`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Case IPR2014-00415
`Patent 6,415,316
`
`
`An initial conference call was held on July 21, 2014, between
`
`respective counsel for the parties and Judges Bisk, Kauffman, and Clements.
`
`Prior to the call, Petitioner filed a proposed motions list indicating that it
`
`does not presently contemplate filing any motion. Paper 11.
`
`Scheduling Order
`
`Currently, neither party seeks changes to the Scheduling Order. To
`
`the extent that issues arise with DUE DATES 1-5, the parties are reminded
`
`that, without obtaining prior authorization from the Board, they may
`
`stipulate to different dates for DATES 1-5, as provided in the Scheduling
`
`Order, by filing an appropriate notice with the Board. The parties may not
`
`stipulate to any other changes to the Scheduling Order.
`
`Discovery
`
`The parties are reminded of the discovery provisions of 37 C.F.R.
`
`§ 42.51-52 and the Office Patent Trial Practice Guide. See id. at 48,761-62.
`
`Discovery requests and objections are not to be filed with the Board without
`
`prior authorization. See 37 C.F.R. § 42.64. If the parties are unable to
`
`resolve discovery issues between them, the parties may request a conference
`
`with the Board.
`
`Motions
`
`Each party indicated that it does not presently contemplate filing any
`
`motion. The Board is available for additional conference calls should the
`
`need arise due to issues that the parties are not able to resolve on their own.
`
`Protective Order
`
`No protective order has been entered in this proceeding. The parties
`
`indicated that, at this time, neither party anticipates exchanging confidential
`
`information.
