`
`INITIAL CONFERENCE SUMMARY
`Conduct of the Proceeding
`37 C.F.R. § 42.5
`
`
`
`IPR2014-00317
`Patent 5,687,132
`
`The initial conference call for this proceeding was held on July 15,
`2014, between respective counsel for Petitioner and Patent Owner, and
`Judges Turner, Jefferson, and McKone. The purpose of the call was to
`discuss any proposed changes to the Scheduling Order (Paper 12) and any
`motions that the parties intend to file. Petitioner filed a statement (Paper 15)
`that it does not anticipate filing any motions beyond those set forth in the
`Scheduling Order. Patent Owner filed a statement (Paper 14) that it might
`file a motion to amend the claims.
`
`A. Scheduling Order
`Neither party indicated any concerns with the Scheduling Order.
`
`B. Motion to Amend
`Patent Owner indicated that it might file a motion to amend. Patent
`Owner is reminded that, should it decide to do so, it must confer with the
`Board in a conference call before filing the motion. See 37 C.F.R.
`§ 42.121(a). One of the purposes of the conference requirement is for the
`Board to give guidance on the requirements of a motion to amend.
`Therefore, Patent Owner should leave sufficient time before any such
`motion to amend is filed so that changes can be made, if needed.
`
`C. Related Matters
`The parties indicated that there has been no change in the status of the
`related district court lawsuit, Intellectual Ventures I LLC & Intellectual
`Ventures II LLC v. Toshiba Corp., No. 1:13-cv-00453 (D. Del.), since the
