`ORDER
`
`Case No. 2:22-cv-00077-JRG-RSP
`
`
`
`Before the Court defendants LG Electronics, Inc. and LG Electronics USA, Inc. move to
`
`stay the case pending a determination of inter partes review (“IPR”). Dkt. No. 38. As the motion
`
`indicates, a petition for IPR has been filed, but the Patent Trial and Appeal Board has not acted on
`
`that petition. “In this district, courts usually deny motions for stay when the PTAB has not acted
`
`on a petition for inter partes review.” Perdiemco LLC v. Telular Corp., 2017 WL 2444736, at *2
`
`(E.D. Tex. June 6, 2017) (citing Trover Group, Inc. v. Dedicated Micros USA, 2015 WL 1069179,
`
`at *6 (E.D. Tex. Mar. 11 2015) (“In this district, that is not just the majority rule; it is the universal
`
`practice.”)).
`
`
`
`
`
`Accordingly, the motion is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE as premature.
