`INITIAL CONFERENCE SUMMARY
`Conduct of the Proceeding
`37 C.F.R. § 42.5
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2014-00773
`Patent 6,911,652 B2
`
`
`On November 6, 2014, Judges Kamholz, Daniels, and Weinschenk
`held an initial conference with counsel for the parties. The following
`subjects were discussed during the conference.
`Scheduling Order
`Neither party raised an objection to any date in the Scheduling Order.
`We remind the parties that, if the parties agree to change any of Due Dates 1
`through 5 in the Scheduling Order, the stipulated dates cannot be later than
`Due Date 6, and the parties promptly must file a joint stipulation indicating
`such change.
`Motions
`Neither party currently anticipated filing any motions not already
`authorized by our Rules or the Scheduling Order. We remind the Patent
`Owner that, if it decides to file a motion to amend, Patent Owner must
`schedule a call to confer with us prior to filing the motion. We instruct
`Patent Owner to schedule any such conference call at least two weeks prior
`to the due date, Due Date 1, for filing a motion to amend.
`We also remind the parties that any motions that are not already
`authorized by our Rules or the Scheduling Order require authorization from
`us before filing. In that regard, we instruct the parties that (1) prior to
`requesting a conference with us to seek authorization for a motion, the
`parties should consult with each other and attempt to resolve any issues
`between them, and (2) if a conference with us is necessary, the parties
`should suggest several dates and times for the desired conference.
`Protective Order
`Neither party believed that a protective order would be necessary, and
`a protective order has not been entered in this proceeding. We remind the
`

`
`
`
`IPR2014-00773
`Patent 6,911,652 B2
`
`parties that, if the parties later find the need for a protective order in this
`proceeding, the parties may agree to the default protective order in Appendix
`B of the Office Patent Trial Practice Guide. See Office Patent Trial Practice
`Guide, 77 Fed. Reg. 48,756, 48,771 (Aug. 14, 2012). If the parties wish to
`deviate from the default protective order, the parties must submit a redlined
`version of the default protective order that shows any such deviations and
`explain to us why such deviations are necessary.
