`1 Case CBM2014-00107 has been consolidated with the instant proceeding.
`
`

`

`Case CBM2014-00106
`Patent 8,033,458
`
`The Patent Trial and Appeal Board ("Board") has scheduled an initial
`
`conference call for Wednesday, October 29, 2014. Pursuant to the Office Patent
`
`Trial Practice Guide, 77 Fed. Reg. 48756, 48765-66 (Aug. 14, 2012), Patent Owner
`
`submits the following list of proposed motions it is currently considering filing.
`
`This list is provided without prejudice to Patent Owner’s right to seek
`
`authorization to file additional motions or to decide not to file motions listed.
`
`
`
`I. Motions For Use of Video-Recorded Testimony
`
`Pursuant to 37 CFR § 42.53(a), Patent Owner reserves the right to file
`
`motions to submit video-recorded testimony.
`
`
`II. Motions for Additional Discovery
`
`
`
`Patent Owner has requested that the Petitioner inform the Patent Owner
`
`whether it will consent to additional discovery on the operation of systems and
`
`software operated by Petitioner, but Patent Owner has not yet received a response
`
`from Petitioner. Patent Owner reserves the right to file a motion for additional
`
`discovery to obtain additional information on those systems and software operated
`
`by Petitioner.

`
`III. Additional Topics for Discussion at Initial Conference Call
`
`Petitioner has filed a declaration in this proceeding and in multiple other
`
`proceedings from the same declarant. Patent Owner intends to take the deposition
`
`of the declarant and seeks to receive guidance from the Board as to what
`
`procedures should be followed to allow a single deposition to be taken of the
`
`declarant (and future declarants) such that a single deposition transcript can be
`
`used in both proceedings (albeit filed separately in each proceeding).
