STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO CONTINUE CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE AND STAY OF CASE
EDWARD M. CHEN, District Judge.
This case presently is scheduled for a Case Management Conference on Thursday, May 29, 2014. The Joint Case Management Conference Statement is due on May 22, 2014. The parties respectfully request that the Court continue the Case Management Conference until Thursday, July 31, 2014 at 9:00 a.m. or to a date convenient to the Court thereafter, and continue the stay of the case, for the following reasons:
1. At the last Case Management Conference on February 27, 2014, the Court ordered that the case would be stayed at least until the May 29, 2014 continued Case Management Conference, so that the Court and the parties could know the outcome of GeoTag's case against Google in the District of Delaware (Microsoft Corporation et al. v. GeoTag, Inc., Civil Action No. 11-00175-RGA), which involves the same GeoTag patent as is involved in this case, and which was scheduled to go to trial in April 2014.
2. In April 2014, the District of Delaware issued an order denying Google's motions for summary judgment of laches and invalidity and granting Google's motion for noninfringement. The public version of the Court's Memorandum Opinion is Docket No. 477, filed April 22, 2014.
3. The Delaware court, however, asked the parties in that case to address whether, in light of the recent Federal Circuit case of Microsoft v. Datatern, No. 2013-1184, 2014 WL 1327923 (Fed. Cir. April 4, 2014), the Delaware court had subject matter jurisdiction. GeoTag's and Google's briefing on that issue is ongoing and is scheduled to be completed on May 22, 2014.
4. The parties to this action believe that judicial economy, as well as the economy of the parties, is served by allowing the parties and the Court to know the outcome of the Google case before proceeding with this case. Accordingly, the parties hereby respectfully request that the Court continue the Case Management Conference currently scheduled to take place on May 29, 2014 until Thursday, July 31, 2014 at 10:30 a.m. in the Courtroom of the Honorable Edward M. Chen, Courtroom 5-17th Floor, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94102, or to a date convenient to the Court thereafter, and to continue the stay of this case until that continued Case Management Conference.
PURSUANT TO STIPULATION, IT IS SO ORDERED.
