MEMORANDUM AND ORDER ON STAY OF PROCEEDINGS
SAYLOR, D.J.
This is a patent dispute involving medical monitoring devices. Plaintiff has brought suit
against multiple defendants for patent infringement; all actions have been consolidated for
pretrial purposes pursuant to an order of the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation. On
November 2, 2012, this Court granted defendant Philips’s motion to stay the suit pending
reexamination of the patents-in-suit by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. After a
hearing, the Court orders that the stay is applicable to all consolidated cases, subject to
subsequent motions to modify or vacate for good cause shown.
So Ordered.
