This is a patent infringement case. This matter is before the Court on the Parties’ joint

18

status report, which requests that the Court continue the stay in this case until a mandate is issued

19

in a forthcoming appeal of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (the “PTAB”) decision, dated

20

January 25, 2023, which found that certain of the patent claims at issue, including all the claims

21

at issue in this case, were invalid. Dkt. No. 122 at 2.

Having reviewed the relevant record, the Court finds that a stay would facilitate the

organized and efficient management of this case and GRANTS the Parties’ request. This case is

STAYED

until the mandate is issued in the forthcoming appeal of the January 25, 2023, PTAB

ORDER - 1
