`
`discuss matters related to scheduling cross-examination of Dr. Sumit Roy,
`Petitioner’s expert declarant in IPR2014-00501 and IPR2014-00504. According to
`the parties, Dr. Roy is currently on an assignment teaching at the University of
`Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand. The parties represent that Dr. Roy left for
`his assignment in New Zealand on February 18, 2015, and will return to the United
`States on April 6, 2015.
`Petitioner’s Replies in IPR2014-00501 and IPR2014-00504 were filed on
`February 9, 2015, along with a Second Declaration of Sumit Roy, Ph.D. IPR2014-
`00501, Paper 28, Ex. 1019; IPR2014-00504, Paper 26, Ex. 1012.
`The present Scheduling Orders (IPR2014-00501, Paper 14; IPR2014-00504,
`Paper 13) set out the following relevant due dates:
`DUE DATE 4 ......................................................................... March 23, 2015
`Motion for observation regarding cross-examination of reply witness
`Motion to exclude evidence
`Request for oral argument
`DUE DATE 5 ............................................................................. April 6, 2015
`Response to observation
`Opposition to motion to exclude
`DUE DATE 6 ........................................................................... April 13, 2015
`Reply to opposition to motion to exclude
`DUE DATE 7 .............................................................................. May 5, 2015
`Oral argument (if requested)
`During the call, the parties represented that they have discussed, but have
`not been able to agree upon, possible accommodations for Dr. Roy to be cross-
`examined prior to Due Date 4, i.e., March 23, 2015. Patent Owner represented that
`the parties had discussed a number of options, including (1) having Petitioner fly

`
`
`Dr. Roy back to the United States for a live deposition during the normal window
`of time; (2) conducting the deposition in New Zealand, with Board permission; and
`(3) moving Due Dates 4–6 or Due Dates 4–7 to allow for a deposition of Mr. Roy
`upon his return to the United States. Petitioner indicated that Options 1 and 2 were
`impractical, but was amenable to Option 3. The parties proposed a number of
`potential amended dates for the relevant Due Dates in the Scheduling Orders.
`Petitioner represented that Mr. Roy could be made available as early as April 8,
`2015.
`
`As discussed during the phone call, Due Date 4 is moved to April 21, 2015,
`Due Date 5 is moved to April 24, 2015, and Due Date 6 is moved to April 28,
`2015. Due Date 7, the date of oral argument (if requested), remains unchanged and
`will take place on May 5, 2015. We note that the parties are free to file any paper,
`including the request for oral argument, in advance of their respective due dates.
`Accordingly, it is
`ORDERED that the Scheduling Orders in these proceedings (IPR2014-
`00501, Paper 14; IPR2014-00504, Paper 13) are hereby amended as follows:
