` MR. CASEY: Your Honor, may I ask
` today if we can use a common header for
` all the cases? Typically that's not
` permitted for parties, only for the
` board, but it certainly would be
` helpful.
` JUDGE ELLURU: That's fine. In
` this instance, that's fine.
` It is our understanding that Apple
` requested this call to discuss timing,
` or scheduling in the CBM2015 cases that
` I identified earlier.
` With that, Mr. Baughman, could you
` please take the floor?
` MR. BAUGHMAN: Thanks, Your Honor,
` yes.
` This is a request for a call,
` before we had filed the CBM2015-17, 18,
` 19 and 20 proceedings to advise the
` board that we intended to file these
` follow-on petitions that were copies of
` the substantive argumentative of Samsung
` with respect to institute a 101 grounds
` for providing the same evidence and

` asking for this call about schedule, but
` we obviously now have in the hands of
` CBM numbers that were assigned, but we
` didn't when we filed before today.
` We are calling about two scheduling
` items.
` First, the time of a preliminary
` response, to the extent that the patent
` owner determines that it's necessary,
` given that the arguments and evidence
` are the same, it's my understanding, and
` I'm sure we will hear from patent owner,
` that patent owner does intend to file a
` preliminary response, and we would
` suggest that it would be appropriate to
` set a period of, along the lines of
` two weeks, as was done in one of the
` cases we cited IPR2013-0035, the Dell
` case that the board has pointed to under
` other circumstances.
` And as to the motion for joinder,
` also we would suggest that that should
` be done on an expedited schedule, if
` that's possible. I think in the Dell

` case, the owner was given one week, but
` we would suggest it would work to have a
` two-week response, if they wish, in this
` case, until May 14th, we could reply
` within a week, by May 21st; and that way
` both the motion for joinder and any
` preliminary response would be in hand
` for the board before the patent owner
` response would be due in the original
` proceedings, so that we could avoid
` unnecessary filing of additional papers,
` if that's possible.
` And we've also proposed a motion
` for joiner that to the extent that's not
` possible, we would be open to the filing
` by patent owner, if they wish, of an
` additional paper shortly after the
` response in the Samsung proceeding to
` address anything regarding the Apple
` petitions. But we're trying to do this
` in a way that would minimize the need
` for any additional papers or
` expenditure, and as indicated in our
` motion for joinder, we would intend to

` requesting that Smartflash file its
` preliminary response as well as its
` opposition to the motion for
` consolidation by May 14; is that
` correct?
` MR. BAUGHMAN: Yes, Your Honor.
` JUDGE ELLURU: Mr. Casey, would you
` like to respond, and please let us know
` whether you plan to file a preliminary
` response in the CBM2015 cases?
` MR. CASEY: Yes, Your Honor.
` Patent owner would expect to file a
` preliminary response.
` To put things in perspective,
` patent owner received the original paper
` copies of the filings. I have been able
` to get on to the RPS system and download
` copies, but this is rate of -- of
` processing is prejudicial to the patent

` of contrary evidence of the patent owner
` would be requesting enough time to be
` able to file a motion or routine
` discovery in order to obtain from, to
` obtain from Apple documents relating to
` the preemption question raised in the
` petitions. Since the filing of
` Samsung's positions, the district court
` has ruled on the 101 issue in the
` district court, and as part of that
` ruling, the court cited to evidence of
` defendants that relate to noninfringing
` alternatives, which is contrary to the
` arguments that they've made about the
` claims being -- the claims preempting
` entire fields.
` So we think it would be premature
` to have, A, a short deadline, and B, a
` deadline that does not take into
` consideration the fact that patent owner
` believes that it is entitled to this
` routine discovery that should have been

` JUDGE ELLURU: Mr. Casey, wouldn't
` those motions come into play only if we
` instituted in any event, so why should
` that affect the schedule as to whether
` the scheduling for the preliminary
` responses, certainly the opposition to
` our institution decisions?
` MR. CASEY: Because it may affect,
` Your Honor, whether or not you believe
` the argument of the petitioner that
` preemption is, preemption does exist.
` To the extent that the petitioner has
` already said in another forum that there
` are embodiments that are not covered by
` these claims, contradicts the arguments
` raised in the --
` JUDGE ELLURU: Mr. Casey, we

` that?
` MR. CASEY: Yes, Your Honor. In
` the decisions at the district court, the
` magistrate judge in her report and
` recommendation indicated that defendants
` had identified a number of alternate
` configurations that could be used
` instead, which is indicative of the fact
` that there is not preemption as
` petitioner is now proposing.
` So I guess what I'm trying to
` understand, Your Honor, if they have
` taken this, the contrary position, the
` contrary position, this does seem to be
` the time to obtain that evidence prior
` to institution to avoid the cost of
` instituting the trial.
` Now, I can't tell whether or not
` you're going to institute a trial based

` I'm sorry.
` I understand trial is already
` instituted here in the Samsung matters,
` we're trying to join that trial. I
` think to the extent that there are
` contingents about this, they can be
` addressed in the context of that trial.
` Second, we don't agree that the
` material that Mr. Casey is referring to
` is inconsistent with positions we've
` taken. So arguments we've made about
` preemption, it's on the rationale of
` Mayo. It's an issue of relative
` preemption, and the Mayo case talks
` about foreclosing more future inventions
` than the underlying discovery reasonably
` justifies. The fact that there may be
` other ways of doing something does not
` mean that the preemption inquiry for

` section 101 purposes is concluded. We
` do take the positions that we have a
` noninfringing product, so if that's the
` question, I'm not sure what discovery is
` required for that.
` And we certainly have a lot of
` people talking about the fact that even
` if one could practice an idea in a
` manner that doesn't infringe, that
` doesn't mean that the relative
` preemption issue that is raised by the
` Alice in the Mayo analysis is somehow
` resultant in patent eligibility under
` section 101. So we don't plan to --
` that it is contrary information and we
` are actually in the process of trying to

` dispute. We haven't had a chance yet to

` parties on hold while I confer with the
` panel.
` (Panel confers off the record.)
` JUDGE ELLURU: The panel has
` conferred.
` Is counsel for Apple present?
` MR. BAUGHMAN: Yes, Your Honor.
` JUDGE ELLURU: And counsel for
` Samsung?
` MR. RENNER: Yes, Your Honor.
` JUDGE ELLURU: And counsel for
` Smartflash?
` MR. CASEY: Yes, Your Honor.
` JUDGE ELLURU: The panel has
` decided that we would like an expedited
` preliminary response in this case. It
` will be due at the same time as the
` opposition, which is May 30th, but that
` is a Saturday, so those two papers will
` be due on June 1, 2015.
` And we do have a question for
` Samsung. Does Samsung contemplate
` opposing Apple's 325(c) motion?
` MR. CASEY: Your Honor, thank you

` for asking. No, Samsung does not
` contemplate opposing that, thank you.
` JUDGE ELLURU: And we also wanted
` to know -- to put Apple on notice that
` we have briefly read the 325(c) motion
` and we may contemplate, as we do join
` those Apple petitions with the previous
` Samsung case, we may let the parties, we
` would contemplate along the parties to
` cooperate Apple's motion suggested that
` if they couldn't come to an agreement,
` that they would be allowed to file a
` separate paper as well as giving
` Smartflash the opportunity to respond to
` that paper, but in other cases what
` we've done is just sought that the
` second petitioner has to cooperate with
` the first petitioner, and if they can't
` reach agreement then they would have to
` call the board and ask for additional
` three things.
` So we haven't decided the 325(c)
` motion yet. We just wanted to let the
` parties know that and put them on notice

` that that is a possibility.
` MR. BAUGHMAN: Understood for
` Apple, Your Honor. Thank you.
` JUDGE ELLURU: Are there any
` questions remaining, starting with the
` Apple's counsel, Mr. Baughman?
` MR. BAUGHMAN: No, Your Honor.
` Well, I guess the one question would be
` on the subject of a reply, if necessary,
` can we file one promptly as of the 30th,
` if needed?
` JUDGE ELLURU: We will give you
` seven days to file a reply in support of
` the motion for 325(c) consolidation.
` MR. BAUGHMAN: Yes, Your Honor.
` JUDGE ELLURU: And is there any
` questions or issues from Samsung's
` counsel, Mr. Renner?
` MR. RENNER: No, Your Honor. Thank
` you.
` JUDGE ELLURU: And lastly, Mr.
` Casey?
` MR. CASEY: Yes, Your Honor. I
` guess the other way to approach this

`
` Proceedings
` would be to consolidate the cases the
` other way around and then we would not
` be pressed on the schedule, everything
` can be consolidated into now what is
` 2015-00117 through 120, and then there
` is no need to rush the proceedings.
` JUDGE ELLURU: At this point we are
` going to stick to this schedule. If we
` do consolidate the cases, we may at that
` point discuss changing the schedule, for
` both, for the consolidated cases.
` MR. RENNER: Your Honor, this is
` Karl Renner for Samsung. If that were
` to be considered, we would appreciate a
` voice and a later opportunity to discuss
` that.
` JUDGE ELLURU: And we are not
` contemplating that at this point. So
` currently, as I said earlier, the
` opposition to the motion for 325(c)
` consolidation in the CBM2015 series of
` cases is going to be due on June 1,
` 2015, as well as the preliminary
` responses in those cases.
