MEMORANDUM AND ORDER RE: MOTION TO INTERVENE FOR LIMITED PURPOSE OF STAYING THIS ACTION, AND TO STAY ACTION RELATING TO ELANTEC’S PRODUCTS
This case was stayed on September 20, 2004, with respect to claims and counterclaims relating to U.S. Patent Nos. 5,486,-869 (the “ '869” patent) and 5,754,250 (the “ '250” patent) until the patent reissue proceedings for those patents were complete. (Docket No. 50.) On October 2, 2009, the court granted defendant Thomson, Inc.’s (“Thomson”) unopposed motion to lift the stay. (Docket No. 225.) Elan-tee Semiconductor, Inc. (“Elantec”) and Intersil Corporation (“Intersil”) now move to intervene for the limited purpose of further staying the action pending resolution of a state court action with respect to patent infringement claims that involve Elantec’s products. In its Statement of Non-Opposition, Thomson states it does not oppose movants’ motion and that it agrees to be bound by the outcomes of the License Litigation and Declaratory Judgment Action (Def. Statement of Non-Opp’n to Mot. Intervene & Stay). In considering movants’ motion, therefore, the court will treat it as if it had been joined in by Thomson.
