`Subject: Request for Conference Call with Board to resolve disputes relating to the depositions of
` Petitioners expert scheduled for May 3 and May 5.
`
`Your Honors:
`
`Petitioners respectfully request a conference call to resolve two issues between the parties
` regarding the depositions next week of Petitioners' expert, Kendyl Roman in three separate CBM
` proceedings: CBM2015-00179, CBM2015-00181, and CBM2015-00182.
`
`1) In a March 29 e-mail, Patent Owner requested deposition on a first day for the CBM2015-00179
` proceeding and on a second day for the CBM2015-00181 and 182 proceedings. Petitioners agreed
` to this proposal setting May 3 for the first deposition and May 5 for the second deposition. The
` emails reflecting this agreement are attached. Despite the agreement between the parties, Patent
` Owner filed a Notice of Deposition in each proceeding stating that they were going to consolidate all
` three depositions and conduct them as a single deposition spanning two days. Patent Owner further
` misrepresented in its deposition notices that Petitioners had agreed to this arrangement.
` Petitioners have asked Patent Owner to correct their deposition notices to reflect the agreement
` between the parties. Patent Owner has refused.
`
`Petitioners therefore request a conference call to ask the Board to amend the notices of deposition
` or compel the Patent Owner to update its deposition notices to reflect the parties agreement that
` the May 3rd deposition will cover the topics in the CBM2015-00179 proceeding and the May 5th
` deposition will cover the topics in the CBM2015-00181 and 182 proceedings. In addition, Petitioners
` seek authorization to file a motion for sanctions against Patent Owner for misrepresenting the
` agreement between the parties in a filing with the Board and abuse of the discovery process.
`
`2) Because the CBM2015-00179 proceeding covers a patent in one family and the CBM2015-00181
` and 182 proceedings cover patents in a separate patent family, Petitioners have informed Patent
`
`

`
` Owner that Petitioners intend to prepare Mr. Roman for the second day of deposition on
` Wednesday May 4 after the deposition in the CBM2015-00179 proceeding has closed. Patent
` Owner opposes.
`
`To avoid the expense of future Motions practice by Patent Owner, Petitioners request clarification
` from the Board on the following point: If the deposition in CBM2015-00179 has closed, will
` Petitioners be able to prepare their witness before the deposition in the CBM2015-00181 and
` -00182 proceedings have opened.
`
`The parties are available for a conference call with the Board on Monday from 9am to 5pm ET.
`
`Regards-
`
`Lori A. Gordon
`Counsel for Petitioners

`RE: TT’s Objections to Evidence in CBM2015-00179
`Monday, April 11, 2016 11:28:00 AM
`
`Counsel,
`We agree to the proposed dates for Rho on April 26th and Roman on May 3rd and 5th. We will
` advise tomorrow on how many hours we believe we need for Mr. Cohen, but agree to the date. We
` note, however, that the dates you propose for Roman are very close to the deadline for the Patent
` Owner Response, and outside the discovery period for CBM2015-00179. Referring to my email of
` Friday, April 8, requesting an extension of due dates 1-3 in each of the proceedings to
` accommodate discovery, in the absence of stipulation to move the deadlines, we cannot agree to
` the dates for Mr. Roman.
`Please let us know as soon as possible if you agree to an extension of deadlines 1-3 by three weeks
` in each of the proceedings, and we can discuss the schedule further during tomorrow’s call (pending
` Josh’s confirmation).
`Thanks,
`Rachel

`
`We are working on dates for Cohen, but April 27th may work. Can you let us know if a few hours is
` satisfactory for Cohen?

`
`Patent Owners are not presently aware of evidence it has that is inconsistent with TT’s
` statement in its Objections that "Petitioners have submitted no evidence to
` authenticate Exhibit 1003, and deficient evidence for Exhibit 1004 as set forth below,
` making both inadmissible under FRE 901."
`
`Regarding Petitioners’ authentication evidence, please let us know of your availability
` for a deposition on the declaration you submitted in matters CBM2015-00179; -00181,
` and -00182.
`
`Also, on the topic of depositions, please let us know of any progress on the suggested

`RE: TT’s Objections to Evidence in CBM2015-00179
`
`

`
`
`Counsel,
`
`In TT’s March 9, 2016 Objections to Evidence, TT objected to the authenticity of Exhibit
` 1003 – the Japanese-language version of “Futures/Option Purchasing System Trading
` Terminal Operation Guide.”
`
`In accordance with 37 CFR 42.51(b)(1)(iii), Petitioners are entitled to discovery of all
` relevant information that is inconsistent with TT’s position that Exhibit 1003 is not
` authentic. Accordingly, Petitioners request that TT provide all evidence in its
` possession regarding the authenticity of the Japanese-language version of
` "Futures/Option Purchasing System Trading Terminal Operation Guide."
`
`Regards,
`Richard
