Loyalty Conversion Systems Corporation v. American Airlines Inc, No. 2:13-cv-00655 (E.D. Tex. July 29, 2014)

From the Opinion

The passage below is extracted verbatim from the opening of the document. It has not been editorially summarized — consult the full opinion for the court's complete reasoning.

Before the Court is the Defendants’ Motion to Stay Proceedings (Dkt. No. 63). The defendants seek the stay pending “covered business method” (“CBM”) review by the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”) as to the validity of the two patents in suit in this case. The Court will postpone ruling on the motion until the PT AB decides whether to grant or deny the defendants’ petition for review. The question whether to stay proceedings pending CBM review by the PTAB is a matter committed to the district court’s discretion. See Virtual Agility, Inc. v.
