Omni MedSci, Inc. v. Whoop, Inc.

Omni MedSci · United States District Court for the District of Delaware · December 23, 2025 · No. 1:25-cv-00140

Summary

The United States District Court for the District of Delaware denies without prejudice WHOOP, Inc.'s motion to stay patent infringement litigation pending inter partes review and post-grant review proceedings before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board. The court concludes that, although most asserted patents are subject to pending or anticipated PTO challenges, a pre-institution stay would be premature under the general rule followed by courts. WHOOP may renew the motion after the PTO issues institution decisions, and the parties must continue complying with the existing scheduling order.

Holdings

  1. A stay of the patent litigation was premature and was denied without prejudice because the PTO had not yet decided whether to institute review of the currently pending petitions.

Questions Presented

  1. Whether the district court should stay the patent-infringement litigation before the PTO decided whether to institute inter partes review or post-grant review of the asserted patents.
