`Patent 6,778,074 B1
`
`On March 5, 2015, an initial telephone conference was held. The
`
`participants were respective counsel for the parties and Judges Lee and
`Cocks. The parties informed the Board that the Time Periods set in the
`Scheduling Order (Paper 10) do not pose any problem and need not be
`changed. Neither party contemplates filing any motion at this time. The
`Patent Owner, however, may be filing a Motion to Amend Claims at an
`appropriate time. We advised counsel for Patent Owner to confer with the
`Board at least one week prior to the filing of a Motion to Amend Claims.
`The initial conference call does not satisfy the requirement to confer with the
`Board with regard to the filing of a Motion to Amend Claims.
`
`We instructed the parties not to use a Motion to Exclude Evidence to
`address any issue concerning an alleged improper scope of a reply or reply
`evidence. Instead, if such issues arise, the parties should contact the Board
`in a joint conference call. We explained that supplemental evidence is not
`supplemental information and that there are separate rules governing each.
`
`It is ORDERED that the Time Periods set in the Scheduling Order
`dated February 9, 2015 (Paper 10) remain unchanged.
