A magistrate judge has denied Apple’s request to stay a patent infringement action filed against the computer giant over its Siri personal assistant technology.
Northern District Magistrate Judge David Peebles (See Profile) ruled from Syracuse that discovery will proceed in Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute v. Apple, 1:13-cv-0633. Apple had sought the stay while the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office weighed the company’s petition for inter partes review [IPR] of 23 claims involving the ’798 Patent that Rensselaer and co-plaintiff Dynamic Advances are suing under.
