`
`ORDER
`Conduct of the Proceeding
` 37 C.F.R. § 42.5
`
`
`
`On July 23, 2013 a conference call was held with counsel for the
`respective parties and Administrative Patent Judges Medley, Easthom, and
`Arbes.
`
`
`
`Case IPR2012-00018
`Patent 7,566,960
`
`
`The purpose of the call was for Xilinx to request authorization to file a
`substitute motion to amend.
`Counsel for Xilinx explained that Xilinx’s first substitute motion to
`amend (Paper 22) was filed prior to the Board’s decision in Idle Free
`Systems, Inc. v. Bergstrom, Inc., IPR2012-00027, Paper 26 (June 11, 2013).
`Xilinx seeks to file another substitute motion to amend in order to comply
`with the Idle Free decision. IVM does not oppose Xilinx filing another
`substitute motion to amend for the sole purpose of complying with the Idle
`Free decision.
`Based on the facts presented and the facts of this case, Xilinx’s
`request to file a second substitute motion to amend for the sole purpose of
`complying with the Idle Free decision is granted. The motion is due no later
`than July 29, 2013.
