`
`
`A conference call in inter partes reviews IPR2015-01028 and IPR2015-
`01029 occurred on December 29, 2015. Respective counsel for Petitioner and
`Patent Owner, and Judges Turner, Bunting, and Tornquist were in attendance.
`A court reporter was present on the call. Patent Owner requested the call to
`discuss contingent motions to amend to be filed in each of the cited cases.
`The conference call satisfies the “to confer” requirement of 37 C.F.R.
`§ 42.221(a). Patent Owner indicated that it intended to contingently amend
`claim 20 in the IPR2015-01028 case, with no additional claim amendments,
`unless justified. With respect to the IPR2015-01029 case, Patent Owner
`indicated that it had not yet finalized its plans for its motion to amend.
`Upon inquiry from the Board, Patent Owner indicated that it was familiar
`with the requirements for a motion to amend. For additional guidance
`regarding the requirements of a motion to amend, Patent Owner’s attention is
`directed to Idle Free Sys., Inc. v. Bergstrom, Inc., IPR2012- 00027 (PTAB)
`(Papers 26 and 66), Nichia Corp. v. Emcore Corp., IPR2012- 00005 (PTAB)
`(Papers 27 and 68), ZTE Corp. v. ContentGuard Holdings, Inc., IPR2013-00136
`(PTAB) (Papers 32 and 33), Microsoft Corp. v.Proxyconn, Inc., 789 F.3d 1292
`(Fed. Cir. 2015), and MasterImage 3D, Inc. v. RealD Inc., IPR2015-00040
`(PTAB) (Paper 42).
`
`ORDER:
`It is ORDERED that the party facilitating the recording of the conference
`call through the court reporter will file a transcript of the conference call in
`PRPS when the transcript becomes available.
