`
`
`In view of the initial conference to be held on April 10, 2013, Progressive
`
`Casualty Insurance Co. (“Patent Owner”) hereby files and serves the following list
`
`of proposed motions:
`
`I. CONTINGENT MOTION UNDER 37 C.F.R. § 42.221 TO AMEND
`
`Patent Owner may move to amend one or more of the involved claims of the
`
`‘358 patent. Any such claim amendments will be made to respond to one or more
`
`of the grounds of unpatentability involved in the trial and will not enlarge the
`
`scope of the claims of the ‘358 patent (37 C.F.R. § 42.221(a)(2)(i)) or introduce
`
`new matter (37 C.F.R. § 42.221(a)(2)(ii)).
`
`II. MOTION TO AMEND SCHEDULING ORDER
`
`The Board’s rule, 37 C.F.R. § 42.220(b), and the Office Trial Practice Guide,
`
`77 Fed. Reg. 48757, provide a default due date for the Patent Owner Response of
`
`three months from institution of review. However, the Scheduling Order entered
`
`on March 28, 2013, sets a much shorter schedule. Further, under the March 28,
`
`2013, Scheduling Order, the time period for the Patent Owner Response from the
`
`institution of review (49 days) is significantly shorter than the time period for
`
`PII-1265447
`
`

`

`Petitioner’s Reply from the Patent Owner Response (76 days). Accordingly,
`
`Case No. CBM2013-00009
`Patent 8,140,358
`Attorney Docket No.: 185378-610013
`
`
`Patent Owner intends to seek an adjustment of all dates in the March 28, 2013,
`
`Scheduling Order by motion, requesting that the Due Dates be adjusted to
`
`correspond to those listed in the attached Due Date Appendix, which was set to
`
`match the deadlines in the model timeline found in the Office Trial Practice Guide.
