No. C 03-05116 WHA
AMKOR TECHNOLOGY, INC.,
At the January 10 case management conference, the parties disputed the question of
19
whether the district court action could proceed on the issue of damages while other issues
20
continue before the FTC. Under In re Princo Corporation, 478 F.3d 1345, 1356 (Fed. Cir.
21
2007), the answer is no. The mandatory stay “of any district court determination of issues
22
pending before the Commission . . . extends to any district court ‘proceedings’ on a ‘claim’
23
involving issues pending before the Commission.” Id. Accordingly, the current stay order must
24
remain in effect. In an ex parte letter brief filed after the case management conference, however,
25
plaintiff now contends that defendant has not appealed the Commission’s decision with respect
26
to two of the three patents in the action, and that therefore those patents are no longer ‘pending
27
before the Commission.’ Plaintiff asks that the stay be lifted as to these two patents so that the
28
action can proceed in this district.

Defendant may respond to plaintiff’s submission in a brief of not more than four pages by
JANUARY 17 AT NOON. No replies, please.
