Samsung loses bid to pause Caltech patent lawsuit over wireless chips
The HinduSamsung Electronics Co. failed to convince an East Texas federal court on Friday to pause the California Institute of Technology's high-stakes patent lawsuit against it while it challenges the patents' validity at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. U.S. District Judge Rodney Gilstrap said halting the lawsuit until the Patent Trial and Appeal Board reviews the patents would unnecessarily delay the court case and prejudice Caltech. Samsung asked the Texas court to freeze Caltech's case against it until the reviews finish, arguing the lawsuit was at an early stage and the PTAB decisions would simplify the issues. Gilstrap also said a pause would "require the parties to sink additional resources into the case," which has already been going on for over a year, "all the while postponing Caltech's vindication of its patent rights."
