F5 Networks, Inc. v. Radware, Inc.

Filing 136

ORDER ON MOTION TO STAY by Judge Vince Chhabria: Granting 101 Motion to Stay. (lsS, COURT STAFF) (Filed on 11/8/2017)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

F5 NETWORKS, INC.,

Case No. 17-cv-03166-VC

Plaintiff,
ORDER RE MOTION TO STAY

v.

Re: Dkt. No. 101
RADWARE, INC.,
Defendant.
RADWARE, INC. and RADWARE, LTD.,
Counterclaim-Plaintiffs,
v.
F5 NETWORKS, INC.,
Counterclaim-Defendant.

For the reasons discussed at today's hearing, the motion to stay the litigation on
Radware's counterclaims is granted pending completion of the proceedings at the PTAB. In
addition, all substantive motion practice in the case – including for F5's claims against Radware
– is stayed. While the PTAB proceedings are pending, however, the parties may proceed with
discovery relating to F5's claims against Radware, and any motions relating to that discovery
may be filed. Although there was discussion at the hearing of allowing discovery to proceed on
the two claims Radware is asserting against F5 that are not part of the PTAB proceedings, the
Court has determined that permitting this discovery in advance of the PTAB's decision would not
be appropriate.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: November 8, 2017
