`
`
`
`IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
`FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS
`WACO DIVISION
`
`
`ANCORA TECHNOLOGIES, INC.,
`
`
`Plaintiff,
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`v.
`
`GOOGLE, LLC,
`
`Defendants.
`
`
`Civil Action No. 6:21-cv-00735-ADA
`
`JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`JOINT STATUS REPORT REGARDING DKT. 34 ORDER STAYING CASE
`
`Pursuant to the Court’s Order Granting Motion to Stay Pending Inter Partes Review
`
`(Dkt. 34 (“Order”)), Defendants Google, LLC, and Plaintiff Ancora Technologies, Inc.
`
`respectfully submit this joint status report.
`
`The Court ordered that the “parties shall submit a joint status report within 10 days
`
`after each issuance of Final Written Decisions in the Nintendo IPR and the VIZIO/Roku
`
`IPR, or by March 10, 2023, whichever is earlier.” (Order at 1.) The Patent Trial and
`
`Appeal Board issued a Final Written Decision in Nintendo’s IPR on January 25, 2023. See
`
`Final Written Decision Determining All Challenged Claims Unpatentable, Paper 48,
`
`Nintendo Co., Ltd. v. Ancora Techs., Inc., No. IPR2021-01338 (P.T.A.B. Jan. 25, 2023)
`
`(“Final Written Decision”) (sealed, public version forthcoming). Although Google has not
`
`yet had the opportunity to review that sealed document, Ancora has represented that, in the
`
`Final Written Decision, the Board found all challenged claims 1–3, 6–14, and 16 invalid.
`
`Id. at 2. This encompasses all claims asserted in the instant case.

`
`request to continue the stay of proceedings in the instant case until issuance of mandate in
`
`the forthcoming appeal.
