`Conduct of the Proceeding

`Patent 5,859,601
`
`
`
`On July 13, 2017, in view of the pending motion to dismiss on
`Eleventh Amendment sovereign immunity grounds filed by Patent Owner,
`Regents of the University of Minnesota, we extended, for a second time, the
`deadline for Patent Owner to file its Preliminary Response. Paper 15; see
`also Paper 12.
`On August 9, 2017, Patent Owner requested, via electronic
`correspondence, a call with the Board to request authorization to seek further
`extension of the deadline to file its Preliminary Response. Patent Owner
`states in its request that Petitioners, LSI Corporation and Avago
`Technologies U.S., Inc., oppose this request.
`Patent Owner’s request is denied. We will issue our decision on
`Patent Owner’s motion to dismiss in due course. However, while we are
`mindful of Patent Owner’s position, the panel will not further extend the
`deadline for Patent Owner to file its Preliminary Response. Accordingly, to
`the extent Patent Owner intends to file a Preliminary Response in this
`matter, it should be prepared to do so by August 28, 2017, as set forth in our
`prior Order (Paper 15).
`It is
`ORDERED that the deadline for Patent Owner to file its Preliminary
`Response is August 28, 2017, as set forth in Paper 15.
