`ORDER
`Consolidation of Proceedings
`37 C.F.R. § 42.122(a)
`
`
`
`
`
`
`INTRODUCTION
`In recent separate decisions, we instituted inter partes reviews in
`Cases IPR2018-01261 (Paper 8, instituted January 15, 2019), IPR2018-
`01293 (Paper 8, instituted January 15, 2019), IPR2018-01295 (Paper 8,
`instituted January 15, 2019), IPR2018-01344 (Paper 8, instituted January 23,
`2019), and IPR2018-01346 (Paper 8, instititued January 23, 2019). These
`five proceedings involve the same parties, the same patent, and overlapping
`prior art. On January 25, 2019, we held a conference call with the parties to
`discuss consolidation of these cases, and this Order reflects the substance of
`what we advised the parties on the call.
`In order to secure just, speedy, and inexpensive resolutions of all five
`proceedings, and to administer the proceedings efficiently, we exercise our
`authority to consolidate the trials in IPR2018-01293, IPR2018-01295,
`IPR2018-01344, and IPR2018-01346 with the trial in IPR2018-01261. See
`37 C.F.R. §§ 42.1(b), 42.122(a).
`IPR2018-01293, IPR2018-01295, IPR2018-01344, and IPR2018-
`01346, as separate proceedings, are no longer necessary, and are terminated.
`See 37 C.F.R. § 42.72. Unless otherwise ordered, any further papers and
`exhibits shall be filed only in IPR2018-01261. Consequently, Patent Owner
`may file only one Patent Owner Response (addressing all claims at issue in
`the consolidated cases) and/or one Motion to Amend (directed to any of the
`claims at issue in the consolidated cases), Petitioner may file only one Reply
`to the Patent Owner Response and one Opposition to Motion to Amend, and
`Patent Owner may file only one Sur-Reply to Petitioner’s Reply and one
`Reply to Petitioner’s Opposition to Motion to Amend, as appropriate. Page
`and word count limitations, as set forth in our Rules, shall apply to any such
`papers. During the call, however, the parties indicated that they may jointly
`
`2
`
`
`
`
`
`request a reasonable number of additional pages for these papers. We will
`rule on any such request as soon as practicable. The parties are advised to
`make such requests as soon as possible because requests made right before
`the filing deadlines may not be granted in time.
`Petitioner filed a number of exhibits in each case that are duplicates of
`exhibits in other cases but numbered uniquely in each case and cited
`according to the unique exhibit number in each corresponding petition and
`preliminary response. The parties are ordered to confer and file a paper in
`surviving case IPR2018-01261 that identifies exhibits that are substantively
`identical among all five cases. Such duplicated exhibits shall not be re-filed
`in case IPR2018-01261. Exhibits that are unique to a particular case that is
`now consolidated into surviving case IPR2018-01261 will be re-filed in
`surviving case IPR2018-01261. All further filed papers will refer to exhibit
`numbers in surviving case IPR2016-01261.
`
`
`ORDERS
`In consideration of the foregoing, it is hereby:
`ORDERED that the trials of IPR2018-01293, IPR2018-01295,
`IPR2018-01344, and IPR2018-01346, are consolidated with the trial of
`IPR2018-01261, and a copy of this Order is filed in all five cases;
`FURTHER ORDERED that the grounds of unpatentability on which
`the consolidated trial shall proceed are as follows:
`(1) claims 1, 4–6, 8, 9, 11–13, 16, 20, 22–24, 26–28, 30, and 31 as
`obvious over Heinrich and Balasubramanian; and
`(2) claims 2, 3, and 17 as obvious over Heinrich, Balasubramanian,
`and Tsai.
`
`3
`
`
`
`
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that IPR2018-01293, IPR2018-01295,
`IPR2018-01344, and IPR2018-01346 are terminated;
`FURTHER ORDERED that, unless otherwise ordered, each Party
`shall file any exhibits previously filed only in IPR2018-01293, IPR2018-
`01295, IPR2018-01344, or IPR2018-01346, in surviving case IPR2018-
`01261 within ten (10) business days of the entry of this Order;
`FURTHER ORDERED that each Party shall file an exhibit list in
`IPR2018-01261 identifying (1) the exhibits previously filed in IPR2018-
`01261 and (2) the exhibits previously filed only in IPR2018-01293,
`IPR2018-01295, IPR2018-01344, or IPR2018-01346, but newly filed in
`IPR2018-01261, within ten (10) business days of the entry of this Order;
`FURTHER ORDERED that the parties shall jointly file a paper in
`surviving case IPR2018-01261 that identifies exhibits that are substantively
`identical among all five cases; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that the case caption in IPR2018-01261 shall
`be changed to reflect the consolidation of IPR2018-01293, IPR2018-01295,
`IPR2018-01344, and IPR2018-01346 with IPR2018-01261, in accordance
`with the attached example.
