`
`An initial conference call for Cases IPR2015-01028, IPR2015-01029,
`
`and IPR2015-01070 took place on November 3, 2015 among respective
`counsel for Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., Samsung Electronics America,
`Inc. and Samsung Semiconductor, Inc. (collectively, “Petitioner”), NVIDIA
`Corporation (“Patent Owner”), and Administrative Patent Judges Turner,
`Tornquist, and Bunting. A court reporter was present on the call. Counsel
`should file a copy of the transcript when available.
`
`We asked that the parties attempt to resolve disputes between
`themselves before contacting the Board for help. See generally 37 C.F.R.
`§§ 42.1(c) and 42.11.
`
`The following matters were discussed during the initial conference
`call:
`1. Schedule
`
`As explained during the call, the trial schedules for each of the above-
`identified inter partes reviews have been synchronized for efficiency. The
`parties did not propose any changes to the due dates set forth in the
`Scheduling Orders entered in these cases. The parties are reminded that they
`may stipulate to different dates for DUE DATES 1-5, but cannot go later
`than DUE DATE 6, as provided in the Scheduling Order, by filing an
`appropriate Notice with the Board. The parties may not stipulate to any
`other changes to the Scheduling Order.

`IPR2015-01070 (Patent 6,690,372 B2)
`
`2. Protective Order
`
`The parties agreed to the default protective order in IPR2015-01028
`(IPR2015-01028, Paper 13).2 If the parties should require entry of a
`protective order later in IPR2015-01070, they may stipulate to the default
`Standing Protective Order, Office Trial Practice Guide, 77 Fed. Reg. 48,769-
`71, App. B (Aug. 14, 2012) (“Trial Practice Guide”) or they must submit a
`joint, proposed protective order accompanied by a red-lined version based
`on the default protective order in Appendix B to the Trial Practice Guide.
`3. Discovery
`
`The Parties do not have any agreements in place as to disclosures or
`discovery, nor does either party anticipate requesting additional discovery at
`this time.
`4. Motion to Amend
`
`Patent Owner indicated that it would not file a motion to amend in
`these proceedings, and was instructed to request a conference with the Panel
`for guidance should it later elect to file a motion to amend. See 37 C.F.R. §
`42.121 (A patent owner may file one motion to amend a patent, but only
`after conferring with the Board.)
`5. Other Motions
`
`Petitioner filed a proposed list of motions. No other motions were
`authorized.
`
`
`2 A separate order will be entered in IPR2015-01029 to address Patent
`Owner’s Motion to Seal. Paper 7.
