`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 these 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 these proceedings be set for six weeks 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 five other pending UMN IPRs. See IPR2017-01068 (LSI v.
`Regents of the university of Minnesota) (unopposed); IPR-2017-01712, -01753, -02004, -02005 (Gilead v.
`Regents of the University of Minnesota) (opposed).
`

`
`

`

`LSI does not oppose a continued suspension of the IPR LSI 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 Ericsson IPRs are available for a telephone conference:
` August 13, from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Eastern
` August 14, from 9:00 a.m. to noon, and 2 to 6:00 p.m. Eastern
`
`If those times are not convenient for the Board, the parties can confer further and identify additional times.
`
`Respectfully submitted,

`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 (attached).  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 
`six IPRs 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,
