`ORDER
`Conduct of the Proceeding
`37 C.F.R. § 42.5
`
`
`On January 4, 2021, we held a teleconference in the above-captioned
`proceedings.
`
`
`1 This Order applies to each of the listed cases. The parties are not
`authorized to use this caption for subsequent papers.
`
`
`
`IPR2020-01567 (Patent 7,126,214 B2)
`IPR2020-01568 (Patent 7,282,951 B2)
`IPR2020-01570 (Patent RE42,035 E)
`IPR2020-01571 (Patent 6,781,226 B2)
`
`
`Petitioner requested authorization to file as an exhibit, in each of the
`captioned proceedings, the infringement contentions from a civil action
`pending in the District of Delaware, Arbor Global Strategies LLC v. Xilinx,
`Inc., DDE-1-19-cv-01986 (“the related action”). The related action concerns
`the patents at issue in these proceedings. See Paper 22 (Petition), 68–69; Ex.
`1013 (complaint in the related action), 3–6.
`Petitioner represented that the proposed exhibit would explain which
`claims are being asserted in the related action, and that this would provide
`information useful for the Board in considering arguments that the Board
`should exercise its discretion to deny institution under 35 U.S.C. § 314(a).
`See Paper 7 (Patent Owner’s Preliminary Response), 2–17.
`We agree that it would be useful to have information regarding which
`claims are being asserted in the related action. In this case, as indicated in
`the teleconference, a joint stipulation regarding the claims asserted would be
`preferable. Petitioner, during the teleconference, agreed that such a
`stipulation would provide the same information to the Board. Additionally,
`as no arguments relating to 35 U.S.C. § 314(a) have been raised by Patent
`Owner in IPR2020-01567, Petitioner indicated that such a filing would not
`be necessary in that proceeding. See IPR2020-01567, Paper 9 (Patent
`Owner’s Preliminary Response).
`
`
`2 Unless otherwise indicated, we refer to papers and exhibits in IPR2020-
`01568.

`IPR2020-01571 (Patent 6,781,226 B2)
`
`
`For the foregoing reasons,
`it is ORDERED that, in each of IPR2020-01568, IPR2020-01570, and
`IPR2020-01571, Petitioner and Patent owner shall file a joint stipulation,
`indicating which claims are the subject of infringement contentions filed in
`the related action.
