`
`Introduction
`On June 8, 2020, the parties filed a joint request by email (Exhibit
`3002) to change Due Dates 1–8 in IPR2019-01625, IPR2019-01627, and
`IPR2019-01629. The changes are indicated in a table (Exhibit 3003)
`attached to the email. The parties also jointly request consolidation of oral
`hearings for IPR2019-01625, IPR2019-01627, IPR2019-01629, IPR2019-
`01649, and IPR2019-01650. Ex. 3002. The parties jointly represent that
`Patent Owner will not be filing any motion to amend claims. Id. The parties
`do not request any change in the Due Dates for IPR2019-01649 and
`IPR2019-01650. Ex. 3003.
`
`Discussion
`Based on the representation that Patent Owner will not be filing any
`
`motion to amend, we authorize the requested changes for Due Dates 1–8 in
`each of IPR2019-01625, IPR2019-01627, and IPR2019-01629, as
`summarized in the table in Exhibit 3003. A copy of the table is reproduced
`below, where the new due dates are shown in red:

`IPR2019-01625 (Patent 8,286,875 B2)
`IPR2019-01627 (Patent 8,281,998 B2)
`IPR2019-01629 (Patent 9,269,084 B2)
`IPR2019-01649 (Patent 9,016,566 B2)
`IPR2019-01650 (Patent 9,311,637 B2)
`
`
`
`
`The table shows the changed Due Dates 1–8 for IPR2019-01625, IPR2019-
`01627, and IPR2019-01629.
`
`The requested changes do not delay ultimate disposition of the cases.
`Nor do they impose a burden on the Board, given that Patent Owner will not
`be filing any motion to amend claims.
`Order
`For the foregoing reasons, it is
`
`ORDERED that the parties’ joint proposal to change Due Dates 1–8,
`
`in IPR2019-01625, IPR2019-01627, and IPR2019-01629, is granted;
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that Due Dates 1–8 in each of IPR2019-
`01625, IPR2019-01627, and IPR2019-01629 are changed to the respective
`dates marked in red in the table presented above for those cases; and
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that the joint request to consolidate oral
`hearings for IPR2019-01625, IPR2019-01627, IPR2019-01629, IPR2019-
