`ORDER
`Conduct of the Proceeding
`37 C.F.R. § 42.5
`
`
`
`
`On June 14, 2016, a conference call was held between counsel for
`Petitioners, counsel for Patent Owner, and Judges Medley, Petravick and
`Plenzler. Patent Owner provided a court reporter and will file a transcript of
`the call in the record. The call was requested by Patent Owner to discuss its

`
`request to videotape the upcoming deposition of Mr. Kawashima,
`Petitioner’s witness, on June 17, 2016. Patent Owner and Petitioner
`indicated that they were unable to come to an agreement as to allowing
`videotaping of the deposition testimony, but that they had not discussed an
`audio recording of that testimony.
`Patent Owner indicated that it requests videotaping the testimony
`because the transcript will include only the English language translations,
`and will not capture the actual foreign language testimony. Patent Owner
`also indicated that videotaping the testimony is necessary to capture Mr.
`Kawashima’s reactions for purposes such as credibility. Based on the facts
`of this case, including the circumstances under which Mr. Kawashima will
`be testifying in this proceeding, we do not believe videotaping the testimony
`of Mr. Kawashima is necessary.
`We appreciate, however, Patent Owner’s concerns regarding the
`deposition transcript not capturing the foreign-language portions of the
`testimony. In order to address these concerns, we asked Petitioner whether
`it would oppose an audio recording of the deposition testimony. Petitioner
`indicated that it is not opposed to an audio recording of the deposition
`testimony.
`
`Accordingly, we authorize the parties to record the testimony of Mr.
`Kawashima via audio recording only. That recording shall not be entered
`into the record. If either party seeks entry of that recording into the record, a
`further conference must be held with the Board to seek permission for its
`entry.

`It is:
`
`ORDERED that the parties are authorized to record the testimony of
`
`Mr. Kawashima via audio recording only; and
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that the audio recording shall not be entered
`in this proceeding without further permission from the Board.
