`Subject: IPR2017‐01068 (LSI v. Regents of the university of Minnesota ) ‐ Request for Conference Call 
`
`Dear Board,
`
`Pursuant to the Board’s Standard Operating Procedure 9 at 16-17 (discussing the handling of a case where a
`petition for certiorari is filed), the University of Minnesota (“UMN”) requests a conference call with the Board
`to request a “stay of proceedings on remand” pending final resolution by the Supreme Court of UMN’s
`forthcoming appeal on the applicability of sovereign immunity to IPR. Petitioner does not oppose.
`
`Continued Stay of the Proceedings
`UMN’s unopposed proposal is that the Board order a similar suspension to the one the Board recently ordered in
`four IPRs involving the Board of Regents, The University of Texas System (order attached). Specifically, UMN
`requests that the Board:
`
`(1) order this proceedings be suspended until the earlier of the expiration of a deadline to file, or the final
`disposition of, a petition for writ of certiorari in the United States Supreme Court for Regents of the
`University of Minnesota v. LSI Corp., Case No. 2018-1599; and
`
`(2) if the Supreme Court denies the petition for cert or ultimately rules against UMN on the merits, the
`deadline for UMN to file any Preliminary Response in this proceedings be set for two months from
`the denial of the petition for cert or the Supreme Court’s decision on the merits.
`
`Other IPRs Pending Against UMN
`Patent owner is requesting a similar suspension in ten other pending UMN IPRs. See IPR2017-01186, -01197, -
`01200, -01213, -01214, -01219, (Ericsson v. Regents of the University of Minnesota) (unopposed); IPR-2017-
`01712, -01753, -02004, -02005 (Gilead v. Regents of the University of Minnesota) (opposed).

`

`

`Ericsson does not oppose a continued suspension of the six IPRs Ericsson filed against UMN. Gilead does oppose
`a continued suspension of the four IPRs Gilead filed against UMN.
`
`Availability For A Conference Call
`The parties to the LSI IPR are conferring on their availability next week. The parties will follow-up with the
`Board to provide available dates and times for a telephone conference.
`
`Respectfully submitted,

`Subject: IPR2017‐01068 (LSI v. Regents of the university of Minnesota ) ‐ Apprising the Board of Developments in 
`Related Appellate Proceedings  
` 
`Dear Board, 
` 
`The Federal Circuit issued its mandate in Regents of the Univ. of Minn. v. LSI Corporation case today.  UMN intends to 
`file a petition for certiorari with the Supreme Court.    
` 
`There are eleven IPRs pending involving the University of Minnesota (UMN) that are currently all stayed, including the 
`one IPR referenced above.  UMN has reached out to the petitioners in all eleven cases to meet and confer about 
`whether petitioners agree with UMN that the stays of the IPRs should be maintained pending Supreme Court review of 
`the Federal Circuit’s decision, as was recently ordered in four IPRs involving the Board of Regents, The University of 
`Texas System (order attached). 
` 
`Subject to other guidance from the Board, UMN will inform the Board of the results of the meet and confer after it has 
`taken place. 
` 
`Respectfully submitted, 
`
