`
`Before the Court is a renewed motion to stay this patent infringement case during
`
`the pendency of an Inter Partes Review (“IPR”) filed by Defendants ZTE Corporation, ZTE
`
`(USA) Inc., and ZTE (TX), Inc. (together, “ZTE”). [Doc. No. 169.] Plaintiff Bell Northern
`
`Research (“BNR”) has filed a notice of non-opposition in light of the Court’s order staying

`
`Case 3:18-cv-01786-CAB-BLM Document 171 Filed 02/19/20 PageID.9242 Page 2 of 2
`
`
`
`a related case involving some of the same patents. [Doc. No. 170.] Accordingly, in light
`
`of BNR’s non-opposition and because the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”) has
`
`instituted IPR on all of the patents at issue in this case, the motion to stay is GRANTED,
`
`and this case is STAYED, for all of the reasons set forth in the Court’s February 18, 2020,
`
`order staying Case Number 18-cv-1783.1 The parties shall provide notice to the Court
`
`when the proceedings before the PTAB are complete.
`
`In light of the foregoing, all pending motions [Doc. Nos. 158, 159, 160, 161, 162]
`
`are deemed WITHDRAWN, and the Clerk of Court is instructed to administratively close
`
`this case.
`
`It is SO ORDERED.

`Dated: February 19, 2020
