Certain Liquid Crystal Display Modules, Products Containing Same, and Methods for Using the Same, USITC Inv. No. 337-TA-634. Counsel for Samsung has conferred with counsel for Defendants, and Defendants do not oppose this motion to stay. Samsung requests a stay under 28 U.S.C. § 1659(a) because the pending ITC investigation involves the same patents and the same issues that are asserted in the Amended Counterclaims of Defendants Sharp Corporation; Sharp Electronics Corporation; and Sharp Electronics Manufacturing Company of America, Inc. (collectively, " Sharp" ) and in the declaratory judgment counterclaims that Samsung asserts in response. Samsung' s grounds for the stay are set forth more fully in its Opening Brief filed herewith. In requesting a stay pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1659(a), Samsung expressly reserves all of its objections and defenses, including, but not limited to any defenses based on lack of jurisdiction, improper venue, insufficiency of process and insufficiency of service of process.
