IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS
WACO DIVISION
WORLDS INC.,
Plaintiff,
v.
MICROSOFT CORPORATION;
Defendant.
CIVIL ACTION NO. 6:20-cv-872-ADA
JOINT MOTION TO STAY CASE
Plaintiff Worlds Inc. (“Worlds”) and Defendant Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”)
(collectively “Parties”) provide notice that on April 30, 2021 Judge Casper with the U.S. District
Court for the District of Massachusetts issued a summary judgment order finding all of the asserted
claims of U.S. Patent No. 8,082,501 at issue in the instant case invalid under 35 U.S.C. § 101.
Worlds Inc. v. Activision Blizzard Inc., No. 12-10576-DJC (Dkt. 358) (Ex. 1). The District of
Massachusetts entered final judgment the same day. See id. (Dkt. 359) (Ex. 2). Worlds intends to
appeal the summary judgment order and final judgment.
Accordingly, the parties respectfully request that the Court stay this case until completion
of the appeals process in World, Inc. v. Activision Blizzard, Inc., et al, Case No. 1:12-cv-10576 (D.
Mass.). Accordingly, the requested stay is not for delay but only to allow for an orderly resolution
of this lawsuit.
Granting this joint motion will preserve the Court’s and parties’ resources by suspending
all district court activity on the ’501 patent until resolution of the above appeal proceedings.
