
`—
`
`—
`
`just as expert discovery is starting (1 FWD in January; 2 IDs in
`February);
`
`just as expert discovery is wrapping up (3 IDs in March; 1 FWD in
`March); and
`
`just as we are past summaryjudgment/daubert and ramping up
`for trial (2 FWDs in July)

`

`Conclusion
`
`- no prejudice to Plaintiffs if the case is stayed
`
`- the case would be greatly simplified by letting the
`|PRs run their course
`
`- the case would be greatly complicated if not stayed
`
`° procedurally, this is the ideal time to stay the case
