On August 11, 2010, this Court granted Defendant Sony Corporation and its affiliates’ Motion

16

to Stay the Proceeding Pending Reexamination. On June 26, 2012, the parties informed the Court

17

that an appeal was pending before the Patent and Trademark Office (“PTO”) and the parties

18

requested that the stay remain in place through the pendency of the appeal. The case has now been

19

stayed for approximately two and a half years. The Court hereby Orders the parties to submit a joint

20

status update on the re-examination process and the parties’ respective positions on whether the stay

21

should remain in place by no later than February 22, 2013. Going forward, the parties shall provide

22

status updates to the Court at regular four-month intervals, unless the status of the case changes or

23

the PTO takes some action on the re-examination process earlier, in which case the parties shall

24

provide a status update to the Court as soon as possible following the status change or PTO action.

25

IT IS SO ORDERED.
