`Conduct of the Proceeding
`37 C.F.R. § 42.5
`
`
`
`On April 30, 2015, the initial conference call for this proceeding was

`
`Scheduling Order
`During the call, the parties stated that the dates set forth in the April 1,
`2015, Scheduling Order (Paper 11) are satisfactory.
`
`Motions
`Neither party seeks authorization to file any motions at this time. The
`parties are reminded that, except as otherwise provided in our rules, Board
`authorization is required before filing a motion.
`Counsel for Patent Owner represented that Patent Owner is
`considering filing a motion to amend. As explained, if Patent Owner
`determines that it will file a motion to amend, Patent Owner must confer
`with the Board by arranging a call promptly with the Board and opposing
`counsel to discuss the proposed motion to amend. See 37 C.F.R.
`§ 42.121(a).
`
`Protective Order
`The parties are reminded that there currently is no protective order in
`place, and none will be entered unless a party files a motion to seal with a
`proposed protective order. Counsel for both parties indicated that, at this
`time, neither party expects to rely on confidential information.
`
`ORDER
`
`It is
`ORDERED that the due dates set forth in the Scheduling Order dated
`April 1, 2015, remain unchanged; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that no motions are authorized at this time,
`other than those already authorized by Board Rules.
