`
` JUDGE MEDLEY: Good afternoon. This is
`
`Judge Medley. I have with me Judge Bisk, and I
`
`believe I have on the phone Judge Blankenship.
`
` JUDGE BLANKENSHIP: Yes.
`
` JUDGE MEDLEY: Great. And can I please
`
`take a roll call, see who's on the party for
`
`petitioner?
`
` MR. WILLIAMS: William Wright, of Orrick,

`
`13
`
` JUDGE MEDLEY: Okay, great. Good
`
`14
`
`afternoon. And for the patent owner.
`
`15
`
` MR. McKEE: Yes, Judge. You have got
`
`16
`
`Christopher McKee and with me is Michael Cuviello,
`
`17
`
`both of Banner and Witcoff.
`
`18
`
` And we also have with us a reporter, a
`
`19
`
`stenographer. We obtained permission to have this
`
`20
`
`conference transcribed, so we've got her with us.
`
`21
`
` JUDGE MEDLEY: Okay. That's great. Thank
`
`22
`
`you for letting us know that. So we'll begin.

`

`INITIAL CONFERENCE CALL - 3/21/2013
`
` As you are aware, this is the initial
`
`Page 6
`
`conference call for IPR 2012-00042. The parties --
`
`have the parties had an opportunity to discuss
`
`settling this proceeding yet?
`
` MR. WILLIAMS: Your Honor, this is William
`
`Wright for Synopsys. The parties have discussed
`
`settlement in a global sense of all the disputes but
`
`not a settlement discussion with respect to this
`
`specific proceeding.
`
`1
`
`2
`
`3
`
`4
`
`5
`
`6
`
`7
`
`8
`
`9
`
`10
`
` JUDGE MEDLEY: Okay. All right. I'd like
`
`11
`
`to get that out front because sometimes they go
`
`12
`
`through things and then they say, oh, we've settled.
`
`13
`
`Okay. So that unfortunately is not the case here, so
`
`14
`
`we'll gone on to the next item.
`
`15
`
` The Board received the patent owner's
`
`16
`
`motion, so I assume that at this point the petitioner
`
`17
`
`has no motion they intend to file or seek
`
`18
`
`authorization to file?
`
`19
`
` MR. WRIGHT: That's correct, Your Honor.
`
`20
`
` JUDGE MEDLEY: Okay. So we will proceed to
`
`21
`
`go through the patent owner's list. And I just want
`
`22
`
`to start out by saying we've reviewed the list, and it
`

`

`
`Merrill LAD
`
`

`

`INITIAL CONFERENCE CALL - 3/21/2013
`
`Page 7
`appears as if the patent owner's position is that,
`
`hey, we want to wait and see what happens with our
`
`request for rehearing before we concretely say one way
`
`or another we are going to tile these motions for
`
`discovery. But I just want to direct the parties to
`
`Rule 42.71 which says that the rehearing requests do
`
`not toll the time for taking action.
`
` So we shall proceed as if there is no
`
`rehearing request in the mix, and we are going to go
`
`1
`
`2
`
`3
`
`4
`
`5
`
`6
`
`7
`
`8
`
`9
`
`10
`
`forward with looking at the proposed motions for
`
`11
`
`additional discovery.
`
`12
`
` So with that in mind, patent owner, could
`
`13
`
`you please go through and explain or represent whether
`
`14
`
`at this point you do want to file a motion for
`
`15
`
`discovery.
`
`16
`
` ARGUMENT ON BEHALF OF PATENT OWNER
`
`17
`
` MR. McKEE: Sure, Your Honor. Our position
`
`18
`
`is that the Board has what it needs on the 315(b) bar
`
`19
`
`issue to decide that and to dismiss the trial on that
`
`20
`
`basis. But with the decision to institute the trial,
`
`21
`
`some issues were raised there by the Board. And so we
`
`22
`
`would seek to take discovery to address anything
`
`800-292-4789
`
`www.merrillcorp.com/law
`
`Merrill LAD
`
`

`

`INITIAL CONFERENCE CALL - 3/21/2013
`
`further that the Board may need in that regard.
`
`Page 8
`
` So what we've asked for in that connection
`
`is discovery on the privity relationship and also
`
`going to when that privity arose. And we've got a
`
`very concrete basis of course as set forth in our
`
`request for rehearing for pursuing this.
`
` What we've got is a situation where the
`
`petitioner Synopsys has acquired EVE, which was served
`
`with a complaint alleging infringement of the '376
`
`1
`
`2
`
`3
`
`4
`
`5
`
`6
`
`7
`
`8
`
`9
`
`10
`
`patent in 2006. And that was an acquisition which I
`
`11
`
`believe was consummated October 4, 2012, based on an
`
`12
`
`agreement to acquire executed on September 27.
`
`13
`
` So we have potentially, if the Board does
`
`14
`
`not adopt our position, an issue of when the privity
`
`15
`
`relationship arose. It's our position that it's
`
`16
`
`sufficient that the privity existed at the time that
`
`17
`
`the Board made its decision to institute the trial,
`
`18
`
`but we would like the opportunity if necessary to show
`
`19
`
`that a privity relationship existed on the day that
`
`20
`
`the petition was filed.
`
`21
`
` And there's an issue of actually when the
`
`22
`
`petition was effectively filed, as we've laid out.

`

`
`

`

`INITIAL CONFERENCE CALL - 3/21/2013
`
`Page 9
`And then also we'd like an opportunity to discover
`
`information that may show privity as far back as when
`
`the complaint was served on EVE in 2006. That is our
`
`first motion for discovery.
`
` Our second motion for discovery would be,
`
`well, let me add something as well. Also we've raised
`
`this issue of real party in interest. And EVE is now
`
`a wholly owned subsidiary of Synopsys. And we believe
`
`we are entitled to take further discovery as necessary
`
`1
`
`2
`
`3
`
`4
`
`5
`
`6
`
`7
`
`8
`
`9
`
`10
`
`to show that EVE may be a real party in interest. And
`
`11
`
`on that basis the proceedings should not go forward.
`
`12
`
`That's all part of Number 1.
`
`13
`
` Number 2 has to do with assignor estoppel
`
`14
`
`which, as we've laid out in our motions listing, we
`
`15
`
`believe applies in this case by virtue of the -- one
`
`16
`
`of the inventors of the '376 patent, Luc Burgun
`
`17
`
`assigning his rights to Mentor Graphics and then going
`
`18
`
`on to found EVE in this matter, so -- under the
`
`19
`
`doctrine of assignor estoppel. And we would urge that
`
`20
`
`that could be applied to inter partes review as well
`
`21
`
`as district court litigation. So we would be seeking
`
`22
`
`discovery on that issue as well.

`
`Page 10
` Lastly, Number 3, we are just leaving open
`
`the -- our right, reserving our right to move to amend
`
`the claims. And as we indicated, a decision to amend
`
`the claims has not been made at this point, but of
`
`course would be by the time that the patent owner
`
`serves its response.
`
` JUDGE MEDLEY: Okay. Just a few questions
`
`I have for you, just one on that last proposed motion.
`
`You understand that you need to arrange a conference
`
`1
`
`2
`
`3
`
`4
`
`5
`
`6
`
`7
`
`8
`
`9
`
`10
`
`call, right, if you decide to amend.
`
`11
`
` MR. McKEE: Yes absolutely. And we would
`
`12
`
`do that.
`
`13
`
` JUDGE MEDLEY: Okay. Great. Okay. And
`
`14
`
`with respect to the proposed motion, I think we could
`
`15
`
`do this in one motion. For discovery I just wanted to
`
`16
`
`see how committed, I mean with the understanding that
`
`17
`
`as I said earlier we are not tolling the times and we
`
`18
`
`are going forward.
`
`19
`
` So we just kind of assume for set aside the
`
`20
`
`request for rehearing, are you in a position to file
`
`21
`
`such a motion or committed to filing such a motion
`
`22
`
`soon, like within a week?

`
`Merrill LAD
`
`

`

`INITIAL CONFERENCE CALL - 3/21/2013
`
`Page 11
` MR. McKEE: Yes. I think we would be.
`
` JUDGE MEDLEY: Okay. Great. All right.
`
`So we'll hear from petitioner now.
`
` ARGUMENT ON BEHALF OF PETITIONER
`
` MR. WILLIAMS: This is William Wright for
`
`counsel for petitioner. Your Honor, we don't think
`
`discovery is appropriate. The Board has considered
`
`the issue of eligibility the file the IPR petition and
`
`that is -- should be finally decided by the Board's
`
`1
`
`2
`
`3
`
`4
`
`5
`
`6
`
`7
`
`8
`
`9
`
`10
`
`decision on the petition for rehearing. So discovery
`
`11
`
`is not appropriate.
`
`12
`
` With respect to the second proposed
`
`13
`
`discovery motion, that is not a basis for interfering
`
`14
`
`with the IPR review process that I am aware of
`
`15
`
`recognized under rule or law. And so any discovery
`
`16
`
`under that theory would be futile.
`
`17
`
` And then I understood this to be the time
`
`18
`
`when a motion to amend the claims would be noticed.
`
`19
`
`And so I just state the petitioner's intent to proceed
`
`20
`
`expeditiously with this proceeding.
`
`21
`
` JUDGE MEDLEY: Okay. Thank you. So do
`
`22
`
`either counsel have anything they want to say before

`
`Merrill LAD
`
`

`

`INITIAL CONFERENCE CALL - 3/21/2013
`
`Page 12
`we go off line to discuss the issues that were raised?
`
` MR. McKEE: I would just add that on the
`
`issue of assignor estoppel, it has not been decided
`
`with respect to these new inter partes review
`
`proceedings, so that's an open issue and that we
`
`deserve -- that we feel merits consideration.
`
` JUDGE MEDLEY: Okay. So I just want to
`
`make clear for petitioners, their position is you
`
`don't even think we should authorize them to file a
`
`1
`
`2
`
`3
`
`4
`
`5
`
`6
`
`7
`
`8
`
`9
`
`10
`
`motion for additional discovery?
`
`11
`
` MR. McKEE: Is that directed to the patent
`
`12
`
`owner?
`
`13
`
` JUDGE MEDLEY: That's directed to the
`
`14
`
`petitioner.
`
`15
`
` MR. WILLIAMS: Your Honor, you are correct.
`
`16
`
`We don't believe that the motions are appropriate
`
`17
`
`because they -- the first motion is on final decision
`
`18
`
`through the rehearing process, and the second has no
`
`19
`
`basis under rule or law.
`
`20
`
` JUDGE MEDLEY: And your basis for saying
`
`21
`
`that it's final and that they can't ask for it at this
`
`22
`
`point, what is your basis?

`
`Page 13
` MR. WILLIAMS: I, Your Honor, I only have
`
`the text of the rule. And so I have no basis beyond
`
`that. So Section 42.101 of the --
`
` JUDGE MEDLEY: 42.101.
`
` MR. WILLIAMS: I believe that's -- sorry.
`
`Yes. 42.101B.
`
` JUDGE MEDLEY: But there's nothing in that
`
`rule that says they can't seek discovery at this point
`
`and continue to argue, make its argument, correct?

`9
`
`10
`
`Hello?
`
`11
`
` MR. WILLIAMS: I understand that reading of
`
`12
`
`the rule, Your Honor. And so I will not contest their
`
`13
`
`ability to file the motion.
`
`14
`
` JUDGE MEDLEY: Okay. All right. Well,
`
`15
`
`we'll go off line for a few minutes, so stand by
`
`16
`
`please.

`
` DECISION OF THE PANEL
`

`
` JUDGE MEDLEY: So, okay, we are back. And

`

`
`Merrill LAD
`
`

`

`INITIAL CONFERENCE CALL - 3/21/2013
`
`Page 14
`we've discussed and conferred, and this is what we've
`
`come up with.
`
` As you know, in these proceedings,
`
`additional discovery that you seek that's -- and the
`
`interest of justice is the standard for that. And
`
`that makes sense because as you know there is -- we
`
`are limiting discovery in these proceedings because we
`
`are hitting the ground running. We have to finish
`
`within a year.
`
`1
`
`2
`
`3
`
`4
`
`5
`
`6
`
`7
`
`8
`
`9
`
`10
`
` So with that in mind, we will authorize the
`
`11
`
`patent owner to file one motion, single motion for
`
`12
`
`additional discovery. And that motion will be due
`
`13
`
`Wednesday, next week. And then the opposition is due
`
`14
`
`the following Tuesday.
`
`15
`
` So Wednesday of next week would be the
`
`16
`
`27th. And then the Tuesday, April 2, is when the
`
`17
`
`opposition would be due.
`
`18
`
` MR. McKEE: Now, Your Honor --
`
`19
`
` JUDGE MEDLEY: Yes.
`
`20
`
` MR. McKEE: Just as a practical issue, I
`
`21
`
`have plans to be out through Wednesday of next week.
`
`22
`
`Could we get that pushed back to the end of the week.

`

`
`you be able Thursday then the 4th?
`
`13
`
` MR. WILLIAMS: Yes, Your Honor.
`
`14
`
` JUDGE MEDLEY: Okay. Okay. Are there any
`
`15
`
`questions?
`
`16
`
` MR. McKEE: I'd just be interested in any
`
`17
`
`guidance you can provide us with respect to the types
`
`18
`
`of discovery that -- and amount that you receptive to.
`
`19
`
`I am familiar with the -- it was the Garmin decision
`
`20
`
`that received some publicity, but any guidance in that
`
`21
`
`respect would be appreciated.
`

`
` JUDGE MEDLEY: Okay. Well, outside of the

`Garmin case, there's also the Microsoft Proxyconn
`
`case, the decision that went out on additional
`
`discovery in that case also. And I'm not aware of any
`
`other decisions we've made with respect to the
`
`discovery.
`
` So outside of those decisions, I don't know
`
`that I would really be able to give you much more
`
`guidance than that.
`
` MR. McKEE: Okay.

`
`burden there.

`
`14
`
`to file that both with respect to the 315(b) issue and
`
`15
`
`the assignor estoppel issue?
`

`
`want to tell us. That's fine.
