`CASE NO. 2:21-cv-00186-JRG
`
`JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
`
`DEFENDANTS SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD. AND SAMSUNG
`ELECTRONICS AMERICA, INC.’S MOTION TO STAY
`
` Defendants Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (“SEC”) and Samsung Electronics America,
`
`Inc. (“SEA”) (collectively, “Samsung”), respectfully request that the Court stay the above-
`
`captioned action pending resolution of Samsung’s Motion to Transfer Venue to The Northern
`
`District of California Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) (Dkt. No. 59).
`
`On July 27, 2022, Samsung’s Motion to Transfer Venue was completely briefed. The
`
`Federal Circuit has stated that it fully expects the movant to promptly request transfer and seek to
`
`stay proceedings pending disposition of the transfer motion, and for the district court to act on
`
`those motions before proceeding to any motion on the merits of the action. See In re Fusion-IO,
`
`Inc., 489 F. App'x 465, 466 (Fed. Cir. 2012). In light of the upcoming Markman hearing, and in
`
`view of the guidance from the Federal Circuit, Samsung respectfully requests that the Court stay
`
`further proceedings pending a ruling by the Court on Samsung’s Motion to Transfer Venue.
