Wilmington, DE 19801
Re: Telcordia Technologies, Inc. v. Cisco Systems, Inc., C.A. No. 04-8'l6 {GMS;
Dear Judge Sleet:
We represent Cisco in this action.
ln May, Telcordia initiated an action in the International Trade Commission ("lTC")
based on the same allegations of infringement present here. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § l659, Cisco
has a statutory right to stay this district court action due to thc institution ofthe ITC action.
Although asked, Telcordia has never given any good reason as to why it started the ITC
action when this case is so advanced. This is the appropriate forum to resolve thc parties'
dispute, especially because we have been litigating here for two years. Thus, Cisco has decided
not to exercise its right to stay this action.
In sum, this case is so advanced that it makes no sense to Cisco to halt it now. We
believe that this Court is in the best position to provide a just and speedy resolution of the
partics’ dispute.
Respectfully,
/3/ Jack B. Blumenfeld (#lOl4)
