`
`An initial conference call in the above proceeding was held on
`
`September 18, 2014, between respective counsel for Petitioner and Patent
`
`Owner, and Judges Tierney, Easthom and Siu. The purpose of the call was
`
`to discuss any proposed changes to the Scheduling Order (Paper 11) and any
`
`motions that the parties intend to file.
`
`Patent Owner and Petitioner filed papers, and confirmed during the
`
`call, that they did not seek authorization to file any additional motions at this
`
`time. Papers 12 and 13. Additionally, neither party sought to modify the
`
`schedule set forth in the Scheduling Order.
`
`The Board inquired as to the status of related district court litigation
`
`and any impact such litigation may have on this proceeding. No specific
`
`impact was identified during the call.
`
`There are several ongoing inter partes review proceedings involving
`
`Apple, Microsoft and Virnetx. The Board requested that the parties provide
`
`the Board with an overview of how the various proceedings are related. The
`
`parties agreed to work together and provide the Board with an overview in
`
`due course.
