`Conduct of the Proceeding
` 37 C.F.R. § 42.5
`
`
`
`On November 5, 2013, a conference call was held between counsel for the
`respective parties and Judges Medley, Turner, and Cocks.
`The purpose of the conference call was for the parties to seek guidance on
`whether Petitioner may cross-examine two of Patent Owner’s witnesses.
`
`
`
`Case IPR2013-00020
`Patent 7,297,364 B2
`
`
`
`
`
`In support of Patent Owner’s reply to Petitioner’s opposition to Patent
`Owner’s motion to amend, Patent Owner relies on the declaration of A. Harvey
`Bell (Ex. 2004, ¶¶ 54-55, and 79) and the declaration of Dimitris Katsamberis (Ex.
`2007, ¶¶ 27-29). Paper 55 at 3-4 (“Patent Owner’s reply”). According to counsel
`for the respective parties, Patent Owner did not rely on either declaration in
`support of Patent Owner’s motion to amend (Paper 38), but did rely on both
`declarations in support of Patent Owner’s response (Paper 33). Petitioner cross-
`examined both witnesses as to the declarations they made in support of Patent
`Owner’s response.
`Based on the discussion had during the conference call, Petitioner withdrew
`its request to cross-examine Mr. Katsamberis, but argued that it should be able to
`cross-examine A. Harvey Bell. Specifically, counsel for Petitioner argued that Mr.
`Bell’s testimony was relied on in a different light in the context of Patent Owner’s
`reply than how it was relied on in the context of Patent Owner’s response. As
`such, Petitioner argues that it should be authorized to cross-examine Mr. Bell.
`Patent Owner opposed any additional cross-examination of Mr. Bell. Based on the
`discussion had, the Board agrees with the Petitioner and authorizes Petitioner to
`cross-examine Mr. Bell. As explained, the scope of the cross-examination shall be
`limited to questioning Mr. Bell on his statements made in Exhibit 2004, ¶¶ 54-55,
`and 79.
`
`Order
`
`It is
`ORDERED that Petitioner is authorized to cross-examine A. Harvey Bell
`and that the scope of the cross-examination shall be limited to questioning Mr. Bell
`on his statements made in Exhibit 2004, ¶¶ 54-55, and 79.
