`
`A teleconference call was held on Thursday, December 4, 2014,
`
`among Robert Steinberg, representing Petitioner; Naveen Modi,
`representing Patent Owner; and Judges Elluru, Plenzler, Braden, and
`DeFranco.
`
`The parties requested the call because Petitioner wants to videotape
`the deposition of Patent Owner’s witness, Dr. Shamos. Patent Owner
`objects. We have the authority to authorize video-recorded testimony
`pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.53(a). Petitioner’s proffered justification for
`videotaping the deposition testimony of Dr. Shamos is that video-recorded
`testimony will be better understood by the panel. While Patent Owner stated
`that, based on e-mail correspondence, its understanding was that the parties
`had agreed to not videotape depositions, Patent Owner could not point to any
`written agreement between the parties expressly stating that videotaped
`depositions were not permissible.
`
`Accordingly, we authorized video-recorded deposition testimony of
`Patent Owner’s witness, Dr. Shamos. We also relayed to the parties that
`pursuant to Rule 42.53(a), the parties may not submit video-recorded
`testimony without prior authorization.
`
`It is
`
`ORDERED that Petitioner is authorized to videotape the deposition
`testimony of Patent Owner’s witness, Dr. Shamos.
