`Conduct of Proceeding
`37 C.F.R. § 42.5
`

`
`
`
`IPR2015-00778
`Patent 6,038,295
`
`
`
`On September 18, 2015, an initial telephone conference was held.
`
`The participants were Judges Lee, Gerstenblith, and Kokoski, and respective
`
`counsel for the parties. Patent Owner raised no issue for discussion, and
`
`Petitioner had only one request, i.e., for the Board to reset Due Date 6 from
`
`March 14, 2016, to March 28, 2016, and Due Date 7 from March 17, 2016,
`
`to April 11, 2016. Patent Owner did not oppose Petitioner’s request.
`
`
`
`We granted Petitioner’s unopposed request, and offered guidance on
`
`several topics as summarized below.
`
`I.
`
`
`
`We advised the parties not to include in a Motion to Exclude any
`
`argument about a Reply, or evidence associated with a Reply, purportedly
`
`exceeding the scope of a proper reply. Instead, if such an issue arises, the
`
`parties shall initiate a joint conference call with the Board.
`
`II.
`
`
`
`We advised the parties to check their Motions for Observations on
`
`Cross Examination, if any, to make sure that they do not include arguments.
`
`The content of such “motion” should just be identification of the cross-
`
`examination testimony, identification of associated evidence or argument
`
`that should be considered with the identified cross examination testimony,
`
`and a concise statement, in a summary manner, of how the associated
`
`evidence relates to the cross examination testimony. Each item identified in
`
`this manner should be no more than one short paragraph.
`
`III.
`
`
`
`With regard to Motions to Seal, we directed the attention of the parties
`
`to Papers 37, 38, and 40 of IPR2014-00736.

`
`
`IV.
`
`
`
`We instructed Patent Owner to arrange for a conference call, in
`
`connection with any motion to amend claims under 37 C.F.R. § 42.121, no
`
`less than ten days prior to the due date of a motion to amend claims.
`
`It is
`
`ORDER
`
`ORDERED that Due Date 6 is reset to March 28, 2015; and
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that Due Date 7 is reset to April 11, 2015.
