`
`IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
`
`FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
`
`UNILOC USA, INC.; and UNILOC
`LUXEMBOURG, S.A.,
`Plaintiffs,
`
` v.
`APPLE INC.,
`
`Defendant.

`
`No. C 18-00360 WHA

`
`ORDER SUA SPONTE
`STAYING CASES PENDING
`RESOLUTION OF IPR
`PROCEEDINGS
`
`The Court has reviewed the parties’ responses regarding staying the above-captioned
`
`actions (Case Nos. 3:18-cv-00360-WHA; -363-WHA; -365-WHA; -572-WHA). The Patent
`Trial and Appeal Board has instituted inter partes review on United States Patent No.
`6,216,158, United States Patent No. 6,446,127, and United States Patent No. 7,092,671 — three
`of the four currently valid patents-in-suit.
`While the showdown procedure is well underway and the parties desire to proceed at
`least with this round of early summary judgment motions, this order concludes that this is
`outweighed by the interest of conserving judicial and the parties’ resources. This is especially
`true given that the very claims selected for the showdown procedure are involved in the pending
`IPRs. Thus upon careful consideration, this order finds it more economical to let the IPR
`proceedings run their course first. Moreover, this order finds that United States Patent No.
`6,161,134 (“the ’134 patent”) is sufficiently related to the other patents-in-suit such that a stay
`with respect to the ’134 patent is also warranted.
