`
` JUDGE ELLURU: Good afternoon. This is
`
` Judge Elluru. I'm joined by Judges Braden,
`
` DeFranco and Plenzler. This is the initial
`
` conference call for IPR2014-00356, 366, 406, 420
`
` and 421.
`
` I'd like to start with the roll call.
`
` Could counsel for petitioner please identify
`
` themselves?
`
` MR. STEINBERG: Yes. This is Bob
`
` Steinberg representing Petitioner Qualtrics.
`
` And along with me is Neil Rubin, also of Latham
`
` & Watkins representing petitioner.
`
` JUDGE ELLURU: Thank you. And patent
`
` owner?
`
` MR. MODI: Good afternoon, Your Honor.
`
` This is Naveen Modi. I'm with Paul Hastings.
`
` And I have with me Evan McLean.
`
` JUDGE ELLURU: Thank you. Is there a
`
` court reporter on the line?
`
` THE REPORTER: There is. This is Rebecca
`
` Stonerock.

` court reporter?
`
` MR. MODI: Your Honor, this is Naveen
`
` Modi again. We did, the patent owner.
`
` JUDGE ELLURU: Thank you. Mr. Modi,
`
` could you please submit a copy of the transcript
`
` as an exhibit in this case?
`
` MR. MODI: We'll do that, Your Honor.
`
` JUDGE ELLURU: We received notice from
`
` each party that it has not currently proposed to
`
` file any motions. Is that correct, starting
`
` with the petitioner?
`
` MR. STEINBERG: That's correct, Your
`
` Honor. We don't plan to file any motions at
`
` this time.
`
` JUDGE ELLURU: And patent owner?
`
` MR. MODI: That's true for us, also, Your
`
` Honor.
`
` JUDGE ELLURU: I would still like to go
`
` through a couple of issues. There are any
`
` proposed changes to the scheduling order at this
`
` time?

`
` MR. STEINBERG: Yes, Your Honor. And I
`
` have communicated with -- this is Bob Steinberg
`
` for petitioner. I have communicated with patent
`
` owner counsel, Chris Kennerly, with respect to
`
` the April 2, 2015 hearing date. I have a trial
`
` that overlaps that date. We have proposed April
`
` 16, 2015 as a new trial date, two weeks later.
`
` And the patent owner is not in disagreement with
`
` pushing that time frame back to the 16th if that
`
` meets with your approval.
`
` JUDGE ELLURU: And so I have no objection
`
` from patent owner for moving that date -- the
`
` oral hearing date from April 2 to April 16,
`
` Mr. Modi?
`
` MR. MODI: That's right, Your Honor.
`
` JUDGE ELLURU: All right. I'm going to
`
` put the parties on hold while I confer with the
`
` panel. Thank you.
`
` (Pause.)
`
` JUDGE ELLURU: This is Judge Elluru. The
`
` panel's back online. Is counsel for petitioner
`
` present?

`

`

`
` hearing date from April 2, 2015 to April 16,
`
` 2015.
`

`
` JUDGE ELLURU: Have the parties discussed
`
` settlement?
`
` MR. STEINBERG: No, Your Honor. This is
`
` the petitioner.
`
` JUDGE ELLURU: Does patent owner have
`
` anything to add?
`
` MR. MODI: No, Your Honor, not at this
`
` time.
`
` JUDGE ELLURU: Any other issues that the
`
` parties would like to raise at this time,
`
` starting with the petitioner?
`
` MR. STEINBERG: Yes. There may be a need
`
` for some guidance, although not at this time. I

`
` just want to put this on the table. That is, we
`
` have one declarant who has provided five
`
` different declarations for the five petitions,
`
` and we're going to work on coordinating how the
`
` discovery will work for that declarant. And we,
`
` I suspect, will probably work something out, but
`
` if we can't we'll probably be seeking your
`
` guidance on that.
`
` JUDGE ELLURU: Thank you. We do
`
` encourage the parties to work out discovery
`
` issues such as that.
`
` Does the patent owner have anything else
`
` it would like to raise at this time?
`
` MR. MODI: No, Your Honor.
`
` JUDGE ELLURU: All right. With that this
`
` call is adjourned. We will issue an order in
`
` due time covering this telephone conference.
`
` MR. STEINBERG: Thank you, Your Honor.

` JUDGE ELLURU: Thank you.
`
` MR. MODI: Thank you for your time.
