Defendant.
These three related cases are currently stayed pending the completion of proceedings

23

before the Patent Trial and Appeals Board (“PTAB”), or further order of the Court. See, e.g.,

24

Software Rights Archive, LLC v. Facebook, Case No. 12-cv-03970-HSG, Dkt. No. 106. In an

25

email dated December 2, 2016, the PTAB indicated that it “has received the Federal Circuit’s

26

mandate, and will issue any necessary orders in due course.” See, e.g., Facebook, Dkt. No. 117-4

27

(Exhibit D to December 9, 2016 joint status report). The most recent joint status report, dated

28

March 10, 2017, states that “[n]either the Patent Trial & Appeal Board nor the U.S. Patent &

1

Trademark Office has taken any action in the relevant inter partes review proceedings since the

2

parties’ previous report.” See, e.g., Facebook, Dkt. No. 128. The Court hereby ORDERS the

3

parties to file a joint status report regarding the status of the PTAB proceedings either (1) within

4

five days of the entry of any further order by PTAB or (b) on or before June 7, 2017 if the PTAB

5

has not entered an order by that date.

6

IT IS SO ORDERED.
