`
`
`On May 23, 2018, the parties filed an authorized Joint Motion To
`Amend Schedule (Paper 19, “Mot.” Or “Motion) proposing revisions to our
`earlier Scheduling Order (Paper 11) that allow for additional briefing in view
`of our May 15, 2018, Order revising the original Decision on Institution to
`add all claims and grounds asserted in the Petition (Paper 18 “SAS Order”).
`Our SAS Order instituted claims 14, 15, 23–27, and 35–38 (the “newly
`instituted claims”) that had been denied institution in our original Decision
`on Institution. SAS Order 2. The parties propose the following schedule:
`DUE DATE 1 June 18, 2018

`DUE DATE 2 July 31, 2018
`Petitioner’s [additional] reply to patent owner’s
`[additional] response to petition
`DUE DATE 4 August 27, 2018

`reply witness
`Motion to exclude evidence
`Request for oral argument
`DUE DATE 5 September 4, 2018
`Response to motion for observation re cross-examination
`of reply witness
`Opposition to motion to exclude
`DUE DATE 6 September 10, 2018
`Reply to opposition to motion to exclude
`DUE DATE 7 September 13, 2018
`Oral argument
`See Mot. 1. Implicit in the proposed schedule change is the filing of an
`additional response by Patent Owner and an additional reply filing by
`Petitioner responsive to Patent Owner’s additional response. The parties
`further note that Patent Owner’s counsel will be unavailable for Oral
`Argument from September 14, 2018 through September 21, 2018. Mot. 1,
`n.1.
