District courts have discretion to control their dockets by staying patent infringement cases pending resolution of post-grant review by the Patent Trial and Appeal Board. Some districts stay cases more frequently than others, and some factual circumstances prove more important to a grant. This program will include a discussion of recent data on stay orders, and provide some considerations related to overall litigation strategy when it is likely that a patent challenger will seek to stay the district court case pending review by the PTAB.
