`
`ORDER
`Conduct of the Proceedings
`37 C.F.R. § 42.5
`
`
`
`
`1 We exercise our discretion to issue one order to be filed in each
`proceeding. The parties may use this style heading only if the paper includes
`a statement certifying that the identical paper is being filed in each
`proceeding listed in the caption.

`
`
`IPR2019-01044 (Patent 8,813,663); IPR2019-01046 (Patent 9,480,199)
`IPR2019-01047 (Patent 9,510,502); IPR2019-01048 (Patent 9,686,906)
`IPR2019-01050 (Patent 9,807,922); IPR2019-01051 (Patent 9,807,924)
`IPR2019-01052 (Patent 9,820,429); IPR2019-01053 (Patent 9,861,031)
`IPR2019-01054 (Patent 10,004,173); IPR2019-01055 (Patent 9,699,955)
`
`In the above-captioned cases, the records include certain documents
`reflecting Petitioner’s invalidity contentions in Deere & Company v. AGCO
`Corporation, Civil Action No. 1:18-cv-00827-CFC in the U.S. District
`Court for the District of Delaware (referred to herein as the “Delaware
`Case”). See, e.g., IPR2019-01044, Ex. 2006 (Petitioner’s invalidity
`contentions in the Delaware Case dated July 12, 2019); Ex. 2014
`(Petitioner’s notice of reduction of asserted prior art references in the
`Delaware Case dated August 23, 2019). However, it appears that these
`documents may have been updated in the time since they were filed. See,
`e.g., IPR2019-01044, Ex. 2014, 3 (advising that Petitioner “intends to serve
`its amended invalidity contentions no later than September 25, 2019”). The
`content of the current version of these contentions and lists of asserted
`references may be relevant to the Board’s analysis of an issue to be
`addressed in the decisions on institution, which are due shortly.
`Consequently, it is:
`ORDERED that Petitioner shall file as an exhibit in each of the above
`captioned proceedings the current version of its invalidity contentions and
`list of asserted references in the Delaware Case by Wednesday,
`November 20, 2019.
