How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• recognizing that the issues are still simplified “when a claim survives the reexamination proceeding” because reexamination “facilitate[s] trial . . . by providing the district court with the expert view of the PTO”
• noting that \stays to enable reexamination do not foreclose review on the merits by a federal court\
• noting that “[o]ne purpose of the reexamina- tion procedure is to eliminate trial of that issue (when the claim is canceled)”
• noting that “stays to enable reexamination do not foreclose review on the merits by a federal court”
• stating that a stay in deference to PTO reexamination proceedings “is not for such a protracted or indefinite period as to render its issuance an abuse of discretion”
• stating that “because district courts have broad discretionary powers to control their dockets, stays will not be vacated unless they are immoderate and of an indefinite duration”
