jjff: It looks like it will take some time before IDCC's (IR Licensing's) appeal of the one patent to CAFC will be finalized.

IPR Licensing filed their primary initial brief on 7/20/2018. ZTE's response was due on 9/28/2018. However, IPR Licensing also questioned the constitutionality of 35 USC 6, which is the PTAB statute. Because of this action, CAFC has temporarily stayed the case.

From the case docket:

09/14/2018 26 Notice from Appellant IPR Licensing, Inc. Regarding Constitutionality of 35 U.S.C. 6.

09/18/2018 27 ORDER filed. Notice of the appellant's constitutional challenge [26] is hereby certified to the Attorney General. No later than 30 days from the date of filing of this order, the Attorney General is directed to inform this court whether the United States intends to intervene in this appeal. The proceedings in the above-captioned appeal are stayed.
