(IN CHAMBER) Order to Show Cause re Stay of Proceedings

On June 14, 21012, the Court granted summary judgment in favor of
the defendant in Network Signatures, Inc. v. State Farm Mutual Automobile
Insurance Company, SACV 11-0982 JVS (RNBx) (Docket No. 51). In part, the
Court held that U.S. Patent No 5,511,122 (“’122 Patent”) was invalid based on the
inequitable conduct of Network Signature Inc.’s (“Network Signatures”) licensor.
(Docket No. 51, p. 19.)
The ’122 Patent is asserted in each of the above listed cases. The

Court’s ruling in State Farm would appear to be equally dispositive of the claims in
these cases.
The Court orders the parties to show cause in writing within ten days
why these cases should not be stayed pending the Federal Circuit’s disposition of
Network Signature’s anticipated appeal in State Farm. The Court will conduct a
hearing at 10:00 a.m on July 2, 2012. A failure to file a response will be deemed
acquiescence in the Court’s proposed course of action.
For their information, the Court is sending a copy to other judges who
are presiding over similar Network Signature cases.
In the interim, all proceedings are stayed.
