`
`ORDER
`Conduct of the Proceedings
`37 C.F.R. § 42.5
`
`Patent Owner, via email sent June 21, 2016, requests an one month
`
`extension to DUE DATE 1 because Mr. Steve Borsand, Patent Owner’s in-
`
`
`1 Case CBM2016-00035 has been joined with this proceeding.
`2 Case CBM2016-00040 has been joined with this proceeding.

`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)
`
`house counsel and back-up counsel in these proceedings, recently fell ill.
`
`Ex. 3003.3 DUE DATE 1 is the due date for filing a Patent Owner’s
`
`Response. Paper 30, 4. The email indicates that Petitioners oppose the
`
`request. Ex. 3003.
`
`
`
`Patent Owner’s request is denied. Pursuant to the Statute and our
`
`Rules, the pendency of covered business method patent review proceedings
`
`is normally no more than one year. See 35 U.S.C. § 326 (a)(11), 37 C.F.R. §
`
`42.202(c). DUE DATE 1 has been extended numerous times already. For
`
`example in CBM2015-00161, the parties stipulated to three extensions of
`
`time (Papers 42, 46, 51) and the Board granted one extension of time (Paper
`
`47), giving Patent Owner six months to prepare and file its Patent Owner’s
`
`Responses. DUE DATE 1, thus, cannot be readily extended again and still
`
`allow for these proceedings to be completed within the one year period.
`
`
`
`In these proceedings, Patent Owner is represented by lead counsel Ms.
`
`Erika Arner and Mr. Borsand is back-up counsel. In addition to Mr.
`
`Borsand, Patent Owner is represented by three other back-up counsel. Prior
`
`to Patent Owner’s email indicating the Mr. Borsand fell ill, Patent Owner’s
`
`lead counsel and other back-up counsel have had a significant amount of
`
`time to prepare the Patent Owner’s Responses with Mr. Borsand. For
`
`example in CBM2015-00161, Mr. Borsand and Patent Owner’s other
`
`counsel had the majority of six months to prepare the Patent Owner’s
`
`Response. DUE DATE 1 is set for June 27, 2016 (Paper 51), less than one
`
`
`3 For the purposes of this Order, CBM2015-00161 is representative and all
`citations are to papers in CBM2015-00161, unless otherwise noted.

`
`week from the date of Patent Owner’s email. Patent Owner presented no
`
`persuasive reason why Patent Owner’s lead counsel and other back-up
`
`counsel cannot finish preparing and file Patent Owner’s Responses and to
`
`otherwise represent Patent Owner during Mr. Borsand’s absence.
`
`It is hereby:
`
`ORDERED that Patent Owner’s request for an extension of time for
`
`DUE DATE 1 in each proceeding is denied.
