`
`
`On August 10, 2016, a conference call was held between counsel for
`Patent Owner, counsel for Petitioners, and Judges Medley, Petravick, and
`Plenzler. Patent Owner requested the conference call to seek authorization
`to file a motion seeking to submit supplemental information and
`corresponding supplemental briefing. Petitioners opposed the request. A
`court reporter was present during the conference call, and the transcript
`should be filed into the record when it becomes available.
`
`After consideration of the information presented during the call, we
`authorize Patent Owner to file a motion seeking to submit supplemental
`information and corresponding supplemental briefing. Pursuant to 37 C.F.R.
`§ 42.223(b), the motion “must show why the supplemental information
`reasonably could not have been obtained earlier, and that consideration of
`the supplemental information would be in the interests-of-justice.” The
`motion is limited to 15 pages and must be filed no later than August 16,
`2016. Patent Owner is not authorized to file any other listings, papers, or
`exhibits containing arguments that should be presented in the motion itself.
`
`The information Patent Owner seeks to submit as supplemental
`information should not be filed into the record at this time. The information
`may be filed if and when the motion is granted. Patent Owner, however,
`may summarize the information in the motion itself to show that
`consideration of the information would be in the interests-of-justice.
`
`During the call, Patent Owner indicated that it seeks to file
`approximately 97 documents as supplemental information. This number of
`documents is significant and likely more information than can be sufficiently
`

`CBM2015-00172 (Patent No. 7,783,556 B1)
`CBM2015-00179 (Patent No. 7,533,056 B2)
`CBM2015-00181 (Patent No. 7,676,411 B2)
`CBM2015-00182 (Patent No. 6,772,132 B1)
`
`addressed in any supplemental briefing should the motion be granted. In
`addition, Petitioners would be unduly burdened by having to address 97 new
`documents at this stage of the proceeding. The motion, thus, is limited to
`seeking submission of 10 documents as supplemental information.
`
`Petitioners may file an opposition, limited to 15 pages, no later than
`August 22, 2016, and Patent Owner may file a reply, limited to 5 pages, no
`later than August 24, 2016.
`
`It is so ORDERED.
